학습자 중심의 초등영어교사교육

김재혁(Kim Jae hyuk) 영상영어교육학회 2002 영상영어교육 (STEM journal) Vol.3 No.1

Recently learner-centered teaching has been in vogue especially in the area of elementary English education. This may be the reason that the 7th National English Curriculum directs considerable attention to learner-centered teaching, and each of the national English textbooks in elementary schools has a variety of learning activities and tasks aimed at two levels: intensive for fast learners and supplementary for slower learners. Thus there seems to be a strong consensus of opinion among ELT researchers and teachers that we should teach English in a learner-centered way, taking the wants and needs of the leaners into account. It must be pointed out, however, that very little attention has been paid to how we educate teachers so that they can teach English in a learner-centered way. Considering this, the aim of this paper is to suggest a model of, and some theoretical basis for learner-centered elementary English teacher education. To this end, the problems our current elementary English teacher education often faces were looked at in terms of learner-centered education. This paper also investigated the TESOL programs offered in the major universities in the USA.

The present study investigated the effects of a shadowing activity using movies on Korean EFL college students’ speaking skills and their affective attitudes. Over a semester, a total of 138 students participated in the study and they were assigned to an experimental group (n = 71) and a control group (n = 67). According to language proficiency, the participants in the experimental group were assigned to advanced, intermediate, and beginner-level groups. Over a semester, all the experimental groups engaged in a shadowing activity once a week while the control group participated in a traditional speaking activity. To collect data, both 1) pre- and post-speaking tests and 2) pre- and post-questionnaires on affective attitudes were conducted. The results showed that the shadowing activity is more effective than the traditional speaking activity in terms of increasing speaking proficiency. In addition, there was a statistically significant improvement in speaking proficiency of both the intermediate and beginner-level groups while there was no statistically significant difference in the advanced level group’s speaking proficiency. Furthermore, the shadowing activity significantly improved the confidence, interest, and motivation level of the experimental group. Based on the findings, it is suggested that this shadowing activity using movies can be an effective tool to develop EFL learners’ speaking skills and improve their affective attitudes.

성지희(Sung Jee hee) 영상영어교육학회 2008 영상영어교육 (STEM journal) Vol.9 No.1

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effectiveness of the use of movie clips in helping EFL students enhance their speaking competence through creative drama. Movie videos and DVDs have been an important part of the EFL learning environment. Movies have been a valuable and dynamic language learning tool which offers contextual and visual clues to students and develops learner motivation. Students are asked to watch a selected movie clip with the sound track off and they act out the scene. Based on the given movie clip, they are asked to create and develop a series of related scenes by using their own imagination. They are also asked to act out the scenes and the script which they create. A survey questionnaire was developed and administered to analyze students' responses toward the use of video clips in Screen English classes. The findings of the study are discussed and can be helpful for English teachers in designing their own effective speaking activities by using the movie clips. Pedagogical implications based on the findings are also suggested.

임희주(Im, Hee-Joo),박성만(Park, Seong Man) 영상영어교육학회 2021 영상영어교육 (STEM journal) Vol.22 No.1

COVID-19 impacted traditional learning methods and academic institutions in the world, with a large number of schools and universities choosing to close and starting to run online classes as an alternative. This switch to distance learning led both students and educators to develop their own opinions based on their own perspectives. The purpose of the study is to examine university professors’ perceptions on their online classes and to provide some suggestions about them. To that end, a total of seven professors belonging to the College of Liberal Arts in D university participated in a qualitative online survey. The findings of this study are as follows. First, the primary advantage of online classes was the flexibility of time and location for both students and professors. Second, the professors mentioned that the main disadvantage of online classes was the lack of interactions with students. Third, the professors utilized a wide range of online tools such as PowerPoint, EverLec, Zoom, Google Hangouts/Meet, Screencastify, and Camtasia for online (a)synchronous classes. Lastly, the professors suggested reducing the number of students per class, developing assessment tools, and providing administrative support in order to improve future online classes. This study provided some suggestions to educators and administrators responsible for the online education system.

미국영어의 호칭어에 관한 연구:폴리와 함께 에 등장하는 FN호칭을 중심으로

옥종석(Ok, Jong-seok) 영상영어교육학회 2015 영상영어교육 (STEM journal) Vol.16 No.1

The purpose of this study is to analyze address terms of American English with a focus on addressing others using FN. The data has been collected from the movie Along Came Polly, which includes various situations of ordinary American life. The results show that the most common form of address in America is FN, which accounts for 71% of all address terms. There are two other variants of FN: FN-G (FN-Generic) and FN-D (FN-Diminutive). FN-G is an FN-substituting ordinary noun with generic meaning. It accounts for 16% of addresses, using such nouns as dude, guys, and man. FN-D is a diminutive FN, which accounts for 9% of the terms used. Three of these FN terms are almost exclusively used to address others in most conversations in the movie. Other terms for forms of address are TLN (Title + Last Name) and KT (Kin Title) like Mom and Dad. However, their use is fairly restricted, accounting for only 4% of total occurrences. It was also found that reciprocal FN is the most common form of address in ordinary conversations. Korean students should be prepared to be able to employ proper address terms suitable for the purpose of communication if they plan to go to countries that speak American English.

