비교과 영어 프로그램의 효율성을 위한 교수자와 학습자의 인식 분석

Abstract

This thesis analyzes instructors’ and learners’ perceptions based on extra-curricular English programs in universities. The goal of extra-curricular English programs in universities is to maximize English competency by compensating for students’ inadequate ability to learn in regular courses. In particular, the process of learning from foreign instructors brings a sense of expectation different from that when learning from Korean instructors. Therefore, it can be said that perceiving and analyzing how much fluency and confidence in a foreign language (English) that learners gain through extra-curricular English programs taught by foreign instructors is, essentially, directly connected to the effectiveness of English learning in regular courses. I gauged the needs and levels of instructors and learners through an extra-curricular program for English free-talking with foreign faculty, “Star English”. The results show that the learning needs and levels of instructors and learners were very nearly the same. However, there was a difference regarding learning methods. If they recognize and compensate for the differences in their perceptions of learning methods, this can be a stepping stone to gauging how to implement extra-curricular English programs in universities to maximize learning competency.
