A Study for the Development of a Standard Curriculum in Primary English Education as a Second Major at National Universities of Education

  The main goal of the present paper is to propose a standard curriculum for primary English education. In order to achieve this, we first investigated the current state of primary English education as a second major at the 11 national universities of education and then held a forum to listen to experts" opinions. Finally, a large-scale questionnaire was administered, to which 48 professors and 363 students of the 11 national universities of education, and 382 elementary school teachers responded. Based on the results of the above investigation, the following standard curriculum for primary English education is proposed. First, a total of 24 credits should be given to primary English education as a second major, half for required courses and the other half for elective courses. Second, required courses should include Teaching Methodology in Primary English Education, Classroom English, Teaching Listening and Speaking in Primary English Education, and Teaching Reading and Writing in Primary English Education, each of which would be worth three credits. Finally, 14 elective courses are suggested to be run as two-credit courses.
