Learner-oriented Education of Writing Footnotes in KAP

외국인 유학생을 위한 학습자 중심의 각주 쓰기 교육방안 연구

As KAP(Korean as an Academic Purpose) learners have been highly increasing over the last decade, the significance of effective education for them has been emphasized. Writing an academic thesis has been commonly mentioned as one of the most difficult academic tasks by KAP learners. This study specifically analyzes footnotes, one of the most outstanding text genre-based phenomena of the academic thesis which cannot be found in any other text genres. The reason why this study is conducted is that the errors of KAP learners' footnotes are largely misleading and thus cannot function well in the text. On the premise that learner-oriented education is possible only when learners' texts are considered, this study analyzes KAP learners' footnotes. Based on the results of analysis regarding literacy errors and tendency of frequency, specific learner-oriented education for writing footnotes are suggested. (University of Seoul)
