In this article, I discuss an International Collaborative Writing Course on the Internet (ICWCI) that focused on the learning effectiveness Korean EFL students (KEFLSs) perceived to be necessary to exchange with international EFL students (IEFLSs). The course development was based on an internet-based instructional module, applying widely accepted EFL theories for modern foreign language instruction: collaborative learning, process writing, project-based learning, and integrated approaches. Data from online discussion forum, mid-of-semester and end-of-semester surveys, and final oral interviews are conducted and discussed. KEFLSs and IEFLSs were questioned about (a) changes in attitude towards computers assisted language learning (CALL); (b) effect of computer background on motivation; (c) perception of their acquired writing skills; and (d) attitude towards collaborative learning. The result of this study demonstrated that the majority of ICWCI participants said they enjoyed the course, gained fruitful confidence in English communication and computer skills, and felt that they made significant progress in writing skills. In spite of positive benefits created by the ICWCI, it was found that there were some issues that are crucial to run appropriate networked collaborative courses. This study demonstrates that participants' computer skills, basic language proficiency, and local time differences are important factors to be considered when incorporating the ICWCI as these may affect the quality of online instructional courses and students' motivation toward network based collaboration interaction.

본 연구는 "가정과 논리 및 논술" 교과목의 운영 실태와 이 과목을 수강한 가정교육과 재학생의 인식을 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 전국 사범대학 가정교육과에서 개설된 "가정과 논리 및 논술" 교과목의 강의계획서를 수합하여 내용 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 설문지를 구성하여 사범대학 가정교육과에 재학 중인 학생 가운데 이 교과목을 수강한 학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 전체 응답자는 116명이며, SPSS/WIN 21.0으로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, "가정과 논리 및 논술"의 강의계획서 분석 결과, 교과목의 목표는 가정교육과와 관련된 다양한 주제에 대한 논리적 서술 능력 함양의 목표가 가장 많았고, 다음으로 논리적인 설득력 강화를 통한 가정과교사의 전문성 향상, 논리적 글쓰기 함양, 임용고사 준비, 그리고 학교 현장에서 학생들의 글쓰기를 잘 지도할 수 있는 능력 함양의 순이었다. 이 교과목에 대한 강의내용은 가정교과 세부전공 중심의 글쓰기, 일반적인 글쓰기 기초, 가정과 임용고사 준비, 논리논술 관련 이론, 가정과 교육 관련 최근의 이슈, 중등학교 현장에서의 논술교육 및 논술지도 방안의 순이었다. "가정과 논리 및 논술" 강의의 학습평가방법은 대개 출석, 시험, 과제, 토론 및 발표, 수업참여를 중심으로 제시되었으며 이 교과목의 과제는 모두 '글쓰기'였다. 둘째, "가정과 논리 및 논술"과목을 수강한 학생들의 인식 조사에서 강의목표에 대한 만족도가 가장 높았으며, 학습평가방법에 대한 만족은 가장 낮았으나 모두 4점 만점에서 2점 이상으로 나타나 수강생들은 이 교과목에 대해서 대체로 만족하였다. 셋째, 가정교육과 재학생들은 "가정과 논리 및 논술" 교과목이 논리적 비판적 분석 능력의 향상, 가정과교육 및 교육학 관련 글쓰기 실력의 향상, 그리고 자신의 생각을 정확하고 체계적으로 표현하는 능력의 향상이 도움이 되었다고 하였다. 이 교과목 수강 시 어려운 점에 대하여 글쓰기 연습이 가장 어려웠고, 다음으로 잦은 토의 및 토론활동, 모호한 학습평가방법 기준, 빈번한 발표, 교수자의 피드백 부족, 과도한 과제, 어려운 강의내용 순으로 인식하였다. 결론적으로, "가정과 논리 및 논술" 교과목은 논리적 비판적 사고력을 키워 가정과교육에 대한 이해를 넓히는 것을 목표로 하는데, 조사결과 본 교과목은 비교적 목표에 잘 부합되게 운영되고 있었다. 다만 교과교육학영역에 '논리 및 논술에 관한 교육'이 신설된 이후 임용시험 유형도 논술형으로 바뀌면서, 학생들은 이 교과목에서 임용시험을 대비할 수 있기를 기대하고 있다. 따라서 "가정과 논리 및 논술" 교과목의 특성과 목표를 유지하면서 학생들의 임용시험 준비에 대한 요구를 제대로 반영하여 이 교과목에 대한 운영을 보완하여야 할 것이다.

This study investigated how pre-service English teachers perceive the effects of machine teaching on their English writing competence. 35 Korean students who are majoring in English education participated in this study. The participants used machine translators for one of the required courses related to English composition. A survey and focus group interview were conducted at the end of the course. They were asked to answer to what degree they perceive the effects of machine translators on their writing in terms of lexical, sentential, and discourse levels. Furthermore, their perspectives on the effects of machine translation on English teaching including limitations of machine translators, were interviewed in more detail. The results show that the participants perceive machine translators quite positively in terms of improving their writing competence, but they also point out some critical limitations of machine translators. These findings have some pedagogical implications for English writing course instructors, English teacher educators, and program developers.

This research intended to find the desirable orientation of writing education for students majoring in science and engineering. The survey was conducted to investigate the experience and perception of writing of 268 students majoring in science and engineering. Also students who relatively had more writing experience were selected for focus group interview in order to have an in-depth understanding on survey. Finally, the two investigations were combined to find the implication of education of writing for students. The results of the research are as follows. First, the students of science and engineering who participated in the research not only had a relatively insufficient writing experience, but lacked enough education opportunity on systematic writing. The satisfaction of the writing subject was directly affected by the quality of writing instructor and, feedback of the writing and writing process. Second, the students who participated in the research went through various difficulties in their writing process, but the efforts in trying to figure out the cause of the difficulties were relatively insufficient. Third, the students of the research perceived and agreed on the importance of writing and writing skills. They insisted needs of writing exercise, thought exercise for writing, accurate feedback in writing course.
