  • The study aims to answer two questions: (a) what perceptions do NNESTs have about teaching native English speaking (NES) students? (b) what perceptions do NES students have of their NNESTs? The study participants were four NNESTs and 17 NES students. Data were collected through one-on-one interviews, which were analyzed qualitatively. Major study findings showed the differences between the NNESTs and their NES students in the area of teaching and language performance. The NNESTs were perceived by their students as using ineffective teaching techniques, lacking in their command of English, especially accent; the NNESTs, in turn, perceived themselves as well-prepared teachers with not too much concern about nonnativeness of English, and felt that their students were not actively engaged in their class. The present study indicates, for both NNESTs and NES students, the need to be aware of World Englishes (WE) in terms of language and pedagogy. This involves the variety of Englishes, especially with different accents existence among nonnative speakers, and the variety of learning and teaching methods in English class, where both need to create a balance between the old and new perspective to maintain a middle ground.

  • The purpose of this paper is to suggest that the International Phonetic Alphabet be included in English curriculum and taught in English classroom. Current English curriculum for elementary and middle school students doesn't specify anything for the education of the IPA. The knowledge of IPA is essential for the students to study by themselves how to pronounce English words. The IPA, however, is either too little or too much to be taught at school. It is too little in that it doesn't tell us anything about allophones, the knowledge of which could enable us to get rid of foreign accents as much as possible. It is too much in that it can represent more than one sounds (e.g., /ɔ/ in American and British English). To overcome these drawbacks, it should be introduced gradually with the allophones in the same environments. The correct vowel sounds should be introduced with the aid of pronunciation dictionary so that the students could get their own vowel quality. Moreover, the IPA symbol should be adopted for the English textbooks.

  • The aim of this study is to understand how English textbooks in Korea and Japan reflect English education policies for improving the English language learners' cultural ability. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the method of analyzing English textbooks was used because English textbooks are an important tool that most specifically reflects the English policy of a country. This study analyzed a total of six English textbooks, three middle school English textbooks currently used in Korea and three in Japan. We analyzed nouns/pronouns related to culture presented in the reading section included in each unit, and compared cultural diversity and cultural identity included in English textbooks in Korea and Japan. As a result, it was found that both countries experienced cultural diversity through English education and introduced their cultural pride to Western culture to realize the goal of strengthening global capabilities. This textbook analysis results show that English textbooks of Korea and Japan depend on American/British cultures and norms. The cultural contents of English textbooks in Korea and Japan tend to focus on geography, food and drink, festivals and activities, family and education systems, etc. And English textbooks in Korea and Japan include the cultural sections in each lesson, but they don't suggest how to relate these cultural sections into the learners' real experiences. These results can be utilized as the motives from which both countries develop English education policy and textbooks in the future.

  • The purpose of this study is to help the students in middle school improve their English listening comprehension by presenting effective teaching and learning techniques using animation. A good animation provides a self-contained world with language expressed in a virtual context. A few animation such as "Mulan", "The Emperor's New Clothes", and "Gulliver's Travel" are presented. The materials are primarily for English listening comprehension, enhance awareness of American culture and life-styles, and to encourage students' active role in learning English. It is suggested that their use with content-based instruction, where animation provides relevant schema background, makes language relevant and comprehensible. Practical aspects of classroom instruction are discussed, focusing on the adaption of pre-viewing, while-viewing, and post-viewing activities to the selected animation. It is concluded that careful animation selection, purposeful lesson planning, and the integration of pre-viewing, while-viewing, and post-viewing activities into the content-based lesson encourage natural language skills, especially the listening comprehension and students' interest in English.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 플립드러닝 기반의 PBL(Problem-Based Learning) 수업 모형을 활용하여 중학교 영어 수업을 개발하고, 그 효과를 살펴보는 데에 있다. 최근 들어서, 플립드러닝과 PBL을 결합하려는 시도가 다양하게 이루어지고 있지만, 중고등학교 교과 수업에의 적용 연구는 아직 많지 않은 상황이며, 이에 본 연구의 시도는 이론적, 실제적 의의가 있을 것으로 기대한다. 수업 모형은 선행연구 검토를 통해 구체화시켰고, 수업 개발은 일반적 설계 절차(분석-설계-개발-실행-평가)를 따랐으며, 관련 전문가들의 자문으로 타당성을 확보하였다. 수업의 효과를 검증하기 위하여 영어 학업성취도 검사와 영어과 핵심역량 검사를 수업 처치 사전과 사후에 실시하였다. 영어 학업성취도 변화는 대응표본 t 검증의 방법으로 분석하였고, 핵심역량과 성취도 검사 수행 수준(상위, 하위)이 사전-사후 점수 변화에 미치는 효과의 양상은 혼합모형 반복측정 분산분석의 방법으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과 학업성취도와 핵심역량 모두 상승하였으며, 성취도 검사 하위 집단의 학생들이 상대적으로 더 큰 폭의 향상을 보였다. 결론적으로 플립드러닝 기반 PBL 수업은 중학생의 영어 학업성취도와 핵심역량 향상에 효과적인 것으로 보이며, 특히, 학업 성취도가 낮은 학생들에게도 효과적인 수업 방법으로 나타났다.

