Kim, Youngcheol. (2021). A study of integrative English teaching and learning using science contents. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 29(3), 1-20. This study examined how to teach English using science contents in an elementary English classroom. This study first proposed an integrative teaching plan using science contents in the elementary English classroom. Then, this study examined this plan during the second semester in 2020. There were 90 participants, all 5th year elementary school students. They were divided into two groups, control and experimental. Both the control group and the experimental group were composed of 45 students each. All the participants in the experimental group were integratively taught using science contents. All the participants in the control group were taught based on the elementary English curriculum. All of the participants were also given a before and after-achievement test and a questionnaire on affective domains. It can be concluded that the experimental group achieved higher than the control group. Additionally, the experimental group showed a greater degree of interest than the control group. It is, therefore, recommended that teachers use contents from other subjects more often to teach elementary school students. As well, teachers should be given sufficient time to do research at their schools. It is also recommended that teachers be allowed to create teaching materials with no restrictions regarding the integrative English teaching plan. |
