Perception on the Teachers` Use of English Only in Korean EFL Classrooms
이종복 ( Jong Bok Lee ),임여국 ( Yeo Guk Im ) 한국현대언어학회 2011 언어연구 Vol.26 No.4
The most considerable change of the English language educational policy in Korea is the implementation of Teaching English in English (TEE) only in English classes at all school levels. Although teaching target languages (TLs) in TLs only has been preferred throughout many decades, the issue of TLs only in class is extremely controversial among researchers. Therefore, this study first collected and analyzed official documents related to TEE policy in order to examine the emphasis of TEE only in Korea. Recent and earlier theoretical and empirical literature regarding teachers` use of TLs in TL classes is reviewed in order to find whether teachers` use of TLs only and avoidance of students` first languages (L1s) is effective or not. Quantitative analyses of the official documents provided that the pressure on TEE only from authorities has been stronger and made English teachers teach English in English only. Qualitative analysis of theoretical and empirical review demonstrated that TEE only in an EFL setting is not a good strategy when students` English proficiency is low. In addition, students` L1s can be a useful tool to understand English better. Finally, the research review offered that the balance between use of an L1 and a TL is recommended.
