Position of the History of the English Language in Schools of Education and its Effective Teaching

The purpose of this study is twofold: to examine how the History of the English Language is distributed in the curricula of the Departments of English Education and English Teacher Selection Test in Korea and to explore its effective teaching. According to the investigation of curricular and English Teacher Selection Test, 30 schools among the 32 Schools of Education in Korea offer a course dealing with the History of the English Language, but not one question has been asked on the area since 2001 in English Teacher Selection Test. This discrepancy between the two systems may influence the status of and students' interests in the course. To maintain students' interests and to approach the course in a more practical way, the following is proposed as effective teaching methods in this study: utilizing a list of the questions centered around the properties of Modern English that are seemingly irregular and anomalous as a central goal of the class, utilizing the course in a way of improving students' communication skills and teaching the course using websites.
