영어 어휘 학습의 자기주도성과 ICT에 관한 고찰

Self-directed English Vocabulary Learning and ICT

The major purpose of this study is to explore an efficient framework for English vocabulary learning that can lead learners to a self-directed acquisition using ICT(information & communication technology). Currently, many students in Korea learn English vocabulary through teacher-centered classes and make little progress in expanding their vocabulary capabilities. To offer an alternative to those learners, this research proposed a framework for self-directed English vocabulary learning based on ICT that can help learners acquire effective strategies that can enhance their ability to increase English vocabulary. The enhancement of the English vocabulary learning skill is ensured by the concept of self-directed learning process. This concept enables the learners to promote their autonomous motivation and self responsibility for English vocabulary learning by self-directed learning environments. ICT can provide a learning environment suitable for promoting vocabulary learning skills. Learners can foster a keen interest and upgraded motivation to learn English vocabulary when absorbed in the ICT-assisted learning environment. ICT-based vocabulary learning might become a viable alternative to encourage output-based and learner-centered learning process.
