Chung Jung-Seung. 1998. The Effects of Listening Strategies on Listening Proficiency in University Students. Studies in Modern Grammar 14, 321-347. This study aims at finding out what kinds of listening strategies Korean university students have in the English classroom It also investigates not only the differences between male and female students, between high and low groups of students, and among majors in the use of listening strategies, but also the relationship between listening strategy use and listening achievement in these groups of students. The analysis of data revealed several important things in the study of listening strategies. First, there existed seven factors of strategies: affective, metacognitive, cognitive, inference, self-management, selective attention, and comparison-repetition strategies. Second, among the seven strategies the affective strategies were most closely related to the rest of the strategies. Third, the most favored listening strategies by the Korean students were self-management strategies, while the least frequently used strategies were metacognitive strategies. Fourth, female students showed more frequent use of listening strategies than their male counterparts. Fifth, humanities students tended to use strategies more often than engineering and science students. Sixth, the high achievement group of students were found to use listening strategies far more significantly often than the low group of students. Seventh, the statistically significant relationship between use of listening strategies and listening achievement xisted between high and low groups of students. Finally, the study suggests some implications for teaching listening comprehension and some considerations for further research in listening strategies.

The masters program of the elementary music education in the national university of education has opened since 1995 in Korea. Only 3 national universities of education are offering this masters program and 4 more universities are to follow. Because this program is just at the beginning level, it is the time to present the idealistic elementary music education curriculum for the masters degree. The process of the development of the curriculum had 3 steps: first step was to compare all 7 masters programs of elementary music education; second step was to compare 4 American elementary music education curricula for the masters degree; third step was to draw the common elements from the comparison of the elementary music education curriculum between Korean and American. The results of the analysis are: 1) both curricula from two countries have 4 common courses of music education such as elementary music education, foundations of music education, research in music education, principles of music education or psychology of music education; 2) both curricula offer music performance, ensemble, music history or music theory. Thus, these courses are included into the idealistic elementary music education curriculum for master degree along with the Korean music education.
