다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

  This paper attempts to discuss the complex nature of social contexts regarding English language education in Korean middle school and to demonstrate the affective factors that should be considered to find appropriate approaches within the context. To do this, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 85 middle school students regarding learners" motivation, and attitudes toward EFL learning. Additionally, teachers in secondary school were asked about the general circumstances of English language education. Findings indicate that in spite of the participants" high instrumental motivation, they rather show a negative attitude toward English learning. This paper intends to raise practitioners" attention to the fact that the effect of learners" affective variables on EFL learning seems distinctive depending on the host country"s EFL contexts.
