한국 대학생들의 영어 낭독속도와 영어말하기평가 채점요인들 간의 관계 = The relationship between Korean college students’English reading speed and the scoring features of an English speaking test

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examined the effects of a multimedia courseware on improving learners’ reading fluency and English speaking test scores. It also examined the relationship between reading aloud speed measured by means of the online English reading courseware and the scoring constructs of the speaking test. 49 Korean college students participated in the study for 15 weeks. They were asked to study the reading aloud program to improve their reading fluency and pronunciation. They were also given a pre- and a post-test of English speaking test to measure their speaking score improvement. The constructs were task completion, fluency, accuracy (pronunciation, language use, and grammar), and coherence. Two raters rated the test results. A post survey and interview were conducted to collect their perceptions of the program. The results showed that the paired t-test produced significant mean difference between the holistic and analytic test scores of the pre- and post-test. Mean difference of the participants’ reading fluency was also significantly different. However, there was no high correlation among the reading fluency and scoring constructs of the speaking test. The study’s implication is that the reading aloud program can be an effective tool to improve EFL learners’ spontaneous speaking competence.
