  • As vocabulary acquisition has become one of the emerging key issues in the foreign language education field, interest in vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) has also increased. However, little has been done to investigate the vocabulary learning strategies of young learners. Therefore, this study attempts to investigate VLS use in elementary school English language textbooks. A total of three fifth grade English textbooks and teachers' guidebooks were chosen and analyzed with the vocabulary learning strategies taxonomy suggested by Scbmitt (1997). The researcher identified there were only a limited number of vocabulary learning strategies in the textbooks and most of them were consolidation strategies. It was concluded that a variety of VLS should be introduced in multiple ways in consideration of learner preference, styles, culture and level of English proficiency. Some implications for the teaching and learning of vocabulary for EFL instruction amongst young learners are discussed.

  • This research comes from the premise that a student-oriented English digital textbook's design should be age appropriate. Our study is intended for third-year elementary students, since that age is the onset of English education within the Korean national curriculum. Our proposal focuses on this age's need for concrete information. Three popular textbooks' designs were analyzed using Cress's "Grammar Flame of Visual Design [Cress 2006]," and the results reflected in our modified book design. Via two case studies, a focus group interview, questionnaire, and observation analysis, we learned that the design of an age-appropriate digital English textbook changes the effectiveness of the education. An age-appropriate modified digital English textbook improves student satisfaction and interest. Our research proposes a systematic textbook design guide for age-specific preferences and characteristics.

  • In 2014, third and fourth graders in primary schools will start using digital textbooks for social science, science, and English. Fifth and sixth graders will follow the next year. Given this situation, this study investigated the awareness of digital textbooks by primary school teachers who did not have direct experience with digital textbooks. Also studied was the teachers' acceptance of digital textbooks, based on the Technology Acceptance Model. The results showed that most respondents were not ready to use digital textbooks, and they were apprehensive about their use. However, if the teachers were required to use digital textbooks, usefulness and playfulness were key factors in their acceptance.

  • The aim of this study was to analyze the cultural contents represented in elementary school English textbooks for grades 3 and 4 based on the 2015 revised Korean national curriculum. An analysis of cultural contents was conducted on the basis of Morgan(2001)'s five category criteria. Among the five aspects of culture, 'practices' relevant to daily life were presented most frequently in the textbooks followed by 'products'. English textbooks showed a relatively low frequency in 'perspectives' and 'communities' areas of culture. 'Persons' did not appear at all in all eight textbooks. It revealed that there was a serious imbalance in the representation of textbook about cultural contents. In conclusion, there should be balanced cultural contents for the students to have a balanced cultural awareness and to accept cultural diversity and differences. In addition, textbooks should include more various cultural materials and activities for the students to develop four key competencies suggested on the 2015 revised Korean national curriculum.

  • We aim to investigate whether the activities in the 2015 revised elementary English textbooks are reflected in terms of Multiple Intelligences. Specifically, we analyze three types of activities including project, game, and cultural activities in three types of the 5th grade English textbooks. Additionally, we compare the differences in the Multiple Intelligences according to three different publishers. The data includes three different sorts of fifth-grade English textbook activities. We found that verbal-linguistic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and visual-spatial intelligence are heavily involved in project activities. Verbal-linguistic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, visual-spatial intelligence, and kinesthetic intelligence are all utilized in game activities. Lastly, cultural activities demonstrate verbal-linguistic and visual-spatial intelligence. In consideration of the diversity of students, we suggest that English textbooks need to consider diverse and well balanced approach to incorporating Multiple Intelligences in order to make the textbooks to meet the needs of the diversity of learners.

