Lee, Ye-Ji and Tae-Young Kim. 2018. The Effect of Video-conferencing Education on English-Learning Motivation and Attitudes in Rural and Island Areas. Korean Journal of English Language and Linguistics, 19-1, 95-119. This study examines English-learning motivation and attitudes toward video-conferencing of elementary school students in rural and island areas of Jeollanam-do Province. Grade 3 elementary school students are the subjects of our study. The participants were divided into three conditions: video-conferencing, face-to-face, and hybrid (i.e., video-conferencing plus face-to-face) groups. To identify learner’s motivation, we used the L2 Motivational Self System and Self-Determination Theory. Attitudes included both attitudes toward English learning and attitudes toward foreigners. The results showed that video-conferencing education made students improve their English-learning motivation and attitudes. Except for the ideal L2 self, intrinsic motivation, and positive attitudes toward foreigners, video-conferencing education did not have a difference compared with face-to-face class. Such results indicate that in general the video-conferencing education is as effective as the conventional face-to-face education and can be used for an alternative learning tool for students lacking the opportunity to study with native English speaking teachers in rural and island areas.
