As the growth of learners of Korean for academic purposes, it is necessary to carry out researches on KAP for them. Therefore, this study demonstrates the effect of taking lecture with effective strategies for basic and important need.
Hereupon, the research examines on note-taking strategies among various skills to take effective lecture and observes the following consequences.
The first purpose of the research task is figuring out the influences of note-taking strategies on learners of Korean for academic purposes. The second purpose is to find out the effect of the training of note-taking strategies on the learner’s lecture comprehension. Finally, this study looks into the effect of note-taking strategies for a student’s schoolwork achievement through essay writing tests.
In order to verify those hypotheses, a syllabus that consists of note-taking strategies was made and the teaching materials were also developed. Moreover, various materials were also made such as video lectures equivalent to a general education course of a university, a descriptive examination for schoolwork achievement, and a comprehension test for appropriate inspection.
For the study, 17 foreign students who are in the 5th or 6th grade in Korean class were selected and were divided into two groups: one was an experimental group and the other was a controlled group. In performing the research, 3 different kinds of materials were gathered for each group: (1) the pre-and the post-note-taking, (2) the pre-and the post comprehension tests, and (3) the pre-and the post descriptive tests.
The results of the experiment are as follows.
First, the note-taking of those two groups was analyzed through the completeness score and efficiency ratio. This analysis showed that there was the significant difference of student’s note between two group's note-taking score in the post- experiment. In addition, there was the meaningful difference in comparing the score changes in the pre-experiment and the post- experiment.
Second, according to the result of the comprehension test, the strategic training for note-taking in the experimental group affected on the experimental result. However, as a result of the analysis, the pre-and the post score changes between the experimental and the controlled groups, there was no significant difference statistically. It means that the strategic training for note-taking does not affect positively on the learner’s apprehension, yet it is caused by the improvement of the post-test for comprehension test of the controlled group and the short period experiment.
Third, as the consequence of the strategic training effect through descriptive assignments strategically, there was the significant difference between the pre- and post- score changes in the experimental group. However, the meaningful difference was not discovered between the pre- and the post- score changes and the post-score between two groups in the comparison. Although there was no significant difference in statistics between two groups, it seemed that the score changes in the pre- and the post- test had been improved in the experimental group in contrast to the controlled group. When it is considered that the significance possibility by the score in the post-test and the score improvement between the pre-and the post-test had been lowered remarkably, it is hard to say that there would be no relevance on the effect of training.
This study contains some of significant meanings that it has been the first research focused on only note-taking in Korean education, it has been tried to prove the effect of strategic training through experiments, unlike many existing lecture-taking strategic researches, and it is able to be applied practically in the Korean language education field.
