Abstract

Modern society is rapidly changing by the Internet, and it is getting influential on the field of education. Learners can learn what they want to learn actively and freely at their desired level at anywhere in their free time by using the internet. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to find out the methods for improving writing ability through e-learning. The results of the study are as follows: First, learners can attend a lecture to improve their writing ability and can get learning materials from on-line course sites, internet websites, communities and blogs. Second, e-learning is learner-centered education, so it stimulates learners learning motivation and interest. Third, learners have an opportunity to express their ideas freely, and they can gain cultural comprehension while they communicate with people in the world by e-mail and chatting.

인터넷에 의해 사회의 모든 분야가 변해가고 있으며 교육 분야에서도 그 영향력이 높아지고 있다. 이러닝은 인터넷을 이용하여 시간과 공간에 제약을 받지 않고 학습자가 원하는 수준과 방법으로 능동적인 학습할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 이러닝을 통하여 영어쓰기능력을 향상시키는 방안에 대해서 연구하였으며 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 온라인 강의 사이트, 인터넷 사이트, 커뮤니티나 블로그 등을 통해서 영어쓰기를 향상시키기 위한 강의를 들을 수 있고 학습 자료를 받을 수 있다. 둘째, 이러닝을 통한 영어쓰기 학습은 학습자 중심의 학습이며, 자신의 수준에 맞는 학습을 단계적으로 진행할 수 있다. 또한 자신이 선택한 학습을 하기 때문에 흥미를 가지고 능동적인 학습이 이루어진다. 셋째, 이메일이나 채팅을 통해 원어민과 글로 의사소통을 함으로써 자신의 생각을 자유롭게 표현할 수 있는 기회를 가질 수 있고, 다른 나라의 문화를 이해할 수 있으며 실질적인 영어를 학습할 수 있다.
