Abstract

The present study aims to investigate how Korean EFL learners' views of form-focused instruction, integrated and isolated FFI (form-focused instruction), are related to their beliefs about grammar and attention and how different these relationships are between high and low proficiency levels and between males and females in Korean college contexts. The findings indicated the participants' strong preference for integrated FFI, which was significantly correlated with two factors, attention in English class and English proficiency. On the other hand, the isolated FFI was strongly correlated with their beliefs about grammar learning, that is, independent learning of grammar and importance of learning grammar rules. In conclusion, the integrated FFI was associated with students' proficiency and attention, while the isolated FFI was related to their views of grammar learning. In conclusion, it is suggested that we need to use integrated FFI in Korean EFL contexts considering students' levels of proficiency and attention.

본 연구의 목적은 한국대학생의 통합과 분리 형태초점 교수법에 대한 견해를 조사하고, 이러한 견해가 집중도와 문법학습의 믿음과 어떠한 상관관계가 있는 지, 추가적으로 수준별 성별 차이점을 조사하는 것이다. 본 연구의 목적을 위해서 서울소재 대학생 157명을 대상으로 실시한 설문지 조사 결과를 상관관계분석과 T 검정을 사용하여 분석하였다. 참여 학생들은 통합 형태초점교수법을 선호하는 것으로 나타났으며, 통합 형태초점교수법의 선호도는 학습자의 영어 수업시간의 집중도와 영어 수준과 유의미하게 연관성이 있다는 것을 보여준다. 다른 한편으로 분리 형태초점 교수법의 선호도는 학습자의 문법에 대한 믿음과 유의미한 상관관계를 보여주었고 수준별 성별로 모든 학생들이 공통적인 결과로 나타났다. 결론적으로 통합 형태초점 교수법은 학습자의 집중도와 영어 수준에, 분리 형태초점 교수법은 학습자의 문법 학습에 대한 믿음에 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있다. 결론적으로 교실현장에서 통합 형태초점교수법을 사용할 필요하며, 이러한 접근도 학습자의 수준과 집중도를 고려할 필요가 있다는 것을 보여준다.
