Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of English integrated instruction on the 6th grade Korean elementary students' English ability using science animation. Twenty-seven students took English integrated instruction before their regular class for 10 minutes while the other students took review activity instead of it. At first, the students were asked to take the sixth grade diagnostic evaluation sponsored by C office of education in 2018 as the pre-test and ten months later, they were asked to take the first grade diagnostic evaluation of middle school sponsored by C office of education in 2017 as the post-test. Results of the study showed that the English ability and the affective attitude of the students taking English integrated instruction were improved. These results suggest that English integrated instruction can contribute to the improvement of Korean elementary students' English ability.

2015 개정 교육과정의 궁극적인 목표는 창의융합형 인재육성이다. 본 연구에서는 과학 애니메이션을 활용한 영어 융합 수업을 통해 초등학교 6학년 학생들의 영어 듣기와 읽기 능력(이하 영어 능력)이 얼마나 향상되었는지를 검증하고자 하였다. 실험반(27명) 학생들은 영어수업 시작 전 융합수업을 받은 반면 통제반(28명) 학생들은 그 시간에 전 시간에 배운 수업을 복습하였다. 실험 시작 전, 2018년 3월에 C 교육청에서 실시한 초등학교 6학년 진단평가를 통해 동질집단인 것을 확인하였고 10개월의 실험기간 종료 후 2017년 3월 C 교육청에서 실시한 중학교 1학년용 진단평가를 통해 학생들의 영어능력 향상 여부를 알아보았다. 실험 결과, 융합수업을 받은 학생들의 영어 능력이 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 뿐만 아니라 실험 전 후 영어학습에 대한 정의적 태도에 관한 설문조사 결과, 흥미도와 자신감 측면에서 향상이 있었음도 확인할 수 있었다.
