Abstract

The purpose of this study was to understand language learning strategies use, language learning beliefs, and listening achievement of Korean EFL learners. The participants was sixty-nine university students who enrolled in blended learning classes for English listening. Data was collected and analyzed to see if there were any differences in strategies and beliefs between students who improved their listening test score and those who did not. The results showed that students showing improvement at the post-test used more language learning strategies and had a high level of motivation. Statistically significant correlation was found between motivation and strategies such as cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies.

이 연구의 목적은 블렌디드 러닝으로 듣기 수업에 참여하는 대학생들을 대상으로 영어 듣기능력이 향상한 학생과 향상하지 않은 학생들 사이에 언어학습전략 사용과 언어학습믿음에 차이가 있었는지를 알아보고 듣기성취와 언어학습전략, 언어학습믿음 사이에 관계가 있는지 조사하는 것이다. 이를 위해 69명의 참여자들은 언어학습전략과 언어학습믿음 설문에 응답하고, 사전 사후 듣기 시험을 보았다. 요인분석으로 추출된 요인을 이용하여 성적이 오른 집단과 오르지 않은 집단의 차이를 분석한 결과, 두 집단 사이에 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 영어 듣기능력이 향상된 학생은 언어학습전략을 더 많이 사용하고 있었고, 언어학습믿음에서 더 높은 동기를 갖고 있었다. 동기에 대한 믿음이 높은 학생들은 인지전략과 초인지전략을 더 많이 사용했다. 이 연구는 학습자의 학습믿음과 학습전략 중 영어 듣기능력 향상에 영향을 주는 요인을 제공하여 콘텐츠 개발과 교수법에 기여할 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
