한국 대학생의 영어 듣기 능력 신장을 위한 모바일기반 플립 러닝 모델의 적용과 효과

The implementation and effectiveness of mobile-assisted flipped learning model for the improvement of Korean university students’ English listening ability.

The aims of this study is to investigate the implementation of a flipped learning model and its effectiveness in an English listening class. The participants were 111 university students in TOEIC listening courses and divided into three groups; control group with no treatment (CON), paper-based flipped learning group (EXP-1), and mobile-assisted flipped learning group (EXP-2). Three consecutive listening tests and semi-structured interview were conducted to examine students’ listening skill improvement and their perceptions on mobile-assisted flipped learning. The results are as follows. First, the students of the CON and EXP-2 groups attained significantly high-level of listening ability than the EXP-1 group. Second, there was statistically significant interaction between different teaching methods and time flow, and the CON and EXP-2 groups showed gradual improvements while the EXP-1 group was rather less than beginning. Third, students in the EXP-2 group showed positive perceptions towards preparation tasks outside the classroom and constructive learning activities inside the classroom. Based on these findings, this study concluded that flipped learning model possibly offered great benefits for English listening classroom because it allowed students to have abundant language inputs beforehand and engage in collaborative learning activities in actual class time. Pedagogical implications and suggestions are presented.
