다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a small-sized “customized” English conversation instruction on undergraduate university students’ communicative competence. The research was conducted at S university in Korea, where a three-week “customized” intensive English conversation program was provided to 38 participants. For this research, paired t-test analysis was carried out to compare the result of the pre-and post-program mock TOEIC and TOEIC Speaking results. Also, paired t-test analysis was used to compare the results of the survey that was designed to find out the changes in the participants’ attitude towards oral performances in classes. Finally, Pearson Correlational analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the participants’ level of participation and their level of program satisfaction. The results of the study strongly suggests that the small-sized, customized instruction had significant impact on the participants’ communicative competence and attitudes toward oral communicative performances in English.
