초등영어 심화연수 프로그램의 형태별 효과성 비교 분석

A comparative study of effects based on the types of intensive elementary English teacher training program

This study examined the Intensive Elementary English Teacher Training Program(IEETTP) held in 2011 spring at G National University of Education to evaluate and compare the effects of its types: IEETTP for English Language Proficiency and IEETTP for Teaching English in English (TEE). Following an overview of the IEETTP program, the present study provides the results of the program survey, English proficiency tests and TEE tests that were conducted on 59 trainees. The results indicated that both types of IEETTP program were successful in terms of their curriculum management and improving English teachers' English proficiency and TEE capabilities. Especially, the trainees showed strong satisfaction for the contents of the both types of the program. Two suggestions were proposed in terms of managing the programs of the IEETTP. First, the IEETTP needs to take proaction in recruiting in-service teachers about the goals of the program and has to identify the needs of in-service English teachers in order to reflect those needs in the program. Second, the IEETTP needs to develop a tailored program which can best support main goals of its overall six-month training program.
