Abstract

The English language listening environment in Korea nowadays is situated in a quiet and artificial state rather than one of natural exposure. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of convergence for pronunciation and listening activities using English advertisements. A survey sample of 40 students was chosen for this study. These 40 students successfully answered the questionnaire and took a 3 hour English course as an elective. Pre and post surveys tests were done for listening ability and learning interests. For the listening tests, TOEIC L.C. test were used and survey questions about interests made by Sunhee Park were revised to be proper used. The results of this study show a positive impact on TOEIC listening ability and that students are able to listen and naturally pronounce more successfully through convergence using English advertisements with higher learning motivation.

현 한국의 영어 듣기 학습은 자연적 노출 환경에서 보다는 조용한 인위적 환경에서 주로 이루어지고 있기 때문에 학습자 주위의 다양한 소음이 들어가거나 초분절적 요소가 가미된 자연적 발화 환경에서의 듣기 능력은 현저히 미흡하다. 본 연구의 목적은 자연적 노출 환경으로서 영어 광고를 활용하여 학습자들의 발음과 듣기의 융합 활동을 중심으로 영어 듣기 능력 향상에 긍정적 영향을 주고 있음을 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구는 A 대학교 교양 영어 수강자 40명을 대상으로 영어 듣기 능력 평가를 위해 토익 Listening Comprehension 테스트를 사전과 사후 비교 분석하였고 흥미도에 대한 설문조사를 실시하여 사전 사후의 결과를 비교하였다. 흥미도 테스트를 위한 설문 24 문항은 박선희(2003)의 설문 내용을 토대로 하여 연구자가 본 연구에 맞도록 재구성 하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 영어 광고를 통해 자연스럽게 발음하고 들을 수 있는 융합 활동으로 영어 학습에 흥미를 통한 동기유발로 토익 듣기능력 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다.
