'영어로 강의하는 영문학'에 대한 교수와 학생의 인식 연구

초록

Often aligned with Content-Based Instruction(CBI), Teaching English in English(TEE) has recently been promoted as an improved method of teaching the language, particularly at the college level. This paper takes up the issues of TEE which are involved in developing and conducting the curriculum of English department at the university level, especially teaching literature courses in English. The research aims to investigate perceptions and attitudes of professors and students towards TEE as well as to understand how TEE has been currently implemented through the curriculum of English departments. Two sets of questionnaires were administrated respectively to 116 students and 25 professors in Seoul and GyeongGi provinces. The results point out that there are substantial differences between professors and students in terms of their perceptions about TEE. After taking TEE course, the students have become content more with the improvement of their language skills than with their acquirement of knowledge on literature. Meanwhile, the professors seem to feel more burden for TEE class due to extra preparation time they have to spend. The students are rather positive about the use of English as an instructional media. These findings about perceptions and attitudes towards TEE are expected alert the administrators and professors to rethink and reform the ways in which TEE has been implemented and conducted in EFL contexts for university students.
