The purpose of this study is to design a model for the development of ‘English lesson plans’ focusing on improvement of cultural understanding in elementary English education utilizing the Internet. This study examined the use of the Internet as a teaching tool for English culture education. The reasons for devising new lesson plans utilizing the Internet are as follows. First, in this fast-paced information era, the Internet allows people to study beyond time and space. The Internet is a necessity in daily life and will play a more leading role in education in terms of content and will be instrumental in the future. It is necessary for the nation and individuals to use the Internet in order to effectively study English. The Internet not only allows for the sharing of information but also drastically changes education of English. Second, it is important that learners understand English culture. It is necessary for learners to learn the target culture as well as the language in order to get rid of false stereotypes or misunderstandings about the target culture, and successfully communicate with native speakers. Third, learners use the Internet as a main source of educational media. There are many ways to learn the target culture in the process of English learning, but these have a number of limitations. One of the solutions to this program is the learning through the Internet. It is a valuable tool for learning the target culture in English learning, and to introduce the Internet as an efficient too for learning the target culture. In order to achiever the main purpose, a background for using the Internet for English education and culture teaching must be established and an investigation of the actual conditions of elementary schoolchildren should be conducted. From a review of research findings that analyzed students’ actual conditions, and English lesson plan for elementary schoolchildren was designed. The basic principles of this leson plan were based on the 7th English curriculum for elementary schools. The lesson plan combined linguistic competences and culture, the objectives of the unit. In conclusion, the results of this study show that the Internet is the most suitable way to teach and learn English. The contents of lesson plans are made of basic Internet-based activities for learners to experience culture-based activities with interest and practice language functions naturally and effectively. This method can also be adjusted both for on-line classrooms and for traditional off-line classrooms. I expect that this study will help Korean media education fields to research new media including multimedia like that on the Internet and introduce new methods of their own.

The purpose the present article is to show why classroom English is an effective method of improving communicative competence and how it applies to English classes. I insist that if teachers will use classroom English in their English class continuously, the students will have much improvement and be more interested in English. Using the evidence presented in the following essay, I will prove that the suggestions I have made concerning the improvement of the quality of education in Korean elementary schools are necessary to improve children's English skills. First of all, teachers need to use English school terms to make students accustomed to English. Second, teachers should not use broken English or Konglish which is a mixture of Korean and English. Third, it is best to use simple and clear sentences. Fourth, teachers should use various expressions to get the same point across. Fifth students should be made to practice their English in many as different situations and circumstances possible with both teachers and students. Finally, when teachers instruct children on complicated and abstract ideas, it should be recognized that it is at times necessary to use Korean in order that the children may fully understand what is being taught them. Therefore, teachers' language proficiency and confidence are very important. Teachers who lack self-confidence should be encouraged to use classroom English and advised to devise ways of practicing in their classes, so that they may establish English as the main language of communication between teachers and students

The goal of this thesis was to pursue the methods of performance assessment which are useful for English classes at elementary school and to investigate the effects of observation, portfolio, self assessment on English proficiency and children's positive attitudes toward learning English. Bearing the goal in my mind I did the following. First, I reviewed and discussed new trends of evaluation, fundamental theories and methods of performance assessment available at elementary school English classes. Second, I performed an experiment with children in order to find out how effective those three types of assessment are at elementary English classes. The subjects chosen for this study was taken from 5th grade of the "O" elementary School and divided into 3 groups(comparison group A and experimental groups B, C). These 3 groups are recognized as similar groups according to result from pre-listening tests. The experimental groups and the comparison group were given 5th grade regular English textbooks as main texts for this study. The same lesson program was applied in 3 groups. Then, for six weeks on group A was evaluated by observation assessment, group B was evaluated by portfolio assessment, group C was evaluated by self-assessment in every lesson. The findings of this study lead to the following conclusion. The portfolio assessment for elementary school English has a good effect on English achievement than observation assessment and the self-assessment for elementary school English has a good effect learners' learning attitudes. In order to improve students' learning attitudes and communicative abilities, self-assessment and portfolio assessment should be part of the learning process. But portfolio assessment demands more time and teacher's efforts than other assessment, and self-assessment cause a problem in reliability. In order to make performance assessment successful in elementary school English education more studies on practical and effective methods are demanded. And elementary school teachers should try to apply various assessment techniques to English classrooms, and thus to verify the effectiveness of each assessment model.

The purpose of this study is to explore native English teachers' lessons and to analyze their effectiveness. In order to address the purpose, three research questions were established. 1) What is the native English teacher's classroom like? 2) Do the native English teacher's lessons have an affirmative influence on the English achievement including the listening-speaking part? 3) What is the recognition of the students and the Korean English teachers about the native English teacher's lessons? Main findings provided by this study can be described in both positive and negative aspects. The positive aspects are as follows. 1) Most of learners experience a variety of communicative activities. 2) Most learners are well motivated and encouraged to be involved in spoken language dialogue. 3) The teacher as a living target language setting provides learners with current American English and their way of thinking and behavioral pattern during teacher-students interaction process. 4) Under the native teacher's classroom circumstances, most learners are likely to be able to listen to idiomatic expressions and current spoken English. 5) As the native teacher organizes and operates the classroom activities on the basis of the students' abilities and interests to enhance the communicative competence, they get easily interested in the native teacher's lessons. The negative aspects are as follows. 1) The native teachers don't have so much ability to correct or feedback the students' errors as the Korean English teachers. 2) It seems to be quite difficult for the teacher to keep his classes in person-to-person activities under our overcrowded class size and linguistic conditions. 3) The native teacher's teaching does not have much effect on the improvement of the English grade for the entrance exam to college. 4) The problems of qualification and teaching quality of the native teachers should be raised. In conclusion, the native teachers have a contribution to our actual English classroom activities focused on improving the communicative competence. But it is revealed that the effectiveness is small. considering the cost. In this respect, this program must be monitored or reexamined in a long-term perspective.

I observed that whether their ability of listening and speaking were improved, and whether they came to show their Interest and self-confidence in English. Secondly, 1 have tried to find out what we would be the difference between boys and girls in their learning. In order to achieve these purposes, I classified the students into two groups. The first group was experimental group 'and the other one was 'controlled group' and I gave them the 5th grade regular English It textbooks as main text for this study. I have taught the experimental group with the task-based learning approach while the controlled group with the 6th curriculum. The analysis was based on the result of their listening and speaking test and examination of their interest and self-confidence. As a result, I could find that the experiment groups to higher scores in speaking and interest. .And the listening ability of the inferior students was improved. Therefore, I believe that it is so important for the teachers to understand the value of the task-based learning approach, and to develop the relevant learning tasks applicable to their English classes. In conclusion, 1 would like to point out that English teaching of elementary student with task-based learning approach is highly effective way to encourage their speaking ability and interest in English.
