30 Years Journey of KSTEL: Achievements and Prospect of Teaching English Drama

The Korean Society for Teaching English Literature (KSTEL), founded in August 1992, celebrates its 30th anniversary this year in 2022. At this point, it will be meaningful to look back and reflect on the past journey of KSTEL and to anticipate and prepare for the future. For this purpose, ‘archiving’ academic achievements of KSTEL so far is a course that must be taken in preparation for the future, and will be a necessary step at this moment of time when the past and the present meet and, at the same time, the present encounters the future. This paper aims to survey the ‘English drama education’ articles published in The Journal of Teaching English Literature of KSTEL from the first issue in 1996 to the 2021 winter issue, and to track changes and trends in pedagogy as well as research methodology and themes during the period. In addition, while commemorating the 30th anniversary of KSTEL, it also intends to serve the purpose of ‘archiving’ the scholarly research and achievements in English drama education papers published in The Journal of Teaching English Literature, as a work of looking back on the past journey of KSTEL and subsequently creating a map for future travel.
