다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is to call for a change in the English teacher education and policy to meet the needs in the secondary schools. In order to investigate the problems in the secondary school English education, the study used two means of data collection: a questionnaire survey and a written description of the problems, The participants were 146 secondary school (53 middle school and 93 high school) English teachers, The survey results were analyzed for the teachers` opinions about themselves, their students/school, the pre-service/in-service teacher education programs and the English-only policy. The written descriptions were analyzed for the teachers`` perceived problems in their schools as well as the current educational system/policy, which were described in three categories: teacher problems, student/school problems and system/policy problems. Based on the results, the study concludes that many of the problems that exist in our secondary school English education result from the teacher education and policy that are not sensitive enough to the needs in the schools and in order to bring about any real improvement in it a change in the current English teacher education and policy must be preceded.
