초록
Over 70% of Finnish citizens are able to communicate in English. This ability can be the good result of systematic formal education. The purpose of this study is to suggest some implications for the development of English education in Korea by examining the English education system in Finland. Communication is the center of English class and it deals with the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in English from the beginning. Through the introduction of content and language-integrated teaching methods, students are taught in English by selecting a common theme from different subjects. It creates an environment in which English is easily accessible so that everyone is exposed to English in Finland without using any medium. The evaluation method of communication-oriented English education is process-based. The availability of high quality English language instruction in Finland can help answer the question of educating high quality teachers. In particular, teacher education in Finland focuses on practical knowledge through a close connection of theory and practice compared to that in Korea.
