연결어미 ‘-고’와 ‘-아서’에 대한 외국인 유학생의 인식 조사 연구

Abstract

This study conducted a survey of perception focusing on the meaning of temporal sequentiality of the conjunction endings ‘-Go’ and ‘-Aseo’ targeting foreign students with intermediate or higher level of Korean language proficiency. The two endings share the meaning of ‘order, continuation, cause/ground’ based on temporal sequentiality. And foreign learners do not accurately understand the meaning shared by the two endings and continuously produce errors in the use of spoken and written Korean. As a result of surveying 122 international students about their perception of endings, the error rate was very low for ‘-Go’ in Listing(Equal, Opposite) and ‘-Aseo’ in Cause, On the other hand, there was a high error rate in Order, Continuation, and Cause/evidence. In particular, when ‘-Go’ was the Cause, the error rate was over 70%. Even though the content has already been learned at the basic level, many errors appear in middle and high level learners. It appears that there is a need to improve the content and methods of teaching ‘-Go’ and ‘-Aseo’. Regarding the learning contents of ‘-Go’ and ‘-Aseo’, understanding can be aided by presenting the meaning shared by the two endings at the beginner level and comparing the expression patterns. I also suggest presenting the learning sequence as follows: ‘-Go’ of Listing // ‘-Aseo, -Go’ of Reason, Cause // ‘-Go, -Aseo’ of Order // ‘-Aseo, -Go’ of Continuation. As an educational method, a device is needed to compare the semantic and syntactic differences between ‘-Go’ and ‘-Aseo’ to ensure accurate use of the two endings.
