This study explored the effectiveness of the online English learning program contents for elementary school students. The study used the online English learning program served by Gyeonggi province office of education. 107 students attending P elementary school in K city volunteered for the program. After studying English via the website for almost one year, they were asked to respond the questionnaires related to the contents of the online English program. Since the research investigated that the relations of students' grades, the time for the study, their diagnostic test scores, and the effectiveness of the contents, the survey responses were analyzed with Spearman correlation. As a result, older students thought that the type of problem-solving, the type of performing a task, WBI (Web Based Instruction) were not efficacious. Also, these types of online English program were chosen as ineffective from the students at the higher level. Whereas the type of private lesson, the lessons based on a story, and the type of animation were preferred to the students who spent longer time on the website. This highlights the need to consider the students' characteristics such as students' grades, the time for the study, and their English level when developing the contents of the online English learning program.

본 연구에서는 온라인 상에서 대학학위 과정 교육을 목적으로 제작된 외국어 콘텐츠의 웹 아이덴티티 규명의 필요성과 규명된 웹 아이덴티티와 학습동기유발간의 상관관계를 연구하는데 중점을 둔다. 본 연구에서 채택된 외국어 교육 콘텐츠는 타 교육 분야보다 각 민족 언어의 아이덴티티가 시각적으로 재현되는 방식이 다양하다는 점에서 연구대상으로 부각되었다. 본 연구는 기존에 제시된 바 있는 웹 아이덴티티 분석 기준에서 출발하여 온라인 교육 콘텐츠 측면에서 이를 적용 및 재해석하고, 온라인 교육 콘텐츠 의 웹 아이덴티티 기준을 추가하였다. 따라서, 본 연구는 4년제 학사 학위를 수여하는 국내 0 사이버대학교의 외국어 교육 콘텐츠(영어, 일어, 중국어)의 사례를 웹 아이덴티티를 구현하는 세부 요소--시각디자인측면, 사운드측면, 인터페이스측면--에 맞추어 분석을 시도하였다. 또한 웹 아이덴티티가 적용된 각 외국어 교육 콘텐츠의 교육 효과 획득을 위한 학습동기유발 효과와의 상관관계를 알기 위하여 웹 아이덴티티가 적용, 제작된 외국어 교육 콘텐츠와 웹 아이덴티티가 적용되지 않은 채 제작된 외국어 교육 콘텐츠 간의 주의력, 관련성, 자신감, 만족감 등 학습동기유발 효과를 비교하는 설문 조사를 진행하였다. 이를 통해 온라인 외국어 교육 콘텐츠에 있어서 웹 아이덴티티의 개발과 적용이 외국어 교육 효과를 높이는 학습동기유발에 유의미한 역할을 한다는 것이 확인되었다.

This study investigated cyber university students' motivation and demotivation in learning English. Data was collected from a survey of 498 students in a general English course at a cyber university located in Seoul. The survey inquired into participants' English learning motivation and demotivation. To analyze the data, frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA were used. The findings reveal that among the motivation factors ideal L2 self was the main cause of motivation followed by promotion-based instrumentality. Among the demotivation factors the anxiety factor was found to have the highest mean followed by negative investment value for learning English. The statistical analysis of English learning motivation and demotivation according to the participants' characteristics indicates that, in terms of English learning motivation factors, the male participants' ought-to L2 self was significantly higher than that of the females' and the promotion-based instrumentality of the students who are unemployed was higher than those who are employed. Moreover, the younger the students' age, the higher their competitive motivation and promotion-based instrumentality. In terms of English learning demotivation, the female respondents achieved higher scores in the factors of anxiety, passive learning style, and negative investment value for learning English than their male counterparts. In addition, employed students showed higher demotivation in negative investment value for learning English than those without employment. The findings of this research can be used in developing online English programs for cyber university students who possess diverse learning goals.

The purpose of the present study is to explore and propose a new approach of language acquisition offered by the internet. This study presents effective methods of using the internet in carrying out the written work. In this paper, we show that the relationship between participation of the learners in the class activities and improvement of English writing skills are mutually proportional.

Offline English Zone refers to a physical environment in which the learners can check the results while they practice speaking and listening in English, and look up the vocabulary and information on their own. However, offline English zone is inevitably dependent on limited and artificial environment and its operation is greatly limited in having to provide an environment in which the students can spontaneously experience role play in an artificial space set in a small-scale English village consisting of shopping, restaurant, and hospital zones. The purpose of this study is to analyze the problems of the environmental restrictions in educational methodology utilizing offline English zone programs. Moreover, based on the ubiquitous concept. It is to provide a strategy for utilizing online English zone programs which utilize multimedia tools, wireless internet, and SNS.

This study aims to investigate the class satisfaction of the students enrolled in between a primary and secondary teacher's college, and to identify any statistical differences among the class satisfaction factors. In order to answer these questions, a survey of 50 questionnaires were distributed to 54 primary teachers' college students and 50 secondary teacher's college ones, respectively. A survey consisted of 5 categories including class contents, instruction results, class environment, instructional supports and efficiency. To analyze data, the descriptive analysis and independent sample t-test were administerd using Jamovi statistical program. The results revealed that there was no significant difference between two groups in terms of the overall class satisfaction, even though the mean score from the secondary teachers' college students was higher than that of the primary teachers' college students. However, there was a significant difference in the class satisfaction's sub categories: class environment, instructional supports and efficiency.

This paper aims to examine the relationship between global competence and English learning motivation, thereby finding an effective way to strengthen learners' global competence. Data are collected from 361 freshmen studying in a compulsory English course at H University in Seoul, using a survey with five-point Likert scale. Results reveal that there is a positive relationship between global competence and all four components of English learning motivation(integrativeness, instumentality, intrinsic and external motivation). Especially the correlation between global competence and learners' integrativeness is found to be the highest. Thus, this paper proposes two applicable class activities under the assumption that strengthening integrativeness is the most effective way to promote global competence.
