초록
The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception of Korean primary teachers of the vocabulary of English taught in primary schools. This study also investigates the associations among the variables of teaching experience, overseas training experience, English teaching experience as a homeroom teacher and English teaching experience as an English teacher. 106 primary teachers participated in this study. Questionnaires were used to collect the data. For the data analysis, Crosstabs and Multi Response were used. The results of this study were as follows: First, 35% of the participants definitely considered the level of English words in textbooks to be easy, while 23% of them considered the level to be adequate. Second, 47% reported that they considered the size of the vocabulary to be inadequate, whereas 20% were satisfied with the size. In addition, nearly 90% of the respondents considered it proper to teach 4 words per hour. Among variables, overseas training experience was found to be significantly associated only with teachers’ perception in this regard. Finally, 58% of the participants reported that words related to the category of greetings, apologizing and making excuses are overly presented in the textbook.
