영어음소 인식능력과 청해능력의 상관관계 연구 -영어이름 받아쓰기 실험을 중심으로

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between phonemic awareness and listening comprehension ability. For this particular research purpose the English name test and TOEFL L/C tests were employed and a total of 34 university students participated in this experiment. The English name test consisting of relatively unheard 26 English names was specially designed and administered for the participants to depend on their own phonemic awareness ability, not applying their cognitive prior knowledge. when they transcribed the names using the phonetic alphabets. The statistical result showed that the Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient was .550* and its coefficient of determination was .303. This result clearly demonstrated that the phonemic awareness ability was highly correlated with the overall listening comprehension ability and implied thε need for implementing the so-called bottom-up method for developing students' phonernic awareness ability at primary or secondary school levels.
