Due to the development of technology even in learning and education area, many studies have begun to make a new attempts to research by using SNS, breaking away from traditional learning methods. However, the limitations of these studies are restricted only to the use of wireless Internet and writing on Web sites. This study aims to conduct a research on English learning activities that utilize various technologies such as Bigdata, Facebook, Social Network Services (SNS) and English applications. In addition, this study looks into how these modern technologies can be integrated in the classrooms and which activities can be applied in the English classroom. This research is to suggest effective English learning methods through a thorough investigation on the effectivity of various technologies based on the Web 2.0 such as Flickr, blogs, MySpace, and online discussion board within the context of the English learning. To verify the effect of the study, the subjects are divided into experimental and control group. The experiment is proceeded with pre- and post-test. The experimental group is designed to verify the effects using SNS tools such as Facebook, Bigdata, and Online Massive Learning. A survey is conducted to determine the preference of utilizing social networking sites and to analyze the effects in class. The result is that the average scores for experimental group have improved more than the average of control group. The comparison of pre and post-test of the experimental group shows that the significance of the higher and median group was statistically significant at the p<0.01.

This study examines correlations between affective variables and English learners' achievement in native teachers' classes. Specifically, it aims to study the relationships among Korean college students' English learning motivation, anxiety, WTC (willingness to communicate) and their English achievement scores. For the purpose, the questionnaire surveys were conducted, and the students' English scores were analyzed and compared. The participants were 216 university students taking the general English courses as a requirement for graduation. The results indicated that although the students had high level motivation to learn English, especially for social reasons, their WTC in and outside the classroom was low. Also, unlike the previous studies on foreign language anxiety, their anxiety level was not significant. Anxiety and motivation were negatively correlated; WTC and motivation were positively correlated. However, according to the regression analysis, the explanatory power of the three affective variables was not significant for the students' achievement scores. Several possible reasons and some pedagogical implications are provided in the conclusion.

This paper analyzed the effect of using a content-based English textbook in teaching English to Korean college students. The textbook reflected the recent trend in EFL/ESL development that subject matters should be taught as part of the language instruction. The analysis of the questionnaire survey conducted to college students at the end of the semester revealed an encouraging result that this new type of ELT college textbook is effective in helping Korean college students prepare for learning their subject areas through English. Based on this positive outcome, a suggestion is made that the current general purpose college English teaching curriculum be shifted toward a content-based specific purpose type to accommodate the increasing demand of learning subject areas through English in colleges in Korea.

This paper is to introduce assorted features of a four-week English Immersion Program managed by Hongik English Language Institute for the first time in summer 2000. The program was aimed to provide English learners with the English simulation environment where everything was supposed to be English only. Thus being exposed exclusively to the English surroundings the clock around, the learners who had not had enough opportunities to use the language were able to attain a high motivation for speaking English, which eventually led to the increase of their general English language proficiency. Presenting merits and demerits of the curriculum and the overall management of the program, this paper plays a role in directing the program in a more improved way for the future and giving guidelines to other institutes where similar programs are under consideration.

본 논문은 영시를 통한 대학 교양 영어 교육의 필요성과, 구체적인 교육 방안을 모색하고, 로버트 프로스트의 「꺼져라, 꺼져라-」를 중심으로 구체적인 교수법 모델을 제공한다. 영시는 학습자 중심의 영어 교육이 중시되고, 읽기, 말하기, 듣기, 쓰기 4영역의 통합 학습 과정이 중시되며, 전공 공부와 취업으로의 연계를 목표로 하는 대학 교양 영어 수업에서 중요한 텍스트가 될 수 있다. 영시의 시각적 이미지, 리듬, 라임, 반복 등의 시적 기교는 언어에 대한 암기 학습 능력 향상과 음성, 구어적 능력 향상과 밀접한 관계가 있기 때문이다. 또한 본 연구에서는 수능 영어에 익숙한 국내 대학교 1학년 학생들에게 가장 적절한 시 선정 기준을 제시하고, 읽기 전 활동, 읽기 활동, 읽기 후 활동으로 나누어 교수법을 제시한다. 그리고 이러한 교수법이 3시간 수업의 대학 교양 영어 수업에서 어떻게 구체적으로 적용될 수 있는지 프로스트의 「꺼져라, 꺼져라-」를 중심으로 제시한다. 그리고 이러한 '탈 활자적' 텍스트를 통한 영어 학습이 학습자 중심의 지속 가능한 학습 모델이 될 수 있다는 점을 밝히고자 한다.

