초록
The language informant for this study is a Korean child learner of English named Grace. She began to receive formal English instruction in the U.S.A. at the age of 8;6. The researcher’s interest was: How soon and how accurately can she speak English as her L2? Primarily, her accuracy in the use of the English copula be was studied. Three semi-structured tasks were administered: monologue Role-play, Description of two Picture Books, and Reading & Conversation. Grace’s spontaneous utterances were collected from March to October, 2006 using a digital voice recorder (Model: SVR-S820). 15 sessions of Grace’s oral production were analyzed. The child's average accuracy increased from 43% in March/April performances to 61% in September/ October performances. As time went on, the correct use of copula be in Task 1 showed a pretty wide range of distribution. According to Grace's data, English copula emerged from the very beginning of her learning.
