다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of the present study was is to investigate the effectiveness of using student response systems (SRS) on grammar learning for college students and their perspectives on the treatment. Seventy-five freshmen enrolled in a required course in the spring semester of 2018 underwent English grammar learning with or without the student response system, Socrative and Kahoot! for one semester. Pre- and post-test structures were conducted, and all the data included in the two surveys were analyzed after the experiment. The results revealed that there were significant differences between the pre- and post-tests in all three groups. Concerning the effects of using SRS, no significant differences were found between the non-SRS group and the two SRS groups in terms of learning grammar. However, a favorable perception of the integration of the student response systems in grammar learning was found according to the qualitative analysis. The perceived advantages and disadvantages of SRS on mobile devices were also discussed. It can be concluded that employing SRS such as Kahoot! and Socrative is effective in improving learners' participation and interests, and it motivates students to learn grammar. Pedagogical implications and future studies will be discussed.
