초록
본 연구는 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 40대 이상의 영어 학습자를 대상으로 중년과 노년으로 구분하여 평생교육에 대한 연령 집단별 태도와 인식을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 2020년 5월 20일부터 2021년 6월 30일까지 경북지역에 소재한 평생교육기관에서 연구 참가자 80명을 대상으로 인구통계학적 특성 및 영어 학습에 대한 흥미, 필요성, 열정, 이점, 저해요인, 학습동기, 선호하는 과목과 학습방법을 설문조사하였다. 그 결과, 노년 학습자들이 중년 학습자들에 비해 보다 긍정적인 영어 학습 태도를 보였고, 학습동기와 선호하는 과목에서는 두 그룹 모두 의사소통 영역을 중요하게 여기는 것으로 나타났다. 영어 학습에 대한 저해요인으로는 영어에 대한 자신감 부족과 함께 연령에 따라 상이한 어려움이 조사되었고 선호하는 학습법에서도 차이를 보였다. 본 연구는 노년 학습자의 긍정적인 학습 태도에 따른 학습 성과의 가능성을 제시하였고 연령에 따른 세분화된 영어 프로그램 설계의 필요성을 시사하고 있다.
Abstract
This study investigated the English learners who are over 40 on their attitudes and perception for lifelong education by dividing them into age groups of middle aged and elderly learners. To this end, from May 20, 2020 to June 30, 2021, 80 participants attending lifelong education centers in North Gyeongsang province were surveyed on the demographic characteristics and interest, necessity, passion, advantage, hindrance, learning motivation, preferred subjects, and learning methods. As a result, it was found that elderly learners showed a more positive English learning attitude than middle-aged learners, and both groups considered the communication area important in their learning motivation and preferred subjects. In regard to hindrance toward English learning, different factors were shown according to the age groups along with lack of confidence in English. Differences were also shown in preferred learning methods. This study suggested the possibility of learning outcomes according to the positive learning attitude of elderly learners along with the need for detailed English program design according to learners' age.
