CALL 연구관점에서 본 국가 이러닝 영어교육사업 고찰

초록

The major issues of CALL for the last decade were authenticity, interactivity and autonomy. Furthermore, newly emerging network technology, such as web 2.0, Social Network Service (SNS) enhances these features of CALL along with recent CALL research perspectives, such as ‘socio-culturalism’, ‘interactionist SLA’, and ‘constructivism.’ Numerous CALL research in Korea also has attended to value of CALL from these perspective and suggested principles and ideas of integrating technology into EFL learning and instruction. However, only a few studies investigated effectiveness of national e-learning projects in Korea from CALL perspective although many online curriculums and web applications has been developed and applied for English education for a short period. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to review the content and design of government-funded e-learning projects for English education from CALL perspectives. In addition, this study also examines research articles and government reports regarding national e-learning projects for English education in order to find out effectiveness of these products, implications on their utilization, and limitation to improve for the future e-learning project. This study concludes that nationfunded e-learning contents and curriculum for English education in Korea still remain in structural or cognitive CALL phase and were not appropriately designed to enhance authenticity, interactivity, and autonomy for effective language learning.
