초등방과 후 영어수업에 대한 인식 차이 - 저학년과 고학년, 학생과 학부모 간 비교 분석 = The Difference of the Perceptions on After-School English Program in Elementary Schools -Comparative Analysis between the Lower and Higher Grades, Students and Parents

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As English becomes the official language of the world, the interest about English and English education is getting higher and higher in Korea. So the Korean Government has carried out 'after-school programs' since 2006 as one of the ways to cut the excessive private English education costs. Among after-school programs, English is one of the highest demand programs and the number of the students who take part in the program has been growing. However, in my experience as an after-school English teacher, many students and parents seem to have less confidence in the effects of the after-school English program than those of the private institution.
The purpose of this study is to examine the students' and the parents' perceptions about the after-school English program by surveying and to find out the differences between lower grades and higher grades, students and parents. For that, I surveyed students and parents from the first to the sixth grade who are enrolled in the after-school English program in three different elementary schools. By analyzing the questionnaires, I tried to propose some solutions for the problems.
First, as a result of analyzing the questionnaires, satisfaction about the after-school English program of the two groups, students and parents, has been increased when compared with the previous study. However, in case of the students, the interest in the program has been decreased as their school grades become higher. According to the result of the survey, as they become higher grade students, they take part in the English class because of their parents' encouraging, not because of their desire. It means that motivation is the problem. Therefore, English teachers in after-school need to encourage the higher grade students to get intrinsic motivation as well as the lower grade students.
Second, in case of the parents, even though their satisfaction has been increased, the parents whose children are in lower grade prefer the private institutions in aspect of the effectiveness, continuity, and systematization of English learning when compared with the previous study. They also point out that their children can not be evaluated and be divided by the level properly in the after-school English class. In light of these two facts, it is the level-based classes that are most desired in the after-school English programs. With the level-based classes, the teachers can design their classes more effectively.
Currently, the interest in English keeps growing in global world and, as a result of that, the participants in after-school English program are increasing. The authorities on schools and after-school English programs should not take it for granted, but try to improve the problems and by doing so, they should be able to contribute to invigoration of the after-school English programs and reduction of private English education.
