FonF 연구의 최근 동향이 한국어 교육에 시사하는 점

Current Trends in FonF Research: Implications for Korean as a Second Language

This study reviews FonF research reported in a group of selected international journals and chapters in edited volumes between the period of January 2006 and July 2010 to identify and synthesize current trends in FonF research and offer future research suggestions for Korean as a second language. The three research trends identified were (a) an expansion of the concept of 'form' in FonF research from purely structural features to non-structural features (e.g., lexis), (b) an increase in technology-enhanced FonF research, and (c) an increase in synthesis of FonF research. Suggestions made for future research directions in KSL are as follows: (a) More data-based research to investigate individual or combined effects of each FonF task and technique with an expanded view of 'form' in FonF research, (b) technology-enhanced FonF research, and (c) meta analysis research are called for in KSL.
