This study is undertaken to present the facilitation plan of English library that specialized the resource-based learning to provide learning that is suited for student's own learning style and self-leading learning as the method to learn contents required for individuals as a method for improving the English education environment in the rural areas. For this purpose, a study was conducted to find out the possibility of facilitating English library in the rural areas on the basis of consulting for structuring and operating English library in public libraries located in isolated areas clustered with low income class in the urban areas where the conditions are similar to the rural areas and results are shown as the followings. First, it displayed the possibility to have the rural area located with many closed schools or small-sized schools to facilitate the available facilities to build up the environment to specialize in English education that would be as comparable as any facilities in any urban setting. Second, it would enable the conditions to moderate the conflict on education environment for local residents who felt inequality in education by providing the benefit for fine education linked to public education through English library without going through private education. And third, English library that has the limitations in locality or economic means would actively participate by local educational institutions and volunteers to enhance the sense of master for the local residents and bring residents together to make positive impact on local economy facilitation.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest a model for an English learning web-site using Korean folktales to stimulate the interest of beginners learning English, (elementary and early middle school ages) and suggest an integrated way of teaching 4 skills. The study first reviews the theoretical and historical backgrounds of storytelling using Korean folk tale, WBI (Web Based Learning), and learner-centered learning. Storytelling using Korean folk tale is an interactive way of teaching English through the use of words and actions from Korean traditional culture. The students can take pride in their own culture while learning a foreign language since they are familiar with the stories and the culture. Nowadays multicultural education is one of the big features of global education. Therefore there are benefits of studying English through Korean folktales. The websites can help students learn English ubiquitously with a learner-centered focus. For the study, we analyzed several digital English storytelling websites. The paper concludes that digital English story books need to improve their interactive ways of teaching for more effective learning. The authors created an integrated English learning website model using Korean folktales for beginners. We hope to introduce this type of learning through the website for higher level students in middle school. Further study should be conducted in order to make the websites more meaningful and useful for Korean students learning English.

본 연구의 목적은 가정과 학원에서 이루어지는 영아의 조기영어교육 실태를 조사하고 영아어머니들의 영아영어교육에 대한 요구에의 영향 변인을 분석하는 것이었다. 연구대상은 어린이집에 다니는 36개월 미만의 자녀를 둔 어머니 441명이었다. 질문 조사에 의해 수집된 자료로써 빈도분석과 로지스틱 회귀분석을 하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상의 30.9%가 영어교육을 하고 있으며, 주로 어린이집에서의 영어교육을 계기로, 시작시기는 생후 24개월~36개월 이전에 교육을 시작한 것으로 나타났다. 교육실태는 공통적으로 주 1~2회, 회당 30분 미만 실시, 5만원 미만의 월교육비, 교사는 영어를 전공한 한국인, '간단한 회화'를 위해 시청각 자료의 사용, 학습지나 워크북의 높은 활용으로 요약되었다. 한편, 66.0%의 어머니가 영아영어교육에 대해 긍정적 입장을 취하며, 자녀 연령과 월수입이 높을수록, 그리고 신경생리학적, 언어학적, 사회적 영어교육 요구 근거에 동의할수록 교육 요구가 긍정적일 확률이 높았다. 본 연구결과를 통해 영아영어교육에 대한 바람직한 안내가 보다 구체적으로, 시급하게 이루어질 필요가 있다고 시사되었다.

