When communicative language teaching (CLT) was first developed in the 1970s, it was widely seen as the definitive response to the shortcomings of previous approaches and the communication needs of a globalized world. As such, it was exported enthusiastically over the world as a ready-to-use package of ideas and techniques. From the outset, however, there was no clear consensus about its nature,and teachers experienced difficulty in defining and implementing it. There is now a widespread view that teachers need to adapt CLT to suit specific contexts. CLT cannot now be defined in terms of precise characteristics but serves rather as an umbrella term for approaches that aim to develop communicative competence through personally meaningful learning experiences. In this spirit, we should aim to develop principles which help each teacher to develop a form of communication-oriented language teaching (COLT) suited to his or her own specific context.

L2 synonyms (and other related words) that are undifferentiated (i.e., are translated as the same word) in learners’ L1 are among the most difficult lexical items for L2learners to grasp. How to help students learn the appropriate use of these words has been a great challenge for L2 teachers. Drawing on recent research in corpus linguistics and corpus-based language teaching, this paper strives to show that corpus analysis can effectively differentiate synonyms and help L2 students successfully learn the appropriate use of the words in a synonym set. The paper begins with a brief overview of research on synonyms and their learning/use. Then using four sets of English synonyms/related words that are not differentiated in Korean, it discusses, with specific examples of learning activities and exercises, how corpus analysis and its results can be used to help learners differentiate these difficult words and grasp their usage patterns. The paper concludes with a summary of both the benefits and challenges of such a teaching approach and some strategies for dealing with the challenges.

This study aims to investigate differences between task-based learning and teaching (TBLT) and storytelling-based learning and teaching (SBLT), focusing on teaching interaction in Korean elementary schools. The present study is motivated by the realization of the effects of teaching English by telling stories in comparison with TBLT, which has been effectively implemented in language classrooms. This study investigates eight task-based classrooms and eight storytelling-based classrooms in conjunction with teacher interviews. The findings indicate that frequencies of teacher talk and L1 interaction are significantly higher in TBLT than those in SBLT, and frequencies of other utterance types are significantly different between the two. These distinctions result in the two main interaction patterns for TBLT and SBLT, respectively. In addition, the interviews with teachers indicate that the atmosphere of TBLT classroom interaction has a tendency to be competent, and that of SBLT has a tendency to be enjoyable.

This study investigates how two teachers’ identities are negotiated in a situated educational context and how this affects the formation of student identities in an English mediated instruction (EMI) course. Since learning is defined as negotiation of identity there has been increasing research on teacher identity as pedagogy because the teacher’s identity is a major factor in managing the negotiation with students. This study looks at how the teachers’ cultural, socio-political, and educational philosophical identities are negotiated in the locally situated classroom and how these identities influence Korean university students in the formation of their identities. The results of the study comprise two sections. The teachers’ identity is discursively constructed in local socio-cultural discourse practice, and the teacher identity works as pedagogy. The other result shows that the teachers’ various identities serve as role models for students in their negotiations as they take up, resist, and shift between different identities. This study also suggests some implications for the use of the teacher education regarding identity.

Despite a growing interest in the role of written corrective feedback (CF) in L2development, not enough research has examined how learners actually process and understand linguistic information delivered in CF. Acknowledging the importance and necessity of process-oriented research into written CF, the present study investigated the extent to which Korean learners of English understood written CF they received from the teacher in writing classes. In addition, the study looked into whether the presence and quality of understanding of CF was related to learners’immediate uptake and retention of CF. Two intact writing classes and one native English teacher participated in the present research. The study found that a third of CF targeting grammar errors and a half of CF targeting vocabulary errors were correctly understood. The quality of the learners’ understanding of CF was closely related to their immediate uptake in terms of grammar but not in vocabulary; and the quality of their understanding was strongly related to retention in grammar and vocabulary.

This study investigated whether two different writing tasks (narrative and argumentative), elicit different lexical features. This study also attempted to identify the relationship between lexical features and the level of writing proficiency. Seventyeight university students wrote one narrative and one argumentative essay, with a 30-minute time limit for each task. A total of 156 essays were rated by eight raters using holistic rubrics, and then were divided into three levels of writing proficiency. The written products were analyzed for nine lexical variables: mean word length,Type/Token Ratio, Root TTR (RTTR), Corrected TTR (CTTR), lexical density, the most frequent 1000-word families, the second most frequent 1000-word families,academic word list, and lexical frequency. The main findings are twofold. First,paired t-test analysis revealed significant differences between the two discourse modes in eight lexical variables. Second, the results of one-way ANOVA, Welch ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation analysis indicated that RTTR and CTTR best discriminated between the different writing proficiency groups.

While the number of English-medium instruction (EMI) courses has increased in many EFL universities, relatively little attention has been paid to students who encounter language difficulties in EMI courses. In order to develop language support programs for Korean undergraduate students in foreign professors’ EMI courses, this study collected and analyzed the syllabi of target courses to identify what English language skills are necessary for these courses. Findings suggest that priority should be given to teaching research-oriented English skills such as academic writing skills, with particular emphasis on how to use primary and secondary sources. Furthermore,students need to acquire speaking skills based on an understanding of readings or lectures so as to participate in discussions and to make presentations. Given the greater number of opportunities to interact with foreign professors, it is necessary as well to teach the appropriate mode of speaking to them. This study also discusses the potential of syllabus analysis as a method to complement needs analysis and to develop language support programs for specific contexts.

This study examined the effects of peer feedback combined with teacher feedback on L2 writing. From a review of related studies, several factors were selected as predictors of L2 writing proficiency: L2 knowledge and composition skills, L2writing anxiety, and metacognitive knowledge on L2 writing. Participants were 75college students, who were randomly assigned to the experimental or the control group. Both groups received teacher feedback, while the experimental group performed peer feedback activities, and the control group did self-reflective revision in addition. Data were collected from teacher and peer feedback, timed writing, an L2writing anxiety survey, and evaluation of a sample essay. A statistical analysis revealed differences between teacher and peer feedback. Peer feedback combined with teacher feedback appeared to be beneficial for increasing L2 knowledge and lowering L2 writing anxiety. In the regression analysis, writing anxiety predicted the level of L2 knowledge and composition skills. Based on the findings, implications for L2 writing class and suggestions for future studies are presented.
