Textual Enhancement and Learner Preference in the Learning of English Articles

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The current study investigated how learner preference would affect learning outcome in the learning of English articles through textual enhancement. Three learning types for developing English articles were presented in the survey, and comparisons were made between groups on their performance through the pretest and the posttest in the form of the grammatical judgment test. The results suggest that there were significant differences in the overuse of the and a(n) between the pretest and the posttest of some groups. Specifically, those who prefer ‘textual enhancement’ for their learning of English articles reduced their deletion ratio in the posttest more than the rest groups did. The findings suggest that textual enhancement, a kind of implicit teaching/learning method, may be beneficial for some students, but not those who prefer more explicit explanation.
