초등 영어 교과서 이야기 자료를 활용한 교수ㆍ학습 모형 개발과 적용 효과

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a teaching and learning model using various story materials in 14 authorized elementary English textbooks on students’ English abilities and their affective attitudes towards learning English. For the study, a teaching and learning model was developed and implemented in a third grade class for 12 weeks. The students received lessons utilizing the stories during morning self-study class in school and did web-based self-directed study at home. The effects of the teaching and learning model on the students’s English abilities were investigated through pre and post tests, and those on the students’ affective domains were examined through pre and post questionnaires. In addition, learning journals, interviews, and teaching journals were collected to see the students’ responses to the activities included in the teaching and learning model. The results of the study show that the teaching and learning model using the various story materials in the elementary school textbooks had a positive effect on the students’ listening, speaking and reading abilities and it also increased the students’ interest and confidence in English. In particular, the story materials which were appropriate for the students’ level and the various online and offline activities seem to help the beginning learners of English to overcome anxiety about a new language and enjoy learning English.