Teachers' beliefs about teaching English are reflected in their practices in the classroom. They influence on the students' attitude to English learning. Any teacher training program expects the trainees to change or modify their existing beliefs and attitude through the new ideas and information introduced by the program toward a desired direction. The present study describes a teacher training program for elementary school English teachers and compares the beliefs of the teachers about teaching English before and after the training. The subjects are the elementary school English teachers around Chungnam area who get a special training of 120 hours during January 1997. The investigation of the subjects' beliefs on English teaching is conducted through examining two journals of each subject before and after the training. The journals show the teachers' inner flow of thought, so teacher trainers are expected to get insight on their general instructional considerations and have implications on the future teacher training program through examining these journals. In addition, the journal writing itself gives the teachers opportunity to reflect their practice and rethink about their beliefs, and develop themselves as professional English teachers.

This study examined which acoustic cue(s) that Korean learners of English give weight to in perceiving English lexical stress. We manipulated segmental and suprasegmental cues in 5 steps in the first and second syllables of an English stress minimal pair "object". A total of 27 subjects (14 native speakers of English and 13 Korean L2 learners) participated in the English stress judgment task. The results revealed that native Korean listeners used the F0 and intensity cues in identifying English stress and weighted vowel quality most strongly, as native English listeners did. These results indicate that Korean learners' experience with these cues in L1 prosody can help them attend to these cues in their L2 perception. However, L2 learners' perceptual attention is not entirely predicted by their linguistic experience with specific acoustic cues in their native language.

본 연구는 코로나 사태로 인한 비대면 교양 영어 수업에서 영화 대본 소리 내어 읽기가 유학생들의 영어 능력에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 서울 소재 대학에 다니는 유학생 47명을 대상으로 일주일에 한 번, 15주간, 애니메이션 라푼젤(Tangled)을 이용하여 교양 영어 수업을 진행하였다. 교사의 동영상 수업과 영화 대본 소리 내어 읽기 활동을 격주로 진행하였다. 교사는 쉬운 한국어로 영화 대사의 어휘 설명 및 해석으로 동영상을 제작하여 학습 관리 시스템(LMS)에 게시하였다. 학생들은 소리 내어 읽기 활동은 줌을 통해 교사의 도움을 받으며 개인별 및 조별 소리 내어 읽기를 하였다. 사후 평가에서 사전 평가 대비 읽기와 쓰기 영역 모두에서 유의미한 향상을 보여주었다. 설문에서는 이해도, 만족도, 흥미도, 추천도의 정의적 측면에서 긍정적인 결과가 나타났다.

본 연구는 고등학교 영어교육에서의 영어 다독 지도 방안을 연구하기 위해, D 광역시에 소재한 두 개의 인문계 고등학교를 방문하여, 본 연구자가 영어 다독에 대한 소개와 수준별 읽기 도서를 고등학생들에게 직접 체험하게 한 후, 영어 다독에 대한 고등학생들의 인식을 조사하였다. 또한, 중학교뿐 아니라, 고등학교에서도 자유학기제가 확대됨에 따라 영어교사들의 영어 다독 수업에 대한 요구가 증가하였다. 이러한 배경을 토대로 자유학기제에 활용 가능한 영어 다독 수업 모형을 개발하고자 했다. 본 연구에 참여한 고등학생 35명은 영어 다독에 대한 안내 및 체험 후, 다독 중심의 영어 독해 공부를 시도해 보고 싶은 생각이 있다고 밝혔다(91.4%). 도움이 된 다독 체험 요소로는 '다섯 손가락 원칙'과 '수준별 도서 목록'을 들었다. 영어교사들과 이루어진 인터뷰에서 교사들은 자유학기제에 활용 가능한 영어 다독 수업 모형에 대한 개발 요구를 피력했다. 본 연구는 고등학교에서 실제 이뤄지고 있는 수행평가 중심의 영어 다독 수업과 더불어 자유학기제에 활용 가능한 도서관 활용 다독 수업 모형을 제안하고자 한다.
