Aspects and Characteristics of Diphthong Pronunciation Errors in Korean Language Acquisition: Focused on Intermediate Korean Learners from Uzbekistan

The purpose of this paper is to present basic data on diphthong pronunciation education for Uzbek Korean learners by revealing the patterns and characteristics of diphthong pronunciation errors of Uzbek Korean learners. Items that need to be corrected or supplemented in diphthong education for Uzbek learners were selected as /ㅢ, ㅛ, wi, wE/. The pronunciation error rate of the /ㅢ/ was 96.3% when there was no preceding consonant at the beginning, which was significantly higher than the error rate of /ㅢ/ in other conditions. This was a result of the fact that the pronunciation form of /ㅢ/ was different according to the influence of the mother tongue and phonological conditions. It was suggested to correct the error by repeating the learning of the short vowel /ㅡ/ in the diphthong learning. The pronunciation error of /ㅛ/ was 40.7%, and it was found that the pronunciation error rate of male was higher than that of female. This was confirmed by the influence of the vowel /ㅗ/, and in the case of male Uzbek learners, the vowel space of /ㅗ/ overlapped with /ㅓ/ a lot, thus affecting /ㅛ/ pronunciation. Therefore, it was suggested that the pronunciation education of /ㅛ/ should also be modified through education on the short vowel /ㅗ/. Finally, the error rates of /wE/ and /wi/ were 53.1% and 19.8%, respectively. Writing reinforcement education and articulation education method that reduce the influence of mother tongue were suggested.
