Our ongoing research project aims to elucidate the process of Hangul learning and individual differences among Korean language learners in Japan, adopting the developmental dyslexia research perspective. In this presentation, we will report the results of a multiple-choice test analysis conducted as part of this project, focusing on characters for which learners are likely to make errors. The test was conducted on beginner-level learners of Korean as a second foreign language at Japanese universities. It consisted of seven questions, each of which played a monosyllabic Korean sound and presented a choice of four characters. Tests were conducted nine times during the semester. The questions consisted of the following seven patterns: (1) alternation of the basic vowel jamo, (2) alternation of the composite vowel jamo, (3) alternation of the basic consonant jamo, (4) alternation of the basic vowel jamo in the heavy syllable, (5) alternation of the basic consonant jamo (with fictional characters as options), (6) alternation of the composite vowel jamo (with fictional characters as options), and (7) random alternation of characters. Analysis of the test results, with particular attention to question type, revealed significantly lower percentages of correct responses in (2), (4), (5), and (6) question types compared to type (7). For question type (6), which had the lowest percentage of correct answers, an examination of error trends revealed that there was a particularly large number of cases of incorrectly selecting fictitious characters, with o replaced by u for the /wa/ sound. The results of the above errors may be explained by the concept of transparency among the "hypothesis of granularity and transparency" presented by Wydell & Butterworth (1999) in their study of developmental dyslexia. That is, the Korean phoneme /w/ may correspond to o or u in spelling, and there is no one-to-one correspondence between phoneme and jamo. This suggests that special attention should be paid to the teaching of composite vowels representing the /w/ sound in Korean language education. We would like to further examine the tendency of low-scoring groups after increasing the number of collaborators, and to investigate other cases where transparency may be relevant, such as the spelling of words involving morphophonological rules, in the future. By doing so, we would like to obtain further suggestions on how the teaching of the Korean writing system should be conducted according to learners’ characteristics.

学習者のハングル書き取り能力はどう変化するのか？―音節書き取りテストの予備的分析―

第二外国語としての朝鮮語のクラスには，ハングルを容易に習得する学習者とそうでない学習者とがいる。学習者のハングル習得にはなぜ個人差があるのだろうか？学習者が経験する困難さの種類には，個人差があるのだろうか？学習者のハングル習得はどのような過程をたどるのだろうか？これらの疑問の解明のための第一歩として，発表者らは名古屋大学の毎回の授業においてハングル書き取りテストを継続的に実施している。本発表は，その一部である一学期分の解答を予備的に分析した結果を報告するものである。テストは，あらかじめ録音した朝鮮語の音節を再生し，それをハングルで書きとらせるという形で行った。正答率の傾向をクラスター分析した結果，学期を通しての正答率の変化に関して、学習者を三つのグループに分類できることが明らかになった。このほか，誤りの傾向についても分析を試みる。
