The purpose of this research is to introduce a new pedagogy for developing English education in the university. It is based on the favorable results of the application of Network English, which is a method that has been used in three classes at Y University for a period of one semester. Network English is a kind of integrated teaching method of offline and online education, and can be a learner-oriented educational method. The online aspect gives learners easier access to the text, regardless of time and place. And in addition to the characteristic of online itself, the various contents in conformity with the learning ability of learners are provided in the text, in order that the learners can get and maintain a desire for study without losing their interest in English. Although the offline part is not much different from traditional classes, the offline education can complement the deficiency of the online and also offer the learners the opportunity for questions and answers. From the results of application of Network English in three classes, the students were satisfied with the method and have more interest in English, which resulted in better grades.

Due to frequent international exchanges, there has been much emphasis on communication proficiency in foreign language education. However, when we look back upon teaching English in Korea over past years, we find that English teaching has been dominated mainly by Grammar-Translation Method, which makes teachers and students pay little attention to listening skill that is regarded as the basis of communication proficiency. Recently many English teachers have shown their interest in listening skill, so they come to use the textbook record tapes to improve listening skill. But listening training by textbook record tapes seems to make students feel bored. So the purpose of this study is to suggest an effective way of improving listening skill by means of Pop Songs that the students are indulged in. The processes of this study consist of three stages : 1) listening to songs, 2) explanation about structures and vocabularies in songs, 3) filling in blanks while listening. The subjects in this study are freshmen 88 students in girls' High School They are grouped into two : one is experimental group and the other control group. Among the subjects, the former have been taught by the lesson plan using pop songs, while the latter by the lesson plan using textbook record tapes. The experiment lasts about 9 months (from March to November, l994) The data for analyzing the study results have been collected from two kinds of tests : one is listening test and the other comprehensive test. The hypothesises of this study areas follows : 1) Depending on hearing materials (experimental material vs traditional material), there will be a difference in scores of listening skills between EG (experimental group) and CG (control group), 2) Depending on the interest on pop songs, there will be a difference in scores of hearing skills in CG, 3) Depending on hearing material. there will be a difference in scores of overall English skills between EG and CG, 4) Improvement in listening skill will give influence on the overall English scores. The findings of this study indicate that pop songs are effective to improve students' listening skill, that students' interest in the hearing material is important, and that listening skill is closely related to other skills, especially reading skill. It can be concluded that English teachers should make efforts to find the suitable listening materials which will help students to improve their listening proficiency effectively.

이 연구의 목적은 TED talk을 활용한 영어수업에 대한 대학생들의 인식을 알아보고 TED talk이 수업 재료로의 활용이 적절한지를 살펴보는 것이다. 교양영어 과목으로 50-60분간 한 학기 온라인으로 수업을 진행하고 학습자의 영어학습동기, TED talk 활용학습에 대한 학습 흥미도, 학습 태도, 학습 만족도, 학습효과에 대한 설문조사를 시행하여 수집된 자료를 PLS-SEM 모델을 적용하여 SMART PLS 3을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 영어학습동기는 수업 태도에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 미쳤다. 그러나 학습만족도에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 둘째, TED talk 활용 수업에 대한 흥미도는 학습태도와 만족도에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 학습태도는 학습효과 인식에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 넷째, TED talk 활용 수업에 대한 만족도는 학습효과 인식에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 결론적으로, 대학 영어수업에서 TED talk은 학습자에게 흥미와 만족도를 높이고 적극적인 수업참여를 유도할 수 있으므로 긍정적인 학습효과가 있으며 영어교육에서 활용할만한 가치와 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

The present study proposes a set of activities of teaching English reading through English newspapers to narrow the gap between the English required in authentic situation and the one taught in schools. Newspapers can provide students with opportunities to review what they have studied in the classes. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to investigate how extra-curricular activities using English newspapers have an influence on the development of the three low-achieving high school students' English reading ability. The five-month study yielded that the activities using English newspapers exerted positive effects on the students' interest in English and their English scores. It suggests that using English newspapers as teaching materials may be a desirable way both to motivate students to study English harder and to develop their English reading ability.

본 연구는 스포츠 관련 학과 대학생들의 영어와 스포츠 영어 수업에 대한 자기 인식 조사를 실시하고 이에 대한 분석을 바탕으로 효과적인 스포츠 영어 수업에 대하여 제안하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위하여 스포츠 관련 전공 4학년 학생 133명이 설문에 응하였으며 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 스포츠 전공학생들의 영어에 대한 흥미 정도는 비교적 낮았는데, 이 흥미도는 영어 실력이나 다른 항목들과 유의미한 상관관계를 보였다. 2. 스포츠 전공 학생들의 본인이 생각하는 본인의 영어 실력에 대해서는 대부분의 학생들이 영어 실력에 자신감이 없는 것으로 나타났고, 이는 흥미도와 관심도와도 밀접한 상관관계가 있었다. 3. 스포츠 전공자들에게 영어 학습이 필요하다고 생각하는 학생들이 많았는데 그 이유로는 '운동선수나 지도자로서의 영어 의사소통 능력'이 가장 많았고 '국제 스포츠 교류나 외교, 행정'이 그 뒤를 이었다. 또한 4. 일반적인 영어 수업과 차별화 된 스포츠에 초점을 둔 영어 수업이 필요하다고 생각하는 학생들이 많았는데 그 이유로는 '취업에 도움이 될 수 있을 것 같아서'와 '향후 전공 직무에 도움이 될 것 같아서'가 가장 많았다.

This paper examines the relationship between children's English proficiency in grade three and English learning environment and experiences before entering elementary school. In English learning environment and experiences, three influences consisting of children, home environment, and environmental influences of English learning are used to find out which influences contributed to children's English proficiency in grade three of elementary school. The result of this study shows that children with high interest in English have higher proficiency in all language skills reading, writing, listening, and speaking than that of children with low interests. For parents' influences, parents' high interests toward their children's English leaning and high monthly income result in children's high English proficiency. For English environmental influences, children who start at the early age and continue studying English have higher English proficiency.

Listening comprehension is an integrative and creative process of interaction through which listeners receive speakers' production of linguistic or non-linguistic knowledge. Improving listening comprehension requires continual attentiveness and interest. .Listening skill can be extended systematically only when students are frequently exposed to a wide range of listening materials with an affective, cultural, social, and psycholinguistic approach. Therefore, teachers should help students learn how to comprehend intactly the overall meaning of intended messages. Practical classroom teaching necessitates a systematic procedure in which students should take part in meaningful tasks and activities. This study purposes to investigate the effects of task-based listening comprehension instruction on improvement of EFL learners' listening comprehension and their attitude and interest. 74 freshmen who enrolled in College English conversation classes in Kongju National University participated in this study. The participants were administered listening comprehension tests and questionnaires. The results show that the listening comprehension instruction through tasks and activities has a positive impact on EFL learners' improvement of listening comprehension and their attitude and interest toward the target language as well.
