초록

The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility of applying authentic instruction in order to reduce the educational gap. For this, the additive and the differential effects of authentic instruction on English achievement were analyzed. For analysis, KELS (Korean Educational Longitudinal Study) panel data, which has been collected since 2005, were used. The total number of students analyzed was 5,889 after cases without follow-up information were excluded. Two-level HLM (Hierarchical Linear Modeling) was employed for analysis. The results showed that there was an additive effect of authentic instruction with no controlling variables. However, the size of the effect decreased as soon as the controlling variables were added. The differential effect of authentic instruction at the school level was consistent. Therefore, authentic instruction might be a good policy choice to reduce the educational gap between high and low SES students.
