번역 과제 발표 중심의 대학 영작문 수업에 관한 연구 = A study on a college English writing course centering on translation assignments and student presentations

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study reports on a college expository writing class which consists of student presentations based on a translation assignment. In each class, a student assigned in advance gave an oral presentation in English on part of an essay translated into English from Korean. The Korean version of the essay used for English translation was translated from an English essay. The presentation compared a presenter's English translation with the original English version, focusing mainly on differences in the linguistic features of writing such as grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary. Since all the students in the class should complete the same translation assignment before class, they were quite familiar with the content of each class, which in turn led to active classroom discussions. The questionnaire and interview results showed that the translation assignment and classroom activities of presentation and discussions made a great contribution to boosting the students' overall writing proficiency and, in particular, the accuracy of writing. Irrespective of fulfilling the intended goals of the class, some weakness and problems of the class were identified. Several suggestions were to ameliorate them.
