Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference of learners' preference for animation movies in EFL English classes. In this study, four classes of 124 college students that participated in the English screen class employed an animation, Alice in Wonderland. This study examined the different activities of three categories of pre-study, while-study, and post-study. First, on the analysis of studying activities of 15 items, the results showed meaningful differences depending on the students' gender. That is, female students were more interested in mostly all of the activities, while male students' interests were skewed to some post-study activities. Second, comparing the differences of studying interest among the three groups, the low group is more concerned with the pre-study activities, while the higher group is generally interested in the while studying and post-study activities. Third, on the analysis of correlation between the three level groups and activities, the results indicated meaningful differences in some activities. In summary, based on the results of this research, it is necessary to consider the learners' variables and focus on the learners in the English screen class. Further, teachers should apply these results to the management of their screen class and to the development of teaching materials.

본 논문은 영어를 외국어로 학습하는 한국 대학생 124명을 대상으로 하며, 애니메이션을 이용한 영어 학습에 대한 선호도를 학습자 변인 별로 차이가 있는지를 알아보았다. 즉 학습자의 흥미도를 고려한 애니메이션을 선정하여 학습을 진행한 후에 학습 전, 학습 중, 학습 후의 학습 활동 선호도를 학습자의 성별과 영상 학습 관심 정도와 비교하였다. 또한 학습자의 흥미 정도와 각 문항들과의 관계를 분석하였다. 연구 분석의 결과를 보면, 학습자의 성별에 따라서 수업활동에서 유의미한 차이를 보이고 있다. 전체적으로 여학생의 영상 학습 활동이 높게 나타나고 있다. 학습자들의 영상 수업에 대한 선호도에 따른 비교에서 하위 그룹 학습자들은 대체로 수업 전 활동에서 높은 비율을 보이고 있으며, 상위 그룹은 수업 중과 수업 후 활동에 비중을 보이고 있다. 학습 활동 문항과 각 그룹 간의 상관관계에서 단어 추론, 내용 토론, 그리고 단어 복습 문항에서 각 그룹들 간의 유의미한 차이를 보이고 있다. 이 연구의 결과를 볼 때, 애니메이션 영어 학습에서 학습자의 성향을 고려할 필요가 있다. 또한 애니메이션 영어 학습을 위한 학습 자료의 개발과 운영에 있어서 이러한 학습자 요인에 대한 결과를 적용할 필요가 있다.
