O knihe

English majors will soon become English professionals who contribute to Korea's globalization; they are expected to develop their full potentials in order to further improve the economic advancements. To examine their ability, this book was able to determine the English majors' a) expectations in terms of class contents, teaching methodology, and teacher's professional/personal traits; b) experiences in terms of English classes, outside school socialization, and dealings with foreign professors; and, c) potentials in terms of critical thinking-driven and communicative activities. The results suggest that there is a big chance to speed up the development of English education in Korea because most of them are becoming more aware of other styles of education, their actual experiences, and their directions towards globalization. However, a few participants concluded that English education in Korea is moving up and down, as it has been the trend for past years; it might result to slow change because a touch of culture interference still exists whenever changes are made. To remedy the situation, this book has provided a curriculum training program for English teachers and English majors.
