The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Korean Culture Lessons (KCL) presented by Korean pre-service teachers as part of an overseas teacher training program at an American elementary school and an American university’s summer camp for children. Surveys were conducted, and the results from 163 American elementary school students and 22 pre-service teachers were examined. The data analysis showed there were statistically positive responses to KCL from American elementary school students and Korean pre-service teachers. KCI made American elementary school students understand K-culture better and become more interested than before. The satisfaction with KCL was also high among Korean pre-service teachers as well as American elementary school students. There were differences in grade levels of American elementary school students in their pre-Korean understanding, subsequent satisfaction with KCL and interest in K-culture after class. The higher the grade of elementary school students is in the USA, the more positive benefits they seem to receive in various areas from KCL. (162 words)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the English educational implication and socio-educational influence of the Peace Corps who served in Korea in the past. Peace Corps service was separated by three different time periods in the study: From 1966 to 1981, from 1982 to 2010, and from 2011 to the present. The first period is the time period that the Peace Corps officially served in Korea. The second period is the time period that the Peace Corps who remained after 1981 personally served in Korea. In the third period, there have been two of representative services: Activities of‘Friends of Korea’in America, and partnership of Korea with America for international development assistance. The study results revealed that English education was always at the forefront of the Peace Corps service and the Language Laboratory Association which became the forerunner of KATE had a positive influence on the Peace Corps service to effectively take root in Korean English education. The difficulties of the Peace Corps service at high schools in the beginning stopped their service there and moved their service to middle schools, universities, and other areas such as science education, health and tourism.

This study examined undergraduate students’ perceptions of effects of online course types such as face-to-face classes, online classes, and blended classes using survey data from 331 students during three semesters from 2020 to 2021. There were differences in effects using ‘PPT video’, ‘voice only in PPT’, and ‘real-time zoom’ between theoretical courses and practice courses. In terms of media types for online classes, ‘PPT video’ was perceived as the most effective type by students, followed by ‘voice only in PPT’, ‘real-time video’, and ‘blended media use’ meaning a 2-hour-course mixed with 1-hour PPT video and 1-hour-real-time video. The effectiveness of ‘real-time video’ and ‘blended media use’ was gradually decreased as time went by. Students had difficulties in academic achievement and daily life with online learning. They were eager to return to face-to-face classes after COVID-19 passes. Some online learning media types were preferable to use for face-to-face classes after COVID-19.

This paper aims to examine whether m-Learning is more effective than e-Learning in developing the communicative competence of EFL learners and to investigate the possibility of a difference in effect depending on the level of students within Chungdahm Learning Institutes (CDI) throughout the country. The blended language learning programs developed by CDI were called e-Learning (Blended Learning 1.0) and m-Learning (Blended Learning 2.0). The goals of e-Learning are to enhance each student’s foundation of learning English related to the written English, and to offer practice times to write stories, essays or summary activities related to the topics dealt with in offline classes. The goals of m-Learning are to enhance each student’s foundation of learning English related to the spoken English and to offer students the opportunity to present logical opinions or summaries orally related to weekly topics dealt with in offline classes. In the study, the scores of 1,380 students who enrolled in Blended 1.0 and Blended 2.0 programs and took the pre- and post tests in various regions across Korea were used to examine the effects of the two programs on students’ achievement. On the whole, the achievement of students in m-Learning was higher than that of students in e-Learning. The students of intermediate and low levels benefited more than those of high level by m-Learning. This study gives some educational implications to program experts who develop the blended language programs and apply them into formal as well as private education.

강후동 팬코리아영어교육학회 2004 영어교육연구 Vol.16 No.2

The goal of this study is to provide a model for implementing portfolio assessment in college English education. Since models for performance-based instruction are lacking in Korean English education, this study insists this model be easily applied at the college level where the student learning process can be more easily evaluated than secondary schools. This study provides a framework for portfolio assessment to overcome its existing weaknesses in reliability and validity with online support. The framework includes online support for students to easily access to native speaker models with the easily editable and documentable digital image processing. This paper concretely presents a model of web productions that helps students’ listening and speaking practice while implementing learner-centered and process-oriented portfolio assessment. In this study, the self- assessment and peer activity assessment helped students not only improve their ways of speaking presentation, but also build their confidence in speaking in front of others.
