An analysis of teachers’ perception on the implementation of the 2015 revised English curriculum: Focusing on elementary school Grades 3-4

This study examines teachers’ perception on the implementation of the 2015 revised English curriculum in elementary school Grades 3 and 4. Teachers who taught Grades 3 and 4 English in 2018 or 2019 were given a survey to complete and interviews were conducted. The results indicate that the majority of the respondents said that the English subject competencies introduced in the 2015 revised national curriculum were suitable for application in elementary schools and that the difficulty level and amount of English learning content in elementary school Grades 3 and 4 were appropriate. However, there were also many responses indicating that the listening part was easy and the writing part was difficult; additionally, the reading and writing parts were short based on the amount of learning. In terms of the difficulty of teaching third and fourth grade English, the majority of the respondents stated that it was the most difficult to manage classes considering the individual differences of students. To manage classes considering these differences, most respondents indicated that it was necessary to provide support personnel. However, interviews also suggested concerns for supporting assistant teachers. Based on these results, support measures were proposed to improve the difficulties in the field.
