With the spread of COVID-19, elementary education had to shift from traditional face-to-face education to online education. In a situation such as this, an English reading program could be one way to teach English effectively. The purpose of this study is to analyze relationships among self-determination motivation to learn, English self-efficacy, media-efficacy, self-directed learning ability, and learners’ participation rate in online English reading program. The survey participants were 154 elementary students who have taken part in an online English reading program for more than two years. The gathered data were analyzed by using the Structural Equation Model. The results of the analysis indicated that first, self-determination motivation to learn and English self-efficacy had significant effects on self-directed learning. Second, self-determined motivation to learn, English self-efficacy and media-efficacy showed a significant effect on leaners’ participation of English reading program, while self-directed learning ability did not. Third, self-directed learning ability had no mediation effects on the path between self-determined motivation to learn, English self-efficacy, media-efficacy and learners’ participation. Based on the result of the research, the study suggests that, to improve leaners’ participation of online English reading program, the basic factors which improve students’ motivation and English self-efficacy need to take precedence over the others.

This study investigates realities of teaching methods, teaching English in English, native English speakers, and differentiated classes in elementary English education. One hundred and twenty-five elementary English teachers in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do participated. Survey question items were distributed via the web. They chose communicative approaches as their main teaching methods, followed by audiolingual teaching methods, which has been a great change since 2005 (Boo, 2005). In terms of four skills in the textbook, a great portion of listening and speaking are covered while only a few of grammar and writing are covered. With regards to speaking, teacher-whole class interaction takes place the most, followed by pair work and then group work. As teaching English in English is perceived as effective, a lot of teachers uses English for around half of the class. Native English teachers are thought to be necessary but only a few schools have them at their schools. Native English teachers teach speaking classes, advanced classes, and listening classes. Around 75% of the participants were in favor of running differentiated classes with three different proficiency levels.

고등학교 영어 교과서의 수동구문 제시방법 분석에 근거한 문법 지도의 문제

원금숙(Won, Geum-Sook),이경남(Lee, Kyoung-Nam) 한국영어교과교육학회 2010 영어교과교육 Vol.9 No.2

The purpose of this study is to find effective ways of teaching the passive constructions by examining how they are presented and practiced in high school English textbooks and their activity books. When teaching grammar, we need to deal with the relevant grammar separately from the four language-skills to draw the learner's attention to the concerned grammar rules. However, the teaching methods should also be integrated with those skills in order to improve the learners' practical application. To help them understand the various usage of the passive, other passive auxiliaries besides the verb be need to be dealt with. The way of introducing passive constructions by transforming actives into passives and vice versa need to be treated very carefully since the meanings of passive and their corresponding actives are not always the same, and their functions are different in context. In particular, the passive construction can be effectively taught with consideration of the context or situation in which it occurs. Such an approach will help learners understand when and why a certain passive form should be used and help them apply the rules appropriately in a real situation.

이문복,신동광 한국영어교과교육학회 2015 영어교과교육 Vol.14 No.4

In September of 2015, the Ministry of Education of Korea announced the 2015 revised national curriculum of English in which the revised Korean Basic English Word List (KBEWL) is included. The present study attempted to examine how the KBEWL was developed by applying the three vocabulary selection criteria of ‘frequency’, ‘range’ and ‘familiarity’ to an 8 million word mega-corpus. The words making up KBEWL were selected and refined through a three-step process: 1) frequency and range, 2) familiarity, and 3) experienced English teachers’ heuristic. Through the comparison of the KBEWL with 10 other representative English word lists including the 2009 KBEWL in the text coverage, this study attempted to validate the effectiveness of the 2015 KBEWL. The results show that the 2015 KBEWL reflects the authentic use of the vocabulary very well as the existing representative vocabulary lists do. In addition, in the present study, several vocabulary regulations stipulated in the 2015 national curriculum of English were introduced. Lastly, some suggestions and educational implications were provided for developing an English word list in the future.

영문학 교육을 통한 영어능력 향상 방안 연구

박병주(Park, Byung-Joo) 한국영어교과교육학회 2010 영어교과교육 Vol.9 No.2

This paper aims to explore how to teach English literature at university for improving English proficiency. It is often said that teaching English literature does not have a vital influence on improving English skills. It is mainly because professors of English in Korea concentrate on analysing literary works in terms of literary theory and translating English text into Korean. According to recent research, literature is suitable for student-centered education. It is also suitable for a whole language approach by which four language skills can be developed at the same time. Given that the affective side of language learning contributes in a significant way to improving learner's language learning, I would like to propose the need for a humanistic approach based on affective side of learner in this paper. This paper shows that teaching literature based on affective side of learner is characterized by cooperative and interactional activities in their relation to such factors as self-esteem, autonomy, and motivation. This paper suggests the importance of not only cognitive approach but also affective approach through teaching English literature efficiently. Finally, in view of the use of short stories as language material the success of English education through teaching literature text depends on selecting literary text and effective teaching method. It is important to select a suitable text for increasing a learner's spontaneous pleasure in reading. Literary works written by major authors but not difficult for language learners are also recommended.

전영주(Jeon, Young-Joo) 한국영어교과교육학회 2010 영어교과교육 Vol.9 No.3

The purpose of this paper is to consider what the requirements are in preparing for the newly reformed English writing test on the English teachers’ employment exam and to present effective ways for the test using the combined style of peer-feedback and integrated written feedback in a process-oriented writing procedure. This survey was conducted on 33 pre-service teachers whose major is English education. The questionnaire consists of 23 questions covering areas such as awareness toward the new format of the test and the effects of integrated process-oriented feedback which involves meaning-focused and form-focused feedback by a peer group. The data, which was measured with frequency analysis, shows that the pre-service teachers are in agreement about the necessity of an English writing test and the effects of integrated feedback by a peer group. In addition, they suggest that a more systematic method to improve their writing skills be required, especially in the stages of planning and writing a first draft. Therefore, pre-service teachers should be provided with a more systematic and detailed writing program to improve their English writing proficiency as well as content knowledge about English education theories.
