ABSTRACT

This study aims to educate learners of discourse marker to improve their presentation skills. Discourse marker enhances the cohesion and connectivity of the presentation and serves to convey the speaker’s intentions better. To find out about how to educate discourse markers, we first analyzed the usage patterns of discourse markers in the presentation of Korean Language learners and Native speakers of Korean language. As a result, the Native Speaker used discourse markers the most to connect or deepen the topic However, Korean Language learners used discourse markers the most to fill in the gaps in the conversation. These result show that Korean Language learner’s usage of discourse markers is small in their type and does not have a effective impact on the presentation. To make an improve on this problem and to let the Korean Language learners use various discourse markers, this three-step education method of discourse marker was presented. The first step is to dictate the learner’s presentation in order to recognize the deficiency with the usage of the discourse markers. In the second step, the learners will study the meanings of discourse markers and see the example situations used by native speakers. The third step is to revise the discourse markers that used in the presentation of his or her colleague through discussion. For the last, by delivering the revised presentation again, and see the actual use of the discourse markers that have studied. This three-step education method is intended to help Korean Language learners improve their presentation skills by using appropriate discourse markers.
