The purpose of this research was to examine how Korean college students’ motivation toward English learning has been changed over time as they took technology-utilizing classes. In order to accomplish this, two research questions were proposed; First, how has the students’ motivation changed over the whole school year? Second, how has the students’ motivation changed in terms of their English proficiency levels? Sixty college students were required to take a simulated TOEIC test for their English proficiency levels, and to respond to the ARCS questionnaire developed by Keller (2008a, 2008b) to measure their motivation levels. An independent samples t-test was employed to compare the statistical means from the samples, specifically to find out the relation of students’ motivation and t he e ffect o f t echnology-utilizing c lasses. The r esults o f d ata analysis found out that the longer the treatment period of technology-utilizing instruction, the greater the effect on the learner’s motivation; second, the technology-utilizing instruction has a significant effect on the students’ motivation regardless of their proficiency levels, but it turns out to be more effective in improving the upper group students’ motivation toward learning. Based on these findings, practical implications for the implementing technology-utilizing instruction in the EFL classroom were suggested.

This study investigated EFL college-level learners’ expectation on and their experience in an online English-medium instruction (EMI) course focusing on how participants interacted with their classmates and the instructor in their online class (zoom session) based on assumptions and rationales of Interaction Hypothesis and classroom interaction research. Analyses of questionnaire, observation, and interview data revealed that participants’ experience of interaction and their perception of interaction opportunities in the zoom session were significantly related to how they would evaluate the course-taking experience. It was also found that cognitive strategy such as participants’ preparation for each class rather than L2 confidence was more relevant to their level of satisfaction with the course. Results of analyses suggested that an online class could be more effective than a face-to-face class in terms of engaging EFL adult learners in an academic course offered in participants’ L2, English. Based on study results, suggestions on how to increase interaction opportunities in online EMI course are made.

이 연구는 대학교에서 블렌디드 PBL 수업을 경험한 예비교사들의 수업경험에 대한 의미를 분석하고자 하는데 주 목적이 있다. 연구를 위해 G시에 소재한 K대학교 재학생 128명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였고 질적 연구를 위해 성찰일지, 연구자일지, e-class 탑재 자료 등을 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 연구결과 학습 자의 주요변인별 블렌디드 PBL 효과는 ‘문제해결 능력’, ‘협동학습 능력’, ‘의사소통 능력’, ‘자기주도학습 능력’, ‘학습동기’ 순으로 높게 나타났다. 또한 블렌디드 PBL 수업을 통해 ‘학습의 주체자로서의 뿌듯함과 의미 있는 활동’, ‘자기주도학습에 대한 성취감’, ‘유연한 사고 및 사고의 확장’, ‘자기이해 및 자신감 향상’ 등 긍정적인 경험이 이루어졌다. 이는 블렌디드 PBL 수업방법이 4차 산업혁명 시대의 미래를 주도할 인 재의 역량 제고와 깊은 연관성이 있음을 시사한다. 효율적인 블렌디드 PBL 수업을 위해 온·오프라인의 장 점을 극대화할 수 있는 수업설계, 학습자의 능동적 참여, 그리고 촉진자, 가이드로서의 교수자의 역할 등 이 더욱 요구되어진다. 이를 위해 블렌디드 PBL 수업을 적용하려는 교수자의 특성을 고려한 다양한 형태 의 지원이 충분히 이루어질 필요가 있다.

Jeju has been transformed into an international city and English has been a significant communication means in Jeju. Since English is essential for globalization, English education in Jeju has become the focus of public attention. The purpose of this study is to examine students' opinions about the effectiveness of college English instruction in the Department of Tourism English in Jeju. Subjects’ perceptions regarding the effectiveness of college English instruction were analyzed in this study. The data showed students generally agreed that native and Korean teachers’ team teaching is helpful (M=4.261), that the courses are practical and useful for the students' career development (M= 3.565), and that generally, English learning in the class is satisfactory (M=3.543). However, students disagreed with the idea that the English courses help students understand foreign cultures (M= 2.935).

The purpose of the current study is to present a class model of SQ3R instruction, which consists of 5 stages of reading strategy, Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review for foreign language learning and to investigate its effects on learners’ self-efficacy and their reading comprehension. Five reading steps of reading strategy were instructed associated with skill practices, annotating, note-taking and summary outlining. A total of 23 students in a college academic reading class participated in the study. Students’ self-selected academic reading materials were used for the course. Reading self-efficacy survey and the academic reading part of IELTS practice test were conducted before and after the instruction. Student products such as annotated texts and reaction writing as well as portfolios were collected and analyzed. The survey and academic reading test results indicated that the learners’ reading self-efficacy and their reading ability were improved and that the students seemed to have gained more confidence in academic reading.

This paper accommodates EIL(English as an international language) together with EFL in English pronunciation teaching and learning. In recognizing EIL, I suggest three strategic levels for phonological norms in assessing leaners’ pronunciation: the level P(phonemic) as a mandatory level to achieve, the level NLA(native language accent) as a cautious level to suppress the native accent, and the level TLA(target language accent) as a desirable level to accomplish a "native-like" accent. After probing the significance of each level, the paper addresses the issue of learning patterns depending on different proficiency levels, together with the effect of formal instruction. The sounds under investigation are English /l/, /r/, and /si/ for the level P, Korean Nasalization and Lateralization for the level NLA, and English /p, t, k/ for the level TLA. Two groups of local college sophomores served as experimental subjects, one as an intermediate group and the other as beginners group. The correctness rate for each level turned out to be the level TLA the lowest(14.21%～ 22.22%), the level NLA the next (49.37%～57.95%), and the level P the highest(66.47%～74.08%). The level TLA achieved the highest effect of formal instruction(13.30%), and the other two levels achieved less effect(5.69%～5.79%). In the level NLA, three factors that affect native interference are suggested: familiarity, syntactic distance, and the length of previous vowels. It is argued that the lowest correctness rate of the level TLA is less alarmimg than the low number indicates, while the level P is more demanding to overcome regardless of the highest correctness rate in regard to effective communication in English.

본 연구에서는 외국인 유학생을 위한 교양교육과정을 제안하 려는 목적으로 교양교육표준모형, 국내외의 AI 교양교육과정 개발 사 례를 고찰하였다. 또한 AI 교양교육과정의 교수법을 내용중심 접근방 법 중 보호된 내용수업 방법으로 운영하고자 관련된 이론을 살피고 이를 교육과정 개발에 적용해 보았다. 이를 위해서 교사는 제2언어 학 습자들이 이해할 수 있는 방법으로 내용을 제시하고, 적절한 수준의 난이도로 언어를 사용해야 한다는 점을 고려하여 교육과정을 구성하 였다. 또한 H대학에서 AI 교양교육을 받은 학생들을 대상으로 시행한 설문조사를 결과를 반영하여 다음의 세 가지 교육과정 개발 원칙을 수립하였다. 첫째, 학생들에게 한국어로 컴퓨터를 활용할 수 있는 능 력을 배양하도록 기회를 준다. 둘째, 인공지능 교육의 바탕이 되는 컴퓨팅적 사고력을 함께 배양하기 위하여 기초적인 코딩을 진행한다. 셋 째, 인공지능에 대한 개념을 이해하기 위해 개념 학습과 실습 수업을 병행한다. 이를 바탕으로 인공지능 교양 교육과정을 AI 기초와 데이터 분석 두 과목으로 구성하고 교육 내용은 인공지능 개념 학습, 한글로 작동하는 소프트웨어 학습, 인공지능을 적용한 실습, 응용학습의 4단 계를 1학년 1학기와 2학기에 걸쳐 학습하도록 하였다.
