7차 영어과 교육과정 성취 기준의 적정성 연구: 말하기, 쓰기를 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the relevance of English learning standards based on the seventh National Curriculum in relation to English speaking and writing skills and to make some suggestions about the English learning standards. For this purpose, learning standards of speaking and writing skills of the current curriculum are examined against those of ACTFL, because these skills have been criticized for their excessively high levels, which most students may not reach through classes at school. The results of this study suggest that English speaking and writing learning standards for the sixth graders of Korean primary school be similar to those of ACTFL novice-mid, and for the first graders of Korean senior high school, ACTFL intermediate-mid. On the basis of the findings, a relevant model has been suggested. The present study expects to be followed by more research which will testify its adequacy through classroom applications of the suggested model.
