A Basic Study of the Analysis of the Utilization Status of the Elementary English Teacher's Guide Book and Suggestions for Further Development

The purpose of this study was to investigate elementary teachers' utilization status and opinions on the English teacher's guide book and suggestions for its improvement. To achieve this aim, a questionnaire was conducted among 410 elementary teachers in Chungbuk province and its results were compared with those of previous research carried out in the Metropolitan area (Choi & Lim, 2005). The results of this study can be summarized as follows: first, regardless of the areas, the opinions of elementary teachers on the utilization frequency and the usefulness of the English teacher's guide book were above moderate levels with slightly higher value in Chungbuk. Second, the English teachers in Chungbuk highly agreed on the suggestions from the previous studies aimed on the improvement of the guide book. Further implications for effective English education were presented based on the results of the study.
