평화봉사단의 영어교육적 함의와 사회·교육적 영향 분석:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the English educational implication and educational influence of the Peace Corps who served in Korea in the past. Peace Corps service was separated by three different time periods in the study: From 1966 to 1981, from 1982 to 2010, and from 2011 to the present. The first period is the time period that the Peace Corps officially served in Korea. The second period is the time period that the Peace Corps who remained after 1981 personally served in Korea. In the third period, there have been two of representative services: Activities of‘Friends of Korea’in America, and partnership of Korea with America for international development assistance. The study results revealed that English education was always at the forefront of the Peace Corps service and the Language Laboratory Association which became the forerunner of KATE had a positive influence on the Peace Corps service to effectively take root in Korean English education. The difficulties of the Peace Corps service at high schools in the beginning stopped their service there and moved their service to middle schools, universities, and other areas such as science education, health and tourism.
