만 5세 유아와 초등학교 1학년을 위한 학습 도구어 조사 연구

초록

Children from low-income families enter school with underdeveloped academic vocabulary and they must receive help in developing academic language. Academic vocabulary lists should first be developed in order to design vocabulary intervention programs. This study aims to develop academic vocabulary lists for kindergarteners and first graders. Adopting the evidentiary framework developed by Bailey and Butler (2003), this study extracted academic vocabulary from a corpus based on the following resources: Korea’s national curriculum, teachers’ manual, lesson plans, and classroom oral interaction. The academic vocabulary list for kindergartners contains 147 word families and the academic vocabulary list for first graders includes 168 world families. The comparison of the vocabulary list of the present study and that of previous study revealed a high degree of agreement, supporting the validity of the vocabulary list. Finally, the analysis of vocabulary levels showed that the majority of the vocabularies belong to levels 1 and 2, and as many as 20% of the words belonged to levels 3 and 4.
