The purpose of this study is to help the students in middle school improve their English listening comprehension by presenting effective teaching and learning techniques using animation. A good animation provides a self-contained world with language expressed in a virtual context. A few animation such as "Mulan", "The Emperor's New Clothes", and "Gulliver's Travel" are presented. The materials are primarily for English listening comprehension, enhance awareness of American culture and life-styles, and to encourage students' active role in learning English. It is suggested that their use with content-based instruction, where animation provides relevant schema background, makes language relevant and comprehensible. Practical aspects of classroom instruction are discussed, focusing on the adaption of pre-viewing, while-viewing, and post-viewing activities to the selected animation. It is concluded that careful animation selection, purposeful lesson planning, and the integration of pre-viewing, while-viewing, and post-viewing activities into the content-based lesson encourage natural language skills, especially the listening comprehension and students' interest in English.

This study examined how well Korean undergraduate students perceived linked or clear English speech and attempted to find areas of difficulty in their English listening caused by phonological variations. Thirty nine undergraduate students participated in listening sessions. They were divided into high and low groups by their TOEIC listening scores. Samples of linked speech included such phonological processes as linking, palatalization, flapping, and deletion. Results showed that the students had more problem perceiving linked speech than perceiving clear speech. Secondly, both the higher and the lower groups scored low on the linked speech. The lower group had more score difference between linked and clear speech. Thirdly, the students' scores increased from the speech with flapping, through deletion, palatalization, to linking. Finally, there was a strong positive correlation between their TOEIC listening scores and the perception scores. Further studies would be desirable on the level of improvement of TOEIC scores by training the students' listening ability using the linked speech.

This study attempts to provide a comprehensive framework for listening strategy use among university students in Korea in relation to TOEIC listening scores. In particular, this study tests whether motivation, based on the self-determination theory, mediates listening strategy use on listening comprehension (LC) process and whether reading comprehension ability moderates the use of listening strategy in LC achievement. One hundred seventy six freshmen students participated in the study during their first semester required English course. Self-report questionnaires were used to assess students' motivation and LC strategy use. The responses were statistically analyzed via the moderator and mediator model. The results indicate that internalized motivation mediates the use of listening strategy in LC achievement; however, reading comprehension skill doesn't affect students' use of listening strategies in relation to listening skill achievement. In other words, students who have internalized motivation were able to utilize listening strategies effectively in terms of achievement of the TOEIC listening skills. The findings of the current study offer in-depth understanding of the relationship among use of LC strategies, intrinsic motivation, and listening skill achievement shared by the mediator and moderator models.

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.

This paper is to help the students in elementary schools develop and improve their English listening and speaking skills by presenting effective teaching and learning techniques using puppetry. It is absolutely obvious that listening and speaking are very important skills for most EFL students. Using puppets in the classroom is a creative English teaching technique which can involve authentic, communicative language situations. Moreover, puppets appeal to children and can aid in lowering affective filters thereby creating a more comfortable learning environment. The study clearly showed that using puppets is feasible and enjoyable in elementary English classes. However, caution must be exercised in drawing and generalizing conclusions from this experience. The results of the experiment are as follows: First, using puppetry in the English class was found to have positive influence on students' affective domains (interst, attitude). Second, using puppets in the English classes was found to be efficient for improving students' English listening and speaking skills. Third, appropriate materials should be selected and well thought-out plans should be made to be successful English class using puppetry. Perhaps the most interesting line of future research is to use qualitative research to examine the effect of this technique on the teacher variable. Further research is recommended, especially on using puppetry for speaking proficiency and creating affectively comfortable learning atmospheres.

Korean students with much exposure to the relatively slow and clear speech used in most English classes in Korea can be expected to have difficulty understanding the casual style that is common in the everyday speech of English speakers. This research attempted to investigate an effective way to utilize casual speech in English education, by exploring the way different speech styles (clear vs. casual) affect Korean learners' comprehension of spoken English. Twenty Korean university students and two native speakers of English participated in a listening session. The English utterances were produced in different speech styles (clear slow, casual slow, clear fast, and casual fast). The Korean students were divided into two groups by English proficiency level. The results showed that the Korean students achieved 69.4% comprehension accuracy, while the native speakers of English demonstrated almost perfect results. The Korean students (especially the low-proficiency group) had more problems perceiving function words than they did perceiving content words. Responding to the different speech styles, the high-proficiency group had more difficulty listening to utterances with phonological variation than they did listening to utterances produced at a faster speed. The low-proficiency group, however, struggled with utterances produced at a faster speed more than they did with utterances with phonological variation. The pedagogical implications of the results are discussed in the concluding section.

This study explores the effects of phonological awareness instruction with phonetics on listening comprehension and speaking. For the test of measuring the improvement of listening comprehension, two nationwide listening comprehension tests were used for pre-test and post-test. To find out the improvement of speaking ability, students were required to take the Level-3 NEAT speaking tests. There was a notable correlation between phonological awareness instruction with phonetics and listening ability. Also a significant correlation between phonological awareness instruction with phonetics and speaking ability was found. The group with phonological awareness class with phonetics received higher scores in listening and speaking test than the group without phonological awareness class with phonetics in the post-test. This study implies that phonological awareness class with phonetics is helpful for the improvement of listening and speaking ability. With this research, we can also say that students' communicative competence increased.

현 한국의 영어 듣기 학습은 자연적 노출 환경에서 보다는 조용한 인위적 환경에서 주로 이루어지고 있기 때문에 학습자 주위의 다양한 소음이 들어가거나 초분절적 요소가 가미된 자연적 발화 환경에서의 듣기 능력은 현저히 미흡하다. 본 연구의 목적은 자연적 노출 환경으로서 영어 광고를 활용하여 학습자들의 발음과 듣기의 융합 활동을 중심으로 영어 듣기 능력 향상에 긍정적 영향을 주고 있음을 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구는 A 대학교 교양 영어 수강자 40명을 대상으로 영어 듣기 능력 평가를 위해 토익 Listening Comprehension 테스트를 사전과 사후 비교 분석하였고 흥미도에 대한 설문조사를 실시하여 사전 사후의 결과를 비교하였다. 흥미도 테스트를 위한 설문 24 문항은 박선희(2003)의 설문 내용을 토대로 하여 연구자가 본 연구에 맞도록 재구성 하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 영어 광고를 통해 자연스럽게 발음하고 들을 수 있는 융합 활동으로 영어 학습에 흥미를 통한 동기유발로 토익 듣기능력 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다.
