The purpose of this research is to examine teaching qualities and qualifications of native English speaking teachers who work in secondary schools and language institutes in Korea.
The data for this research was randomly collected from native English and Korean teachers, using a questionnaire. It addressed such issues as : gender, age, major, English teaching experience, teaching certificate, school types as basic information about native English speaking teachers. In order to examine the detailed qualification, 25 equivalent questions in Korean and English including these 4 categories are made : personality & attitude, professional teaching skills, teaching methodology & background knowledge of language and enough understanding of Korean culture. Then, the questionnaires were distributed to native English speaking teachers and Korean teachers, working in Seoul, Kyunggido and Kangwondo.
The researchable issues for this study are as follows.
First, ‘What are the native English speaking teachers qualifications from their self evaluation?’
The data has been analysed and presented in the following text.
Most of the native English speaking teachers think they are qualified to teach English in Korea because they have a good personality and attitude, teaching skills, background knowledge of language and understanding of Korean culture.
Secondly, ‘What are the native English teachers qualifications in the view of Korean teachers?’
The data was then analysed and presented in the following text.
Korean teachers tend to score native English teachers’ qualifications lower than native English teachers did. That means, native English teachers value themselves higher than Korean teachers.
Lastly, this study includes whether the native-English teachers can teach their own classes instead of being assistant teachers. The data was analysed and is presented in the following text.
Native-English teachers think that they are properly qualified to teach their own classes while Korean teachers don’t think native English teachers are qualified. There are some reasons that Korean teachers don't agree with the idea. According to some Korean teachers’ responses, they think native-English speaking teachers have not been educated for teaching and they also don't understand enough about English education in Korea. However, there is a limitation of this result. Native English speaking teachers and Korean teachers do not communicate enough to know each other at work because of time, language or lack of effort to understand them.
No doubt Korea needs native English speaking teachers for effective and successful English education, however, Korean English education must carefully consider their qualifications before they are hired. Many private language institutes boast of having native English teachers, but what they have are not fully qualified native English speakers. Furthermore, generally they do not have appropriate teacher training programs for native English speakers. The number of native English teachers in Korea is growing every year. However, there seems to be no correlation between the growing number and the teaching qualities and qualifications. To solve this problem, Korea needs to offer well-organized orientation about Korean culture and education system, and also they provide the information about their culture for Korean teachers to understand them better. Korea also uses the native English teachers’ various majors to introduce Content-Based Instruction in the school system.
A Korean government organization, such as EPIK is expected to provide special teacher training programs for the native teachers to improve the English education in Korea. If so, an enormous budget and effort should be put into EPIK, so successful and effective English education can be developed.
