Interactive roles of L1 properties and L2 textbook input for constructing L2 knowledge
This study investigates how morphosyntactic features of learners’ L1 (Czech; English) and characteristics of L2-textbook input jointly contribute to L2-Korean learners’ comprehension of Korean subject–predicate honorific agreement, focusing on the two mismatch conditions on the honorific status between a subject and a predicate. Textbook analysis revealed over-emphasis on the honorific suffix (and honorification in general) and unsystematic appro…
In the Middle of Somewhere
We examine how Korean heritage speakers (KHSs) in the United States, the minority population using Korean at home and English in daily life, understand their cultural identity and conflicts in their adolescence and college periods. While recognized as “model minority” with their academic and socioeconomic achievements, KHSs have been understudied and underrepresented regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion issues. Drawing on qualitative data c…
Learning Environment and Learning Outcome
This study examines the relationship between learning environments and learning outcomes in acquiring Korean as a language target. We compare two learner groups residing in the United States: English-speaking learners of Korean in foreign language contexts versus Korean heritage speakers. Both groups share English as their dominant language and receive similar tertiary-level instruction, yet differ in their language-learning profiles. We measure …
L2 textbook input and L2 written production
This study investigates how L2 learners of Korean in foreign language-learning environments manifest the target knowledge as a function of various factors surrounding the learners (e.g., L2 textbook input, language-specific properties, general language-use experience in class), specifically concerning the learners’ written production of the postposition–verb pair in a locative postposition–verb construction. For this purpose, we analyze two textb…
How ‘good-enough’ is second language comprehension? Morphological causative and suffixal passive constructions in Korean
The ‘good-enough’ processing account argues that, given the parallel activation of two parsing routes—algorithmic and heuristic parsing, the processor prefers heuristics over algorithms when unfolding incoming input. Literature on L2 ‘good-enough’ processing conjoins with this argument, also claiming that various factors may modulate how the L2 processor adjusts its way to heuristic or algorithmic parsing. The present study investigates how L2 le…
Input–output relation in second language acquisition
Studies on the role of input in L2 acquisition often estimate L2 input properties through L1 corpora and focus on L2-English. This study probes the initial stage of L2-Korean learning for adult English-speaking beginners of Korean to investigate input-output relations in the acquisition of L2 that is typologically different from English in a more direct manner. We specifically ask how L2 beginner input affects L2 beginner production with respect …
