This study is to investigate the relationship between teaching and testing restricted on English listening comprehension processing. 726 listening activities in three textbooks of High School English and 80 questions in four nationwide English listening comprehension tests for high-school first grades were analyzed and classified into micro-skill categories of top-down, bottom-up and interactive processing. The results revealed that the tests put emphasis on the top-down processing in contrast to overemphasis of the textbooks on the bottom-up processing, whereas interactive processing took up a small portion both in the textbooks and tests. While the number of questions requiring bottom-up processing reduced in the tests, all the questions of bottom-up processing were focused only on one specific micro-skill, comprehending details. Further, despite diverse demonstrations of top-down micro-skills, each micro-skill question for top-down processing in the tests took some specific forms, which might lead students only to studying for preparation for the specific forms rather than for enhancing general comprehension abilities. Further pedagogical suggestions and implications for listening teaching were suggested.

The purpose of this study is to investigate some problems about College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT) on English listening and suggest its new approaches in the future. A survey, which was composed of 48 English teachers and 63 college students, was conducted to know about their opinions of the listening test. The results are as follows. First, the listening test is very important in learning English language, but it is not required to spend much time and efforts in listening class on account of its unvaried question pattern and lack of transferring into speaking ability. Second, the test should increase the number of the question and its total score. Third, it is necessary to provide the various questions related to the real life of English speaking countries implying not only linguistic knowledge but also non-linguistic knowledge like situation, socio-cultural background, and world knowledge. Fourth, sound phenomena may also be an important part in the listening test.

본 연구는 대학생 학습자들이 TOEIC 듣기평가에서 사용하였던 듣기전략의 남녀별 사용정도 의 차이를 살펴보았다. 이를 위하여 연구의 설문을 Bacon(1990)의 듣기학습전략을 참고로 하 고, Oxford(1990)의 듣기학습전략 중, TOEIC 듣기전략에 알맞은 28개의 항목으로 구성하였다. 설문을 2015년도에 모의 TOEIC을 치른 대학생 107명(남학생 25명과 여학생 82명)을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였다. SPSS(Statistical Package for the Social Science) 23 프로그램을 이용하여 대학생 남녀별 듣기전략의 사용정도 차이를 살펴보기 위하여 빈도분석을 구하였고 평균비교를 위해 평균과 표준편차를 구하였다. 그리고 TOEIC 성취도 집단 간의 평균의 차이를 검증하기 위하여 t-test(검증)를 실시하였다. 28개 항목에 대하여 기억전략, 인지전략, 보상전략, 상위인 지전략 그리고 정의적 전략 모두에서 상위집단과 하위집단을 가리지 않고 남자의 듣기전략별 사용정도가 여자보다 상대적으로 높았지만, 전략별 선호도의 순서도 비슷하였다. 다만 세부적 전략별로 남녀 간의 선호도의 차이가 있었고, 정의적 전략의 경우에는 하위집단에서 여자의 사 용정도가 남자보다 높았다.