  • WBI 프로그램에 바탕을 둔 학습시스템이 국내대학이나 규모가 큰 사교육기관에서 사이버대학이라는 형태로 현재 일반화 되었지만, 아직도 학교 현장에선 적절한 학습자료나 시스템 구성의 미비로 인해 활용이 미진한 상태다. 이에 본 논문에서는 웹에 기반을 둔 중학교 영어교과 수업모형을 개발해, 실제 수업현장에서 활용하여 이를 통해 교수 학습 방법을 개선하고, 개별학습과 반복학습을 가능하도록 하는데 중점을 두었다. 이를 위해 원격교육용 학습시스템을 설계하여 구현한 후, 이를 실제 현장에서 적용한 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 내릴 수 있었다. 첫째, 개발된 시스템이 영어과의 학습목표 달성에 효과적이었다. 둘째, 원격학습 시스템을 통해 교과학습능력 증진뿐만 아니라 인터넷 사용능력도 함께 키울 수 있었다. 셋째, 개별화 교육이 이루어졌다.

  • The present study has a dual purpose to investigate the current state of school English library and needs required for its effective use, and to propose a reading program at the school library. The literature on school library was reviewed. A questionnaire survey was done to find out the current situation of English library at the secondary school. The analysis of 26 secondary English teachers' responses reveals that there was the absence of librarians or reading specialists at the school English library. It was also found that the uses of the English library were limited due to the absence of the specialists, no guidelines, and no link between the curriculum and the library use. A case study on a 2-week special reading program at the school English library was conducted and 15 middle school students took part in the project. The participants took pre- and post-tests to identify their reading level using a software and did a variety of reading activities using the books selected according to their level. The comparison of the tests shows that most of the students' reading level improved after the reading program. The analysis of their views on the program and its effects reveals that they gained confidence in reading and their vocabulary understanding was improved. Some suggestions are made for the effective management of the school English library.

  • The goals of this study were to identify differences in learners' and teachers' perspectives on EFL learners' language anxiety, to identify the differences among teachers coping with learners' language anxiety, and to find how learners cope with their language anxiety. The research was effectuated by means of a survey questionnaire and interviews. The data were collected from 92 teachers and 230 students in four different school settings. There were the $6^{th}$ grade 50 primary school learners, the $2^{nd}$ grade 60 middle school learners, the $11^{th}$ grade 60 high school learners of, and the $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ grade 60 university learners. There were also 26 primary school teachers, 22 middle school teachers, 21 high school teachers, and 23 university teachers. The findings reveal that there were differences in responses among the respondents. The findings suggest that teachers need to pay attention to their particular learners' anxiety sources: especially in the case of primary school setting, the activity of answering teachers' questions for teachers was the primary source of learner's anxiety, in the case of middle school settings, translating sentences in English into Korean, in the case of high school setting, checking unknown vocabulary, and in the case of university settings, university learners felt anxious when classmates spoke fluently. The implications of the study indicate that these aspects should be handled carefully to motivate certain group of learners.
