Abstract

Offline English Zone refers to a physical environment in which the learners can check the results while they practice speaking and listening in English, and look up the vocabulary and information on their own. However, offline English zone is inevitably dependent on limited and artificial environment and its operation is greatly limited in having to provide an environment in which the students can spontaneously experience role play in an artificial space set in a small-scale English village consisting of shopping, restaurant, and hospital zones. The purpose of this study is to analyze the problems of the environmental restrictions in educational methodology utilizing offline English zone programs. Moreover, based on the ubiquitous concept. It is to provide a strategy for utilizing online English zone programs which utilize multimedia tools, wireless internet, and SNS.

오프라인 English Zone이란 교실 내에서 학습자가 영어로 말하고 듣고, 알고 싶은 단어나 내용을 스스로 찾고 연습하고 그 결과를 확인할 수 있도록 만든 물리적 환경을 말한다. 그러나 제한적이고 인위적 환경에 의존할 수밖에 없는 오프라인의 English Zone은 쇼핑 존, 레스토랑 존, 병원 존 등의 소규모 영어 마을처럼 인위적인 공간을 설정하여 학생들이 자발적으로 Role Play를 체험할 수 있는 환경을 제공해야 하는 극히 제한적인 운영이 될 수밖에 없다. 본 연구의 목적은 이러한 오프라인에서의 English Zone 프로그램을 활용한 학습방법이 가지고 있는 환경적인 제한성의 문제점을 분석하고 유비쿼터스 개념에 기초하여 멀티미디어 도구 활용, 무선 인터넷 활용과 SNS를 활용한 온라인 English Zone 프로그램의 활용 방안을 제시하고자 한다.