대학 수업에서의 유튜브 동영상 활용: 영어신문기사의 배경지식을 중심으로

박영란 영상영어교육학회 2017 영상영어교육 (STEM journal) Vol.18 No.1

This paper focuses on how YouTube video clips are used to equip students with background knowledge when reading English newspaper articles about various global issues. It is assumed that the students could understand the articles adequately by building background knowledge about them before reading. With this assumption, this paper raises four key questions. First, are students more responsive to visual than to text-based materials? Second, do students perceive that background knowledge to an article is essential to understanding the content? Third, do YouTube video clips offer appropriate background knowledge about the articles? Fourth, how do students evaluate each YouTube video clip? 34 university students majoring in English participated in this research. Based on t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analyses of their questionnaires, four distinctive findings have been identified. First, visual materials provided better cues than verbal explanations when the students attempted to understand difficult vocabulary items. Second, the students recognized the importance of background knowledge for understanding the content. Third, the students’ evaluation was that the YouTube video clips played a significant role in providing background knowledge for the topics chosen. Fourth, the students understood the articles more comprehensively after watching selected YouTube video clips.

관련성 이론에 근거한 영한 영상번역 분석

정인희(Jung In Hee) 영상영어교육학회 2008 영상영어교육 (STEM journal) Vol.9 No.2

This paper is an analysis, based on the theoretical framework of Relevance Theory by Sperber and Wilson, of English-Korean translation focusing on the song, 'Do-Re-Mi' from the movie, The Sound of Music (1965). It advocates relevance-oriented research in investigating characteristics of problem solving and decision making processes in translating English films into Korean. Film translation is an act of communication between screenwriters and the target audience. Film translators should reveal the screenwriter's intention as much as possible so that the target viewers can easily understand the genuine meaning of the content with minimal processing effort. In this study, three translated versions of the song, 'Do-Re-Mi' are chosen: TT1, TT2 and TT3. Each version is translated by different translators. Through comparison and analysis, it is shown through Relevance Theory that TT1 and TT2 are translated more adequately than TT3. In the movie, Maria intends to teach the basic musical notes to children effectively by using easy vocabulary from real life. Her intention is translated more accurately and smoothly in TT1 and TT2 rather than in TT3. This paper shows conclusively that optimal relevance is achieved only when appropriate translation strategies are applied.

음성다중 영화가 학생들의 영어 청해에 미치는 영향

이태형(Lee Tae Hyung) 영상영어교육학회 2001 영상영어교육 (STEM journal) Vol.2 No.2

Although movies are excellent instructional tools for EFL listening comprehension training thanks to the abundant real context as an authentic material, intermediate EFL students sometimes find them too difficult. This pilot study explores the possibility of using movies with an English soundtrack and Korean dubbing on domestic TV for improving listening capacity of Korean students. A group watched a movie with both an English soundtrack and dubbed Korean while the other group watched an English soundtrack movie. After viewing, both groups were asked to fill out missing words in sentences from the movie. The Korean dubbing group was asked to complete questionnaires before and after the test to assess their attitude toward the material. Statistical analysis revealed that more correct English words were filled after watching the bilingual movie than after watching the English soundtrack movie. Unlike the case with closed captioned (CC) movies, both the advanced and intermediate students benefited from the Korean dubbing. From this study, it can be assumed that listening to the dubbed Korean did not distract students' listening processing since they were hearing their mother tongue. Students reported that the Korean dubbing bolstered their listening comprehension. This investigation demonstrates that bilingual movies can be a 'comprehensible input' for Korean students and they have an immense educational potential as do CC movies.

영어 비판적 사고신장을 위한 융합식 모형과 존엄사 영상자료 활용

김영서 영상영어교육학회 2011 영상영어교육 (STEM journal) Vol.12 No.1

The purpose of this study is firstly to investigate models of instruction from the perspectives of critical thinking skills in teaching English as a second language. Three basic models: generic, immersion and infusion are studied. A review of the literature indicates that the generic model does not succeed in promoting transfer across domains. It does, however make abstractions clear to students. The immersion model does succeed in raising the level of understanding of critical thinking skills. It makes no attempt to promote transfer across domains. The infusion model appears to succeed not only in raising students interest in ideas but also in promoting transfer across subject domains. The second purpose is to suggest teaching methods on the subject of euthanasia. Suggestions are made according to pre-critical thinking, while-critical thinking and post-critical thinking.
