This study proposes learner participatory activities for learner-centered college liberal arts classes. In addition, it analyzes learners' perceptions of and satisfaction with learner-centered classes and identifies the issues that must be considered when planning learner-centered activities for college liberal arts classes. The study used a learner-centered participatory activity in which participants created a 4-cut cartoon addressing a specific theme. An open-ended questionnaire was administered to identify learners' attitudes about and satisfaction with the learner-centered classes. It showed that most learners (87.5%) were highly satisfied with the 4-cut cartoon creation activities in the learner-centered participatory class. Learners identified the burden- free nature of the class activities, the fact that they improved their understanding of class content, and that they were fun (not boring) as the main reasons they found the class activities satisfying. In liberal arts English classes, more diverse participatory class activities should be developed to arouse interest and motivation of learners and encourage learners' participation.

This study focuses on the flow of story and content or related context when using movies as learning materials in a class. A great advantage of using movies is that they have a consistent story and detailed content development. Most teachers, however, tend to concentrate on practical expressions totally unrelated to the story or context of the movie they are using. This way might be efficient in the short run but it is certain that the expressions are unlikely to be retained in long-term memory. This study examines how a story-centered class influences learning of practical expressions and how efficient this approach to learning is. Learning and teaching with focus only on the expressions in a movie shades the meaning of the use of the movie a little. In this study the movie, Cars 2, was used in a course of general education with 150 students enrolled. Various group activities were suggested to immerse students into the story and contents of Cars 2. It was found that a story-centered class is helpful for students to acquire practical expressions and that students' satisfaction level with the class was high.

PBL(Problem-Based Learning)에서 가장 중요하며 학습자들의 창의성 및 문제 해결 능력을 성공적으로 이끄는 열쇠는 문제 개발하는 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 PBL 수업을 효과적으로 운영하기 위해 문제 개발 절차를 구체화하고 초등학교 영어과학 수업에 적합한 PBL학습의 문제를 개발하는 것이다. 본 연구에서 문제 개발을 위해 교육 내용 파악 단계, 학습자 특성 파악 단계, 문제 발견 단계, 역할과 상황 설정 단계, 문제 작성 단계로 요약할 수 있다. 이와 같은 문제 개발 단계를 바탕으로 Y 초등학교에서 시행되고 있는 영어 교과 과정 중 하나인 영어과학 수업에서 PBL 학습법이 적합한 주제를 선정하여 5개의 문제를 개발하였다. 여전히 많은 영어 교육 현장에서 이루어지고 있는 교사 중심 수업, 모범 답안을 위한 지식 습득, 획일적인 평가가 아닌 21세기 급격히 변화하고 있는 사회에 반드시 요구되는 창의적 사고, 문제 해결 능력, 발표력, 자신감, 자기 주도적 학습 능력, 협동심, 의사소통능력 향상을 위해 PBL 학습법에 적합한 문제 개발은 지속해서 연구되어야 한다.
