ABSTRACT

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the attitude toward English learning in the dental hygiene students. Methods : A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by the 498 dental hygiene students in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Gangwon and Chungcheong Province. The questionnaire consisted of motive of English learning, confidence and interest. Data were analyzed by SPSS 19.0 program. Results : Approximately 85 percent of the students had strong motivation for English learning. Test-based English learning generally discouraged the students(61.8%). The students found that listening and speaking was the best way of learning English(44.6%). Most of the students were very interested in English but the cramming method of learning made them tired(p<0.05). Conclusions : Self-directed learning is the best way of learning English to the students. The curriculum should consist of actual listening and speaking practices instead of test-based study.
