Purpose - This study investigated the effects of lectures in the English medium (EML) on understanding and learning outcomes. Sixty percent of EML lectures in Korea also use Korean for further support. Thus, this situation needs to clearly distinguish the specific impacts of the EML classes on learning outcomes. Here, we use the same English materials, including PowerPoint slides and video content, given in the Korean and English lectures. The difference between the lectures becomes only whether the lecture is delivered in Korean or English. Thus, we can clearly identify whether the language difference makes any difference in learning outcomes. Research design, data, and methodology - Our sample consisted of 91 students taking an international business course the spring of 2015. All course materials, including textbooks, PowerPoint slides, exams, video, and support content, were presented in English. Survey data and exam results were used. Students filled out their student identification number and name, so we could match the surveys against the exam results. Results - First, results show that whether the lecture was delivered in English or Korean was an important factor when students chose the class. Second, English proficiency related to international business and general English levels were higher in the English class than in the Korean class. However, the understanding of key concepts and reading abilities of international business newspapers were the same for students in both classes. Third, teaching materials and lectures were the most important material for the understanding of key concepts in the business major. Fourth, the exam results showed no difference in performance of the students in the English versus the Korean class. This shows that EML classes were not necessarily detrimental to the understanding of major concepts of the lecture. Thus, it is important that researchers carefully design empirical settings to study the effectiveness of EML. Conclusions - The English lecture can be as helpful for enhancing knowledge in the business major as the Korean lecture. For further research, various English lecture forms can be considered to distinguish the effects of the English lecture.

본 연구는 Keller의 ARCS 동기모델을 비즈니스 전공영어 수업에 적용하여 ARCS 모델이 학습동기와 학업성취도에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 조사하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 2018년과 2019년 2학기에 비즈니스 전공영어를 수강한 경영학 전공 27명 학생들을 대상으로 이루어졌다. 학습동기와 학업성취도를 분석하기 위해 설문조사와 필기시험 결과가 사용되었다. ARCS 모델을 적용한 실험집단과 전통적 강의식 수업이 이루어진 비교집단의 결과는 비즈니스 전공영어에 ARCS 모델을 적용한 교수·학습법이 학습 동기유발 요소인 주의집중, 관련성, 만족감, 자신감을 향상시키는 데 효과가 있으며 비즈니스 영어와 비즈니스 내용 두 영역의 학업성취도 향상에도 효과가 있음을 보여주었다. 본 연구는 학습자 수가 적은 비즈니스 전공영어 수업에서 ARCS 모델이 긍정적 효과를 나타낼 수 있음을 보여준 한 사례가 될 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to identify stresses and adjustment elements of Chinese students in Korea. The data analysis was conducted by qualitative method based on interviews with sixteen Chinese students as a focus group by the help of two interpreters. The results were as follows: first, stresses of Chinese students were from 'cultural difference', 'language', and 'financial', 'educational' and 'psychological stress', and 'university culture in Korea'. Those categories were divided into several sub categories. Second, ten helpful elements Chinese students could adapt themselves to Korean university life were such as 'Help of Korean professor and friends', 'Chinese friends' help', 'English-oriented lecture', 'Cultural affinity to Korea', 'Fluency in Korean language', 'Integration to Korean culture', 'Pride in Chinese culture', 'Individual effort', 'Satisfaction with educational environment', 'Perception of self-growth'.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of instructors' utilization of the reserve collection in the university library. To accomplish this, an experiment-and-questionnaire study was done by selecting an experimental group for whom the teaching method utilizing the reserve collection was used and a control group for whom the method was not used. An experimental group and a control group studied were as follows: (1) Students take the 'Comparative Politics' course in the Department of Political Science. (2) Students take the 'History of 'English Literature' course III the Department of English Language and Literature. The data to test the hypothesis were analyzed by SPSS/PC+ routine. The results are as follows: (1) There were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in academic achievement(T(228)=6.69, P<.01). To investigate the difference in effect by major, the one-way analysis of variance was employed. According to the results, there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group In the Department of Political Science and the Department of English Language & Literature. Therefore, students for whom the teaching method utilizing the reserve collection was used have higher academic achievement than those for whom the method was not used. (2) As for the degree of utilizing the library and its materials, there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group(T(228)=8.87, P<.01). As for the results of the one-way analysis of variance to investigate the difference in effect by major, there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in both departments. As for the degree of utilizing library catalogues and bibliographical tools, there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group(T (228)=8.55, P<.01). As stated earlier, the one-way analysis of variance to investigate the difference in effect by major has shown that there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in both departments. As for the degree of sincerity in doing homework and writing papers, there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group(T(176)=8. 03, P<.01). To investigate the difference in effect by major, the one-way analysis of variance was again employed. According to the results, there were again significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in both departments. So, the students for whom the teaching method utilizing the reserve collection was employed used library catalogues and bibliographical tools much more than those for whom the method was not employed, and were more sincere in doing homework and writing papers. (3) There were also significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in degree of satisfaction in taking the course (T (228) = 6.61, P<.01). The results of the one-way analysis of variance to investigate the difference in effect by major was that there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in both departments. Therefore, the degree of satisfaction of students who were taught by the teaching method utilizing the reserve collection is higher than that of those who were not taught by the method. On the other hand, the responses of the experimental groups of two departments as to the degree of satisfaction with their teaching method was investigated. The result shows that students who took the 'Comparative Politics' course in a small class which employed the seminar method were higher in degree of satisfaction with the teaching method than students who took the 'History of English Literature' course III a large class which employed a lecture-oriented teaching method.

공학교육의 도입부에 직관을 활용하여 학습자의 흥미를 유발하고, 단순한 수식의 전개와 그를 활용한 문제풀이 중심 교육에서 벗어나 개념의 내용을 반복적으로 구술하고 수식을 유도하는 과정에 물리적 개념을 적용하여 쓰게 함으로써 전문대학 학습자의 학습효과를 증진시키는 방안을 모색하였다. 또한, 프로젝트 수행에 있어 학습자 스스로 주제를 선정하고 학습한 내용을 적용하여 일정에 맞추어 보고서를 제출하고 교수자는 각 모둠별로 우수한 보고서를 선택하였다. 각 모둠의 모둠원은 역할 분담을 통해 우수 보고서에 대해 발표하는 과정을 거치면서 조직원으로서의 역할을 익히도록 하였다. 이를 통해 학습자의 성적이 향상되고 일상생활에서 경험하게 되는 물리현상을 역학과 연계할 수 있게 하며, 초급설계자로서의 역량을 제고하고자 하였다.
