Abstract

This study aims to prove the value of convergence-based mobile English curriculum for English education prior to its practical use. This is deferent from the existing studies in developing and studying a curriculum using an English program loaded in mobile to make an effective English learning. In order to find out how well teachers are aware of this curriculum, we performed qualitative researches. Some English teachers asked for feedback about the curriculum gave us positive feedback in most areas such as learning authentic English, repetition effects, cooperative learning, self-efficacy experience, and so on. As a negative feedback, they were afraid of students' easy and free attitudes because of the new learning environments. This problem can be solved by the very close communications between teacher and student through on and off line. Next time applying this curriculum to the field and analyzing will be expected.

이 연구는 융합기반의 모바일영어커리큘럼을 실용에 앞서 그 가치를 입증하는 데 목적을 두고 있다. 본 연구는 모바일에 탑재되어있는 영어프로그램을 활용하여 효과적인 영어 학습이 될 수 있도록 커리큘럼을 개발하고 연구한다는 점에서 기존의 연구와 차이가 있다. 이 커리큘럼에 대한 교사의 이해와 인지 정도를 알아보기 위해 질적 연구를 수행했으며, 그 결과 영어교사들의 피드백은 실제 사용하는 영어 학습, 반복효과, 협동 학습, 자기효능감 경험 등의 대부분 긍정적 평가를 받았다. 부정적인 견해로는 전통적인 영어 학습 틀에서 벗어난 학습 환경으로 인해 학습에 임하는 '학습자들의 자세가 가벼울 수 있지 않을까?' 하는 염려가 있었다. 이 문제는 교사와 학습자 간에 온 오프라인을 통한 긴밀한 의사소통으로 해결될 수 있다. 향후 연구에서는 이 커리큘럼을 학습현장에서 활용하고 분석하는 연구가 진행되기를 기대한다.
