Abstract

In spite of much improvement in college English programs, many universities still face a myriad of problems among which a major one is their heavy dependence on part-time instructors. Most part-time instructors have neither a principled understanding of ‘how to teach’ various English courses nor opportunities for teacher development. Therefore, it must be difficult for them to provide quality instruction to learners. In such a reality, part-time instructors have a dire need for teacher development. This case study examined the influences of small group teacher meeting–an alternative for teacher development–on the instructional practice of part-time instructors who taught college English courses at a private university in Daegu. The data, collected in the fall semester of 2004, show that despite of initial resistance of teachers to participate in small group teacher meeting, they learned to reflect upon their teaching and explore latest instructional methods and strategies through collaborative inquiry. This indicates that small group teacher meeting can be an effective and practical medium for college English programs that strive to improve instructional quality of part-time instructors.
