Abstract

The purposes of the study are to introduce and apply an activity that can help improve student-initiated learning on the TOEIC Speaking Test (TOEICST) performance and to see students' attitude toward the activity. Twenty-eight university students in Chungcheong province engaged in learning based on this activity. In the present study, the activity proposed by McCormick and Vercellotti (2013) and Stillwell, Curabba, Alexander, Kidd, Kim, Stone, & Wyle (2010) was modified and adapted[14][19]. The outline of the Task Recording Activity (TRA) consisted of three steps: preparation step, Task Recording Activity step, and evaluation step. As data collection of the study, a survey and students' journal were utilized and qualitatively analyzed. The results showed that student-initiated learning activity could be applied positively not only in communicative lessons, but in TOEICST specific lessons as well. Additionally, participants showed positive attitudes toward self-transcription and self-correction. Some implications of the study are that the TRA can be applied to generate autonomous learners studying for the TOEIC Speaking Test, that the guideline for different proficiency can be developed to help them improve their self-reflection, and that students need to have an active attitude to lead their own learning.

본 연구의 목적은 학생들의 자가학습을 기반으로 한 활동을 소개 적용하고, 이에 대한 학습자의 태도를 알아보는데 있다. 본 연구는 충청도 권에 위치한 A 대학교에서 실시하였으며, 총 28명의 학생이 참여하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 과업녹음활동은 McCormick과 Vercellotti(2013), Stillwell, Curabba, Alexander, Kidd, Kim, Stone과 Wyle(2010)의 활동을 수정 보완하여 제시하였다[14][19]. 과업녹음활동의 3단계는 준비단계, 과업녹음활동단계, 그리고 평가단계로 구성되었다. 연구방법으로 설문지와 학생저널이 사용되었고, 질적으로 수집, 분석되었다. 본 연구의 결과로 과업녹음활동은 의사소통 위주의 수업뿐만 아니라 시험기반의 토익스피킹수업에서도 적용가능하며, 학생들 또한 토익스피킹 과업 학습에 있어서 자가전사와 자가수정에 긍정적인 태도를 보였다. 본 연구의 시사점으로 시험기반의 수업에서 과업녹음활동은 학생들을 자기주도적인 학습자로 나아가는데 도움을 줄 수 있으며, 학생들의 영어능숙도에 따른 가이드라인을 제공함으로써 학습에 대한 자가성찰 활동을 발전시킬 수 있을 것이다. 이때, 학생들은 스스로의 학습에 대한 적극적인 태도가 필요할 것이다.
