초록

The aim of this study is to examine the authenticity of a corpus by comparing it with an American TV drama. Through the results of the comparison, we can find out what is perceived as authentic by learners and what is more appropriate to suggest as a conversation model. The role of the content and form in making conversations authentic to learners is emphasized and these have been chosen as criteria for comparison. The corpus of contemporary American English and the American TV drama, Grimm were used as materials for the comparison. According to the results, the content of COCA is realistic, but boring and hard to understand while the dramatized content of Grimm is interesting to students. In addition, the transformed form ignoring the discourse units of COCA is not appropriate to suggest a conversation model compared to the preserved form following the discourse units of Grimm. These findings suggest that the realism of materials is not enough to obtain authenticity and that scripted and dramatized materials might be perceived as more authentic to learners.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the authenticity of a corpus by comparing it with an American TV drama. Through the results of the comparison, we can find out what is perceived as authentic by learners and what is more appropriate to suggest as a conversation model. The role of the content and form in making conversations authentic to learners is emphasized and these have been chosen as criteria for comparison. The corpus of contemporary American English and the American TV drama, Grimm were used as materials for the comparison. According to the results, the content of COCA is realistic, but boring and hard to understand while the dramatized content of Grimm is interesting to students. In addition, the transformed form ignoring the discourse units of COCA is not appropriate to suggest a conversation model compared to the preserved form following the discourse units of Grimm. These findings suggest that the realism of materials is not enough to obtain authenticity and that scripted and dramatized materials might be perceived as more authentic to learners.
