교양영어 TOEIC 수업에서 수준별 학습자의 토익에 대한 인식과 태도

TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) is used as an important criterion to meet graduation requirements, and to get into government organizations and major companies these days. Under the circumstances, Korean universities need to help their students improve their TOEIC scores. As part of these efforts, this study was designed to find out the perceptions and attitudes of Korean university students towards TOEIC, and understand the relationships between those and their TOEIC scores. For the purpose of the study, a set of questionnaire was used to collect the data. The research was implemented for 16 weeks with 99 university students. These students were divided into two groups according to their TOEIC scores: one group with the TOEIC scores above 500 and the other with the scores below 500. The results showed that there were statistical differences in four categories between the two groups; perceptions of TOEIC, interests in TOEIC, self assessment of TOEIC, and strategies for TOEIC. However, there were no statistical differences in two categories between these groups; perceptions of TOEIC score and their efforts to improve their TOEIC scores. According to the results, this study suggested some meaningful implications for University TOEIC classes.
