Abstract

The present study, through a survey of Korean middle and high school English teachers, investigates Korean middle and high school English teachers' perceptions of the problems of the improvement of English education, grasps the current state of English language teaching in the school, and discusses short-term and long-term measures to improve English education of middle and high schools in Korea. The study not only examines and analyzes the overall perceptions of Korean English teachers about the problems and current state related to the improvement of English education, but also compares between the two groups of middle school and high school English teachers. A total of 331 English teachers, consisting of 157 middle schools teachers and 174 high schools teachers, participated in the survey. The results of the survey showed that both middle and high school English teachers have a common opinion that students' level differences hinder the improvement of English education, which implies that customized instruction and evaluation by level are necessary. However, the results also revealed significant differences between middle and high school English teachers in their perception about some problems that made it difficult to improve English education in Korea, about the current state of English language teaching in the school, and also about the essential elements for effective communicative teaching of English. These differences signify that more support for communicative English classes are urgent in high schools that focus on preparing for college entrance exams.

Keywords:
