초록
The purpose of this study is to examine the feelings and perceptions of English teachers at Korean universities towards using an LMS to teach English classes during the global COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. Data were collected from 22 teachers working at 9 different universities in the greater Seoul area. A survey questionnaire consisting of a combination of multiple choice, Likert scale and opened ended questions was used as the primary data collection method. In addition, if consent was given, survey participants were contacted via e-mail or Zoom to discuss responses in greater detail. Data analysis was done using general qualitative analysis and discussed using descriptive statistics. The findings of the study show despite the confusion caused by the pandemic, English teachers at Korean universities were able to adapt quickly to using an LMS as their main teaching interface and were generally satisfied with the LMS they used. In addition, any training received on how to operate the LMS was found to be helpful although more training in specific areas appears to be desired. Specific functions provided by LMSs for language teaching were also deemed to be important. Administrational and educational implications of these findings as well as limitations are also discussed.
