Development of English Experience Learning Programs for Elementary School Students

The exposure to English and the intensity of English class under the 7th English curriculum hardly enable students' communicative competence to meet the objectives of the curriculum. To compensate for the lack of exposure and intensity in English education, the present study aims to develop English experience learning programs for elementary school students, which can be applied as a supplementary program after school or during vacation. Some previous programs from throughout the country were analyzed and a questionnaire survey for teachers, students, parents and educational administrators was conducted to devise appropriate programs. The syllabus of the program was constructed from language-based activities and task-based activities. The fanner activities are based on situations and topics, and the latter consist of field trips and outdoor activities. Feedback from the application of the programs presented in the study will help improve them. Further research is needed for the development of programs for English teachers, which are required to increase the opportunity to use English and the understanding of English culture.
