초록

This study examines how secondary English school teachers perceive English education from a critical approach. A qualitative research method was employed with six secondary English teachers. The data were collected from in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Findings demonstrate that those teachers had a negative view on current English education since it only functions as a screening tool, and it focuses too much on reading. However, those teachers presupposed English as an important language, i.e., regarding English as a practical and useful tool for the wider world. Therefore, they could not assess English education with a critical approach, thus struggle to encourage students to learn English and acquire such a useful tool, by-passing social problems and negative results English education might cause. Such a nonpolitical and noncritical view toward English education, as Canagarajah (1999) points out, only leads to accommodation or domination. This study suggests taking a critical approach to the aims of English education, teaching practices, and unproblematized assumptions English education presupposes.

Abstract

This study examines how secondary English school teachers perceive English education from a critical approach. A qualitative research method was employed with six secondary English teachers. The data were collected from in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Findings demonstrate that those teachers had a negative view on current English education since it only functions as a screening tool, and it focuses too much on reading. However, those teachers presupposed English as an important language, i.e., regarding English as a practical and useful tool for the wider world. Therefore, they could not assess English education with a critical approach, thus struggle to encourage students to learn English and acquire such a useful tool, by-passing social problems and negative results English education might cause. Such a nonpolitical and noncritical view toward English education, as Canagarajah (1999) points out, only leads to accommodation or domination. This study suggests taking a critical approach to the aims of English education, teaching practices, and unproblematized assumptions English education presupposes.
