초록

본 논문은 온라인 문법체커에 대해서 살펴보고 영어쓰기에 있어서 온라인 문법체커 활용 시에 유의해야 할 점에 대해 제언을 하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 충청도에 있는 D 대학교에서 2019년 2학기에 실시하였으며 총 35명의 대학교 1학년 학생이 참여하였다. 본 연구 자료 수집을 위해서 사전 · 사후의 문법 테스트와 설문지 그리고 학습저널이 수집되었고 분석되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 영어문법 테스트 결과 온라인 문법체커는 영어쓰기수업에서 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 학생들은 온라인 문법체커에서 제공되는 피드백 무조건 받아들이기 보다는 스스로 판단하여 수용을 하거나 하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 온라인 문법체커에서 제공하는 피드백 중 (부정)관사, 전치사, 문장부호, 동사 수의 일치, 명사수의 일치 순으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 시사점과 제한점을 토론하였다.

The purpose of the study is to examine online grammar checkers and suggest when they could be used in English writing classes. The study was conducted in the second semester of 2019 at D University in Chungcheong-do, with a total of 35 first-year students participating in the study. For data collection, pre and post grammar tests, questionnaires, and learning journals were collected and analyzed. The results of this study are as follows. First, based on the results of the English grammar test, the online grammar checker was found to be effective in English writing class. Second, students judged whether accepting or not rather than accepting feedback provided by online grammar checker. Third, among the feedback provided by the online grammar checker, the order of (in)definite article, preposition, punctuation, verb number, and noun number were found. The several implications and limitations of this study are discussed.
