초록

This study investigated how Korean elementary students made meaning in English classes andthe learning activities they utilized in this process. The participants in the study were theteachers and students in four different elementary English classes. The data were collected bythe four teachers who voluntarily videotaped their classes. All classroom discourse from the fourclasses was transcribed. The lesson plans and the researchers’ notes from class discussion werealso collected. The study reliability was increased by triangulating the data, and the data wereexternally validated by exact transcription of the classroom discourse. The themes derived fromthe cross-case analysis revealed that the students in this study constructed meaning in L2 inmultiple ways: 1) by using L1 as a foundation; 2) chorusing pattern drills; 3) recalling learnedmaterials; 4) generalizing the meanings of words through visual aids; 5) making sentences withunscrambled words; and 6) using stories. The classroom activities were embedded in these sixdifferent themes. Discussion from these findings is provided.
