    This study explores the effectiveness of ChatGPT in an extracurricular English newsletter course at a university, assessing its impact on students’ writing skills and perceptions. Over several months, students from various academic backgrounds utilized ChatGPT to aid in the drafting of articles. The findings indicate a generally positive reception towards ChatGPT, with students appreciating the AI’s assistance in enhancing grammatical accuracy and stimulating creative thought processes. Nevertheless, there were concerns about overreliance on the tool, potentially stunting the development of their English language skills. The study underscores the importance of integrating AI tools like ChatGPT in educational settings in ways that supports active learning and maintains robust educational outcomes. - COLLAPSE

    The current study aims to develop and analyze a 72 lesson, class-based online retraining program for Korean language teachers-focusing on universities in Kazakhstan and Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to enhance the capacity of teachers by providing online courses outside of Korea. A 72-hour program with customized courses were provided to 4 universities locating Kazakhstan and Indonesia. 69 Korean language lecturers, including both in-university and off-campus teachers were participated in this study. Responses to the curriculum satisfaction survey were analyzed, and the results are as follows. Overseas teachers were satisfied with the structure and contents of the online program, and were positive about the curriculum. Lecturers from Kazakhstan with high language proficiency and extensive teaching experience were more satisfied than Indonesian lecturers. It turned out that there was a relative difference in how teachers accepted the educational content depending on their Korean language fluency. The more lecturers answered that they had no difficulty in understanding Korean materials, the more multimedia materials other than textbooks were used in Korean language classes. It was found that the teacher training process should be structured hierarchically according to the level of the Korean proficiency level and teaching experience. - COLLAPSE

    The Comparative Study of Korean ‘kathta’ Construction and Chinese ‘haoxiang’ Construction: Focusing on the Epistemic Modality

    This study aims to compare and analyze the syntactic and semantic characteristics of the ‘kathta’ construction through practical examples, focusing on the epistemic modality of the ‘haoxiang’ construction in Chinese. Specifically, the lexical meanings of ‘kathta’ and ‘haoxiang’ undergo a process of meaning semantic abstraction and become grammaticalized as expressions of epistemic modality, conveying a sense of speculation. However, in terms of syntactic characteristics, ‘kathta’ can be divided into cases where it takes an external argument and cases where it does not. In the former case, it retains its descriptive nature as a psychological adjective, relating to the subject’s speculation, while in the latter, it is grammaticalized as an epistemic modal, reflecting the speaker’s speculation. On the other hand, ‘haoxiang’ is fully grammaticalized as an epistemic modal, expressing only the speaker’s speculation. Therefore, this study distinguishes between the speaker’s speculation and the subject’s speculation, interpreting the syntactic differences between these two constructions through their respective syntactic structures. - COLLAPSE

    In the 2022 presidential election we witnessed enormous political rhetorics including Korean shortened forms. Nowadays Korean shortened forms are widespread and continue to expand in a variety of fields such as politics, the economy, mass media, and culture. There are several reasons for this increasing popularity: imitation mentality, the iconicity principle, subtle connotations of idioms, pride and self-esteem in word coinage, efforts to reduce the generation gap, and a competitive spirit. However, we should be careful about using an excessive number of shortened forms in Korean especially when they are related to sexual discrimination, depreciation, offense, and mockery. Furthermore, we should try to preserve the original and beautiful nature of the Korean language. - COLLAPSE

    Contextual Influence on the Use of ‘Who’, ‘Which’, and ‘That’

    This study examines the usage of the relative pronouns ‘who’, ‘which’, and ‘that’ in both written and spoken English, focusing on how context influences pronoun choice. Through a corpus- based analysis of 400 sentences—200 from formal written English and 200 from casual spoken English—the study identifies significant differences in pronoun usage across registers. The findings reveal that in formal written contexts, ‘who’ and ‘which’ are strongly preferred, reflecting a need for clarity and precision. In contrast, spoken English shows a greater reliance on ‘that’, particularly with inanimate antecedents, highlighting the greater versatile and concise nature of spoken language. Statistical analyses, including chi-square and binomial tests, were used to assess the significance of these differences. Additionally, Cramér’s V was calculated to measure the strength of association between context and pronoun choice. The results suggest a moderate association for ‘who’ vs. ‘that’ (Cramér’s V = 0.28) and a stronger association for ‘which’ vs. ‘that’ (Cramér’s V = 0.53), confirming that context plays a crucial role in relative pronoun selection. These findings have important implications for both linguistic theory and English language pedagogy, underscoring the need to teach context-sensitive grammar to learners. - COLLAPSE

    Structural Divergence in NP-Languages: Korean, Japanese and Turkish Compared

    This study investigates the nominal syntax of three article-less languages—Japanese, Korean, and Turkish—challenging the assumption of uniformity among so-called “NP-languages.” While these languages lack overt articles, they diverge significantly in their structural configurations, particularly concerning the presence or absence of a dedicated Case Projection (KP) above the NP. Drawing on insights from Bošković (2008, 2012, 2014), Despić (2011), and Takahashi (2011), I argue that Japanese consistently projects a KP, Turkish entirely lacks KP, and Korean occupies a transitional position: it employs Turkish-like NP structures with bare numerals but adopts Japanese-like KP projections when numerals combine with classifiers. Evidence for these distinctions comes from word order, binding phenomena, and partial ellipsis tests, including possessor-stranding NP-ellipsis. This analysis reveals that NP-languages are far more heterogeneous than previously recognized. Korean’s dual nominal configurations offer critical insights into cross-linguistic variation and morphological triggers, broadening our understanding of generative typology and the syntax of article-less languages. - COLLAPSE
