The current research aims to reveal in-service teachers’ awareness of consulting programs in elementary schools and examines a case of peer-consulting between two elementary English teachers in In-cheon. In the survey, eighty elementary English teachers participated and the results were analyzed. The results show that most teachers were unsatisfied with current school consulting programs because of the rare opportunities of face-to-face consulting and the uni-directional communication system. Nevertheless, most of the elementary teachers admitted that consulting programs are necessary. It is revealed that the consulting process has to be in the form of mutual peer-consulting and teachers’ active participation is vital to improve their teaching abilities. Based on the findings of the survey, a case of mutual peer-consulting was conducted. The results demonstrate that peer-consulting is effective to enhance the teaching abilities and the participants’ confidence in English teaching. The participants were satisfied with the peer-consulting program. Thus, it is imperative to implement the mutual peer-consulting program in each school in order to enhance the teaching ability of novice and/or young teachers.