  • 의사소통식 영어교수법은 Widdowson (1978)이래, 과거 20여 년간의 여러 외국어 교수 방법들을 (침묵식 교수법, Gattegno; 자연적 교수법, Terrell & Krashen; 전신반웅 교수법, Asher; 집단언어 학습법, Curran; 암시적 교수법, Lozanov) 거치면 서, 이들 중에서 의사소통을 중심으로 한 여러 가지 방법을 총괄하여, 명실공히 외국어 교육 방법의 중심으로 그 자리를 갈수록 확고히 잡아가고 있다. 의사소통식 교수법은 우선 언어란 의사소통을 위한 수단이며, 의사소통은 사회 속에서 일어나는 사회 언어적 행위로 본다. 따라서, 외국어 교육의 목적을 무엇보다도 의사소통 기능의 숙달에 두는 것이다. 일반적인 의사소통 상황을 보면 발화내용의 문법적 정확성은 그 상황에 대한 내용의 적절성 여부에 비하면, 부수적인 것이다. 예를 들면, 사과를 하는 의사소통기능을 공부하면서, 사과하는 표현으로 Sorry라는 말을 썼다고 하자. 이때, 영어는 주어 생략 언어가 아니기 때문에, Sorry 대신에 문법적으로 완전한 문장인 I'm sorry 로 표현해야 한다는 문법적인 문제보다는 사과하는 표현이 그 상황에서 적절하게 쓰인 것인지를 묻는 것에 초점을 맞춘 것이 의사소통식 교수 방법이다. 현재, 초등학교 16 종 영어 교과서도 의사소통 기농들을 적절한 상황에 맞춰서 의사소통식 교수 방법의 정신을 비교적 잘 반영하고 있다. 그러나, 발음에서만큼은 아직도 의사소통식 교수방법을 무시하고, 정확한 발음의 명시적인 설명이나, 예시에 그치는 경향이 뚜렷하다. 이러한 경향은 교육부에서 고시한 제6차 교육과정과 이에 따른 해설서에서 되풀이되고 있다. 발음지도에 많은 관심을 기울여 많은 양의 지면을 할애하고 있음에도 불구하고, 전후에 흐르는 의사 소통식 영어교육의 맥을 완전히 끊고, 단지 정확한 발음의 해부학적 예시와 기술에 그 치고 있다 (임영재 외 1995). 이러한 발음기관의 단면도를 이용한 해부학적 발음의 예시는 특정 자음의 정확한 혀의 위치를 알려 줄 수는 있지만, 발음훈련을 대신하지는 못한다. 예를 들어, 자전거를 타고자 하는 사람이 자전거의 페달을 밟았을 때, 그 동력전달 과정을 자세히 소개한 책자를 읽었다고 해서, 자전거를 탈 수 있는 것은 아니다. 역시, 자전거를 타고자 하면, 실제로 타고 넘어지면서 배우게 되는 것이다. 그리고, 발음훈련의 경우 교재의 내용이나 의사소통 기능은 의사소통식으로 가르치면서도 발음만큼은 아직도 원어민의 입모양을 활용한 듣고 따라하기 식의 전통적인 방법의 발음훈련을 계속하고 있다. 이러한 전통적 발음훈련 방법은 구체적으로 다음 장에서 제시되겠지만, 초등학교에서 듣고 따라하기나 듣고 골라내기와 같은 방법으로 발음훈련을 하면, 많은 학생들이 쉽게 지루해 하고, 아마 영어시간 중에서 가장 싫어하는 시간이 발음연습 시간이 될 가능성이 많이 있다. 현재 의사소통식 교수 방법을 모태로 한 교과서에서도 의사소통식 발음지도법을 쓰지 않았다는 것은 새로이 시작하는 초등학교 영어교육에서 아쉬운 점이라 아니할 수 없다. 초등학교 학생들에 대한 발음 지도의 핵심은 그들의 지적, 정서적, 신체적 특징을 잘 고려해야 한다. 초등학교 학생은 지적, 정서적, 신체적으로 성장기에 있어서, 호기심이 많고, 모방성이 강하며, 감수성이 예민하여 마음에 상처를 받기도 쉽다. 그리고, 무엇보다도, 끊임없이 신체적으로 움직이고 싶어한다. 이러한 학생들의 특정 을 반영하여 발음을 지도하는 길은 역시 초등학교 교과서의 다른 영역들처럼, 학생들은 움직이는 활동을 하면서 재미를 느끼고, 교사는 이들 활동을 통해서 교수목표를 성취하는 쪽으로 맞추어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 발음지도가 필요한 이유와 요인을 살펴본다. 그리고, 전통적인 발음지도 방법을 일별해 보고, 의사소통식 발음지도법을 제시하는 순으로 논의를 전개하기로 한다.

  • The purpose of this study is to guide efficient ways to teach cultural aspects in Korean elementary English education through analyzing many studies on elementary English culture education. In global era, English education must be performed based on understanding of other various cultures for authentic communication. However, Korean elementary students have difficulty to approach or to be exposed to the culture of English speaking countries. Elementary English culture education is neither well organized nor performed for some reasons. The reasons are as follows. Frist, English teachers are not confident with the culture and they consider themselves not having enough experiences and knowledge to teach. They were not taught cultural aspects and the cultural aspects were not emphasized. Second, there are not appropriate culture related teaching materials in the textbooks and teachers' guide books. Therefore, necessary cultural aspects should be selected by English education experts and provided in the textbooks and teachers' guide books. Those two books should be systematically connected. Elementary English teachers should have more opportunities to understand and experience other various cultures. Language is a part of culture and culture is a part of language. Acquiring the second language is acquiring its culture. The culture education for authentic communication is accomplished from managing cultural aspects in textbooks and cultivating English teachers with experience and understanding of target culture.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine the vertical and horizontal continuity between grades and publishers, respectively, by analyzing the readability of reading passages included in English textbooks for 5th and 6th grades of elementary school. In order to do so, a corpus was constructed with the reading passages contained in 10 textbooks, and the reading passages in each textbook were analyzed through Coh-Metrix. Also, it was examined whether there was a statistically significant difference between grades and publishers in readability through one-way ANOVA. The results are as follows. First, as a result of analyzing the difference in readability between publishers within the same grade, there was a statistically significant difference between fifth-grade textbooks in the L2 readability index. Second, as a result of analyzing the vertical continuity between grades within the publisher, the difficulty of textbook A was higher in grade 6 than grade 5 based on FRE and FKGL, which showed a statistically significant difference. On the other hand, when L2 readability was used as the standard, the difficulty of textbook B was lower in 6th grade than in 5th grade. This result seems to be because FRE and FKGL calculate readability based on sentence and word length, whereas L2 readability is based on content word overlap, word frequency, and syntactic similarity of sentences.

  • In response to the era of transformation necessitating the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technologies, educational innovation is undertaken with the implementation of AI digital textbooks in Mathematics, English, and Information subjects by 2025 in Korea. Within this context, this study analyzed the perceptions and needs of elementary school teachers regarding mathematics AI digital textbook. Based on a survey conducted in November 2023, involving 132 elementary school teachers across the country, the analysis revealed that the majority of elementary school teachers had a low perception of the introduction and need for mathematics AI digital textbooks. However, some recognized the potential for personalized learning and effective teaching support. Furthermore, among the core technologies of the AI digital textbook, teachers highly valued the necessity of learning diagnostics and teacher reconfiguration functions and had the most positive perception of their usefulness in math lessons, while their perception of interactivity was relatively low. These findings suggest the need for changing teachers' perceptions through professional development and information provision to ensure the successful adoption and use of mathematics AI digital textbooks. Specifically, providing concrete and practical ways to use the AI digital textbook, exploring alternatives to digital overload, and continuing development and research on core technologies.
