Abstract

This study aims to survey the effectiveness of the international distance learning between Korean and Japanese university students. This research is based on NWCCDL (Namseoul-Waseda Cross-Cultural Distance Learning) project in the spring semester, 2015. This project is the cross-cultural distance learning project between N University in Korea and W University in Japan, and the most important thing of this project is that this project is manipulated through the utilization of ICT. This research consists with two parts: the first is to introduce the NWCCDL project; the participants' information, and the contents and procedure of the on-line chatting program, and BBS(Bulletin Board System) activities. The second is to review on the students' satisfaction for the project and the utilization of ICT in English language education context. The analytic results of the questionnaire includes the students' satisfaction on this project and their reflection on the effectiveness of using ICT in English language classroom of Korea. The results prove that the most of the students are satisfied with the NWCCDL Project in the spring semester, 2015 and the most of the students agree with the fact that the utilization of ICT is very effective in English language education of Korea.

본 연구는 한국 영어교육 상황에 정보통신기술을 활용하는 것의 효율성을 입증하는 것이 목표이다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해서 본 연구는 2015년 봄 학기 동안에 진행된 남서울-와세다대학교 문화간원거리수업의 자료를 토대로 이루어졌다. 이 프로젝트는 한국의 N대학교와 일본의 W대학교 간의 문화간원거리수업으로서, 이 프로젝트의 가장 중요한 점은 정보통신기술을 활용하여 한국과 일본 사이의 수업을 진행하였다는 점이다. 이 연구 논문은 두 부분으로 구성되어 있는데, 첫 번째 부분은 문화간원거리수업을 소개하는 것인데, 참여자의 정보, 프로그램의 내용과 절차를 소개한다. 두 번째 부분은 이 프로젝트와 영어교육상황에 정보통신기술을 활용하는 방안의 효율성에 대한 학습자들의 만족도를 제시하는 것이다. 설문조사 결과는 이 프로젝트에 참여한 학습자들의 대부분은 문화간원거리수업 프로젝트에 만족하며 영어교육 상황에 정보통신기술을 활용하는 것은 영어교육에 매우 효과적이라는 사실에 동의하는 것을 입증하였다.
