韓國語 쓰기에서의 역번역 活動 사례 연구 –活動 結果 比較와 學習者 認識을 中心으로–

초록

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of using back-translation activities in Korean writing and learners’ perceptions of them. To do so, writing experiments using back translation activities were conducted on Korean language learners interested in acquiring advanced level proficiency, and their writing results were compared and analyzed before and after these activities were completed. Additionally, surveys and individual interviews confirmed the perception of back translation activities among learners. The study revealed that back translation activities enabled learners to realize their mistakes in writing and helped them to write higher-quality texts by addressing these weaknesses. Therefore, this contributed particularly to learning text structure and expression. Moreover, the effect and potential of back translation as a self-directed writing method was apparent by the fact that learners developed their writing skills on their own and without assistance of teachers. According to the learner perception survey, learners reported high satisfaction in general, and as a result, it was concluded that back translation activities improved learner’s confidence in writing and learners showed more interest. As a case study, this paper offers meaningful insight into the possibilities of educational mechanisms for back translation activities in Korean language education and demonstrates positive changes to and impacts on learners’ Korean writing.
