초록

The goal of this paper is to investigate Korean high school students’ knowledge of the English ‘-ic/-ical adjective+noun’ collocation. Three pairs of ‘-ic/-ical adjectives(economic/economical, classic/classical, and historic/historical) were tested. The subjects are 120 high school students, who are divided into 4 different groups(1st class~4th class) according to their grades on Korean College Scholastic Ability Test. The result was as follows. First, the ratio of correct answer was in the order of the first class group(61.54%), the second class(58.06%), the third class(56.60%), and the fourth class(56.40%). Second, among the three pairs of -ic/-ical adjectives, economic/economical scored the highest point(83.33%), historic/historical the second(49.33%), and classic/classical the lowest (45.92%). Third, the frequency in COCA was not in accordance with the ratio of correct answer. For example, the frequency of classic example is the highest(571) of the nouns, but its score was only 30.00%, which is second to the lowest. The result of the study shows that we need to make textbooks based on the corpus of native English speakers and to develop a teaching and training method, in order to help EFL students improve their knowledge of collocations and speak them fluently.

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to investigate Korean high school students’ knowledge of the English ‘-ic/-ical adjective+noun’ collocation. Three pairs of ‘-ic/-ical adjectives(economic/economical, classic/classical, and historic/historical) were tested. The subjects are 120 high school students, who are divided into 4 different groups(1st class~4th class) according to their grades on Korean College Scholastic Ability Test. The result was as follows. First, the ratio of correct answer was in the order of the first class group(61.54%), the second class(58.06%), the third class(56.60%), and the fourth class(56.40%). Second, among the three pairs of -ic/-ical adjectives, economic/economical scored the highest point(83.33%), historic/historical the second(49.33%), and classic/classical the lowest (45.92%). Third, the frequency in COCA was not in accordance with the ratio of correct answer. For example, the frequency of classic example is the highest(571) of the nouns, but its score was only 30.00%, which is second to the lowest. The result of the study shows that we need to make textbooks based on the corpus of native English speakers and to develop a teaching and training method, in order to help EFL students improve their knowledge of collocations and speak them fluently.
