사범대학 영어교육과 교육과정의 분석과 제안

초록

This paper is to suggest a desirable curriculum for the pre-service English teacher training at colleges of education in Korea. In order to meet the purpose of this study, we analyzed the undergraduate curriculums which were collected from 32 English education departments. In addition, we discussed the goals, the problems and the advisable methods of English teaching at secondary schools. Furthermore, we discussed the abilities required for English teachers and analyzed the English textbooks of junior and senior high schools. In the curriculum of the English education department which is suggested in this paper, 35% of all courses are allocated to English language skills, 21% to linguistics, 15% to literature, 6% to culture and 9% to practical English. The other 15% are allocated to English teaching principles and methods. The most necessary requirement of an English teacher is English proficiency, so this paper emphasizes the practice of the four skills of language. The subjects on language skills are recommended to integrate the receptive skills and productive ones such as ‘Reading and Writing,’ Reading and Speaking, ‘Listening and Speaking’ and ‘Listening and Writing’. Finally, we hope that this paper contributes to the development of curriculum of pre-service English teacher training programs.
