본문내용

In recent years, English curricula in Korea have focused on the cultivation of learners’ communicative competence and their integrative ability to use English in everyday communicative contexts. To this end, Korean government has embarked on a new project which is TEE program (Teaching English in English Program). However, unlike the general expectation, the actual implementation of TEE has not been successful so far. Korea’s English education methods have been influenced by major shifts in the world’s language teaching trends. As the result, the gap has been widening between their educational ideals and classroom realities. For that reason, we need to find an education method that best suits our societal. In order to find a resolution, primarily we need to understand and evaluate the methodologies of language teaching because of “good theories provide foundation stones for the novice to build their own foundation”.
