러시아어 학습을 위한 디지털 마인드맵의 활용

Abstract

This paper purports to report how to apply the mind map software(Digital Mind Map) to Russian Language Learning and suggest more effective methods of using it. The Digital Mind Map is an improved version of the Mind Map software which reflected the basic principles and structures. Accordingly, this paper examined characteristics of the traditional Mind Map and the method of utilizing it since it provides the basic structure and usage for the Digital Mind Map. Then, along with the functions of the traditional software, the new functions of the Digital Mind Map were used to teach Russian vocabulary, sentences, grammar and ‘retelling(pereskaz)’. As for vocabulary, the students were asked to brainstorm the vocabulary related to the specific topic, which were classified by using one of the important functions of the drag and drop in the Node. Then, these words were examined for their BOIs to identify patterns and relationships among the words in order to find ways to help the students learn more vocabulary effectively. With regard to teaching sentences, both brainstorming and clustering words in numbers were done so as to first extract words related to specific topics and, then, to number the words for the story construction in a chronological order according to each theme. In doing so, the words which can be used for the same sentence are numbered the same and the numbers are assigned sequentially based on the chronological order of the story. Then, effective ways of making appropriate sentences in Russian were examined by clustering the words with the same number using the function of the drag and drop. As for grammar, the students were asked to point out the syntactical compatibility of any verbs related to the specific images(clipart), which were prepared in the Digital Mind Map. Finally, for the proficiency in monologic speech developed the Pereskaz Digital Mind Map models using all foregoing teaching method. In this study introduced one or two models of four object(Russian vocabulary, sentences, grammar and ‘retelling(pereskaz)’). More active developing of many kinds of Digital Mind Map models depends on the original ideas and positive participation of students and instructors.
