온-오프라인 통합 시스템을 활용한 초등학교 영어독서교육 사례 연구

This study investigated the effects of extensive reading program with on-off blended library system at a school scale. The students from Grades 1 to 6 of a primary school took part in the reading project, where they read books they chose from the English library and filled out the online quiz. They joined offline reading programs such as book talking, book report, or debating. Parents were given training to help their children free voluntary reading at home. The comparison of about 1,200 students’ pre- and post-SR levels and AR points shows that there were significant differences after the implementation of the program. The questionnaire results reveal that the majority of students, teachers and parents agreed that the blended extensive reading program has a positive effect upon learning English. The analysis of students’ and parents’ logs also support the positive effect of the extensive reading. It was found that the blended reading was conducive to free voluntary reading and self-directed learning. Some suggestions are proposed for the effective implementation of reading systems at the whole school level.