오늘날의 세계화 도래와 함께 국제적, 사회적으로 영어의 필요성은 더욱 중요해지고 있으며 이를 체감하며 자란 7, 80년대생이 자녀를 가지기 시작하면서 영어 조기교육 열풍이 점점 확산 되고 있다. 이는 최근 자녀수가 감소함에 따라 자녀의 환경과 교육에 아낌없이 투자하려는 심리와 맞물려 부모들의 영어조기교육에 대한 기대가 더욱 높아졌다. 이러한 사회적인 필요에 의해 초등학교 교육과정까지 영어교육을 도입한 공교육을 선두로 조기에 영어교육을 시작하는 것이 효율적이라는 학자들의 주장이 힘을 입어 그 대상을 영 유아까지 포함하게 된것이다. 이처럼 어린 연령대의 아이들을 위한 영어조기교육의 경우, 긍정적인 결과를 가지고 올 수도 있지만, 부정적인 영향을 가지고 올 수 있어도 체계적인 연구를 통한 교육지침의 설립이 시급하다. 본 논문에서는 언어습득의 이론적 배경들을 설명하여 영 유아의 조기언어교육 타당성을 제시하고 에듀테인먼트 애니메이션의 교육적인 효과를 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위해 현재 유통되고 있는 2 ~7세의 유아들을 대상으로 하는 DVD 타이틀 가운데 이미 베스트셀러로 인정받고 있는 영어교육용 에듀테인먼트 애니메이션들을 유형별로 묶어 비교해보았다. 더 나아가 여러 유형 중 참여 유도형 에듀테인먼트 애니메이션의 캐릭터 분석 및 진행형식, 효과적인 학습을 위해 선택된 스토리텔링 구성 등을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 유아의 영어교육용 엔터테인먼트 애니메이션에는 어떤 유형이 있는지 비교해보고 분석하여 언어교육을 목적으로 하는 타이틀을 유아들의 수준과 연령에 맞게 제작하기 위해서는 어떠한 장치가 있어야 하는지에 대한 기본적인 틀을 제시하는 데 있다.

English has been taught as a compulsory subject at elementary schools since 1997 starting with third graders, to sixth graders. We have seen active research on teaching methods for elementary English, but little has been done from the learners' perspective. It is very proper time for English educators to review what the elementary students think about their English classes. The purpose of the present study is as following. First, we tried to find out how the students' attitude toward and interest in English have changed over the four-year English education. Second we attempted to suggest the ways to promote the students' interests, and to increase understanding and participation in English classes. We also suggest that curriculum developers need to consider the students' lower interests and understanding in English classes as they move to higher grades, and that classroom teachers need to have a better understanding of what their students do and feel in the English classes.

With recent scientific advances and growing interest in AI technologies, AI-based chatbots have been viewed as a practical learning aid for English language development. The purpose of this study is to examine preservice teachers' perceptions on the potential benefits of employing AI chatbots in English instruction and its pedagogical aspects. 28 preservice teachers majoring in English education were asked to use Kuki chatbots for a week with a guidance of a researcher and then report on their perceptions of AI chatbots in terms of perceived usefulness after use, applicability, and educational benefits and drawbacks. Emerging codes and themes were identified and evaluated using Thematic Analysis(TA) based on qualitative data from surveys and interviews. The findings show that six emerging themes were identified, encompassing perspectives on teacher, learner, communication, linguistic, affective, and assessment. The overall findings of this study revealed that AI-based chatbots can play a significant role as learning tools for stimulating interactive communication in a target language. Most preservice primary teachers acknowledge that AI chatbots can be useful as teaching and learning aids for both teachers and students. Furthermore, when applying various learner data to chatbot technology, such as learner assessment and diagnosis, a guided approach is necessary to perform a conversation appropriate for the learner's level and characteristics. Finally, as chatbots have a variety of benefits in terms of affective aspects, they may improve EFL learners' confidence in speaking English and learning motivation.

The purpose of this study is to create step by step guidelines for effective team teaching between Korean teachers of English and native English teachers in Korea. Although team teaching has been used from 1995 in the teaching of English in Korea, the effectiveness of team teaching has not been as high as we have hoped. An important reason for this failure is the lack of communication between the Korean teachers of English and the native English teachers. More specifically, the failure has resulted from not only a lack of opportunities for these teachers to communicate but also a lack of guidelines and strategies for improved intercultural communication between teachers from different cultural backgrounds. This study provides step by step guidelines for how to set up communication time, what to share, and how to set up effective team teaching in English education.
