영어수업능력 향상을 위한 사이버형 영어교사 심화연수 효과 연구

Abstract

The Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has been carrying out IIETTP(Intensive In-service English Teacher Training Program) for English teachers so that TEE(Teaching English in English) policy can be applied to English classes. This study tried to find out if a Cyber IIETTP is constructed to enhance practical teaching skills and if it actually helps out the trainees in such areas. This study examined 78 trainees that participated in a Cyber IIETTP in 2010 by analyzing their learning behaviors, post-training survey results, and the curriculums. It found out that the middle school teachers put more study hours than the elementary ones, and that those in their 40s to 50s studied more than those in their 20s to 30s while all of them preferred speaking classes. This indicated that a Cyber IIETTP can be highly beneficial in their 40s to 50s who are in need of such program but the circumstances do not allow them to participate in any off-line programs. A close examination of the curriculum for some Cyber institutes revealed that it is only concerned with communicative skills and requires some improvements in the future.
