대학 교양영어 교육의 통합적 접근: 서울대학교 대학영어 프로그램의 사례 연구

Abstract

This paper aims to introduce a freshmen English course called College English at Seoul National University and to provide the overall evaluation of the course both quantitatively and qualitatively. The course was designed to improve students’ four skills in English in an intergrated way. In order to assess the effectiveness of the course, this study first examined several test results of the students who took College English in Spring, 2003. The tests used include both pre- and post-test results of a general English proficiency test (TEPS), an oral interview, and a writing test. The results show that the students made statistically significant progress in speaking, listening, and writing. The study also examined survey questionnaires collected from both the students and the instructors. The results show overall satisfaction from the respondents but they also indicated several areas that can be further improved. It is hoped that this study can provide a useful model for instructors and administrators of freshmen English courses in other universities.
