Abstract

This study is investigating the effectiveness of a blended learning for English listening and reading class by analyzing students' learning behavior. To this end, two surveys were conducted on a total of 75 students from the two different classes of Academic English Listening and Reading course. The research results showed that in the online class, the students built undesirable learning behavior such as solving listening quizzes by reading listening scripts or watching the instructor's lectures about the scripts and completing the assignment of summary of the scripts by referring to the Korean versions. In the offline class, the students' participation in group activities and attention to lectures was good. Therefore, it can be concluded that because of the students' poor online learning behavior, this blended learning was rather not effective. So the suggestions are discussed to enhance the effectiveness of the blended learning for English listening and reading.

본 연구의 목적은 영어 듣기와 읽기 수업을 위한 블렌디드 러닝에서 학생들의 학습행태를 파악함으로써 그 교육적 효과를 진단하는 사례연구이다. 연구대상은 Academic English Listening and Reading 과목을 수강했던 75명의 학생이며 연구도구는 2차례 실시한 설문이다. 연구 결과 영어듣기를 위한 온라인 수업에서 학생들은 스크립트를 보거나 교수 동영상 강의를 보고 듣기 퀴즈를 풀고 있었으며, 예습의 역할을 하고 있는 스크립트 요약 과제의 경우 번역본을 찾아보는 등의 바람직하지 않은 학습행태를 형성했음을 알 수 있었다. 반면 오프라인 수업에서 학생들은 조별활동에 성실하게 참여했으며 교수 해설 강의에 잘 집중하는 모습을 보여주었다. 따라서 학생들의 바람직하지 않은 온라인 수업의 학습행태를 감안할 때 이 블렌디드 러닝은 면대면 수업에 비하여 교육적 효과가 떨어진다고 판단되었다. 이에 이러한 부정적인 학습행태를 개선하기 위한 해결책들을 논의하였다.
