Elementary school teachers’ and students’ perception on the effective English teaching methods

This study has explored teachers’ and students’ perception on various teaching and learning methods in English class. The number of subjects participated were 487 teachers and 521 students in 50 experimental schools for introducing English education to 1st and 2nd grade elementary school students. Both teachers and students have answered that ‘games’, ‘songs’ and ‘chants’ are the most preferred teaching methods. With regard to the degree of participation for a specific method, there was some discrepancy between teachers’ and the students’ perception. This implies that teachers need to be more aware of how the students actually feel in the class. Teachers suggested that applying various teaching methods is important to increase the students’ interest and acquisition. Teachers also suggested that they need more opportunity to be used to the theories and practice in English teaching methods.
