Abstract

This study was executed to be used as the basic data for the improvement of Korean Chinese undergraduates' English proficiency. Descriptive statistics and t-tests were used for data analysis on the differences between Korean Chinese and Han Chinese students' preparedness and learning outcomes of 203 undergraduates at a four-year college in China. Results showed that Korean Chinese students were significantly less prepared and had weaker learning outcomes than Han Chinese students. Analysis on the factors that affected learning outcomes showed significant differences in oral English skills, attitudes toward curriculum, beliefs in their own fluency, and learning strategies. On the other hand, no group difference was shown in learning interests. Based on these findings, implications for the improvement of Korean Chinese undergraduates' preparedness and learning outcomes in EFL class were described.

이 연구는 조선족 대학생들의 영어 실력 향상을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 시행하였다. 중국 소재 한 대학 203명을 대상으로 조선족과 한족 학부생들의 차이를 분석하고자 위해 기술 통계량 및 t-검정 분석이 사용되었다. 연구 결과는 한족 학생들에 비해 조선족 학생들의 준비성이 현저히 떨어지고 학습 성과도 약하다는 것을 보여주었다. 학습 성과에 미치는 요인들에 대한 분석은 영어 구술능력, 교과과정에 대한 태도, 자신의 영어실력에 대한 신념, 학습 전력에 있어서 그룹간의 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 반면, 학습에 대한 관심에 있어서는 그룹 간의 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구는 EFL 수업에서 조선족 대학생들의 수업 준비성 및 학습 성과를 향상시키기 위한 시사점을 제공하는데 그 의의를 갖는다.
