As Korea has recently become a multicultural society, English teachers acknowledge the need to address anti-racism in the classroom. However, how to raise students’ racial awareness and ways to incorporate racial issues into English language instruction have not been sufficiently studied in the Korean teacher education context. The aims of this study were to provide pre-service English teachers with a guide to implementing antiracist pedagogy in their language teaching and assessing its impact on their racial literacy development and to examine how pre-service English teachers’ racial literacy can be developed through multiple self-reflective practices and microteaching experiences in their teacher education programs. This paper first introduces an anti-racist curriculum for pre-service English teachers intended to raise their multicultural awareness, and then provides multiple educational resources and teaching strategies to help them become culturally responsive language teachers. The paper concludes with some pedagogical implications regarding the necessity of including culturally responsive teaching in teacher education programs.

There has been an increasing demand for effective on-line English teacher education programs due to the advantages including cost efficiency and easy access. Despite the provision of a variety of on-line English teacher education programs, only a small number of studies on on-line in-service education program for English teachers have been carried out. This study aims to provide a basic model of on-line in-service English language teacher education based on the critical awareness. To do this, previous studies on on-line in-service English language teacher education in Korea and abroad were critically reviewed and key issues were derived. They are top-down approach to on-line teacher education curriculum development, unsustainability of teacher education, disconnection of teacher education to practice, insufficient establishment of community of practice, and deficiency of reflection on teaching practice. Three on-line English teacher education programs were selected and evaluated by using these key issues. It is suggested that bottom-up approach to curriculum development, establishment of community of practice for the sustainability of teacher education, and reflective learning for connecting teacher education to real classroom practice be included as key components for effective on-line teacher education.

The main focus of the current article is to introduce and apply an evaluation model to an rNSET program for non-native speaking English teachers. The rationale behind why an rNSET program evaluation should make use of a synthesized approach to look at diverse variables from a balanced perspective is provided. While using the model as a guideline, this article explores the way quality drivers in an intensive teacher education program are interconnected to affect program quality. What/why/how the case study foreign teacher educator does needs to be examined through teacher trainees' perceptions and reactions, who better know context variables in their own classrooms. It turned out that the trainer's teaching quality was affected a lso by the socio-cultural variables within and beyond his classroom area. [n addition, it was revealed that discrepancies between stakeholders' beliefs and practices could lower the program quality as well. The article illustrates the process of how quality drivers and context variables affect each other to determine program quality and warrants more attention from ELT evaluators.

The purpose of this study is to present and explore current state and reform tendency of teacher education curriculum of Normal universities in China, focusing on curriculum provisions and training methods of pre-service teachers. For this purpose, the background of teacher education curriculum reform has been discussed at first from angles of society, the government and Normal Universities. It is obvious that China’s teacher education courses have attained internationally known achievements over the past decades and have supported the largest scale of basic education all over the world. The current focal problem of China’s teacher education is not the problem of teacher’s quantity, but quality. In order to adapt to the new situation and tendency, the Chinese government adjusted strategic direction and provided new guidance on teacher education for improving the quality. It includes the transformation of teacher education models from “planned training” to “market oriented control”; active support for improving teacher’s academic levels; implementation of the open-type teacher training pattern and so on. According to the government’s control and guidance, Normal Universities should also change training concepts and teacher education philosophy, mainly on enhancing quality-oriented education, emphasizing students’ sustainable self development ability, and attaching importance on the concept of lifelong education. Under this same background, teacher education universities show extreme similarity on curriculum reform. They all stick to the model of one basic training object, two elective specialty calibers for choice, three-dimensional crossed curriculum systems, four types of optional curriculums, five-in-one training patterns, and six aspects of surrounded general education courses. A lot of practice indicates that the reform of teacher education mode in universities is effective and rational to some extent. The model is worth refering to in teacher education curriculum reform, for most countries.

This paper is concerned with the ongoing influence of in-service teacher education upon teachers’ instructional behavior and attitudes. Thus the purpose of this study is to trace attitudinal and instructional changes after in-service teacher training and thereby identify either favorable or unfavorable factors affecting such changes in classroom settings. First, a survey was conducted to see which teacher training programs teachers preferred, uncover any changes in instructional behavior and attitudes as well as factors related to said changes, and gather suggestions for prospective teacher training programs. For additional data, four teachers’ reflective journals and interviews were analyzed. The results of the study were as follows: 1) teachers believed that a teacher’s techniques rather than their English proficiency have the most direct influence upon effective English instruction; 2) changes in both behavior and attitudes are observed for only a short period right after in-service teacher education; and 3) a major factor impeding change is the discrepancy between the English language curriculum and actual classroom instruction, which is largely due to the washback effect of the requirements of the Scholastic Aptitude Test required for college admission.

본 연구의 목적은 다문화교육을 위한 교사연수 내용을 분석함으로써, 현황을 파악하고 발전방안을 제시하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 현직교사를 대상으로 2016년도에 시행된 다문화 교육 집합연수 22개(630시수)와 원격연수 9개(225시수)의 교과목을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 집합연수는 ‘다문화 교육과정 및 교수․학습(30.63%)’, ‘다문화 학생․가정 이해 및 지원 (19.21%)’, ‘다문화교육․지도 사례 공유(국내외)(19.04%)’ 순으로, 원격연수는 ‘다문화사회․ 다문화교육 이해(29.15%)’, ‘다문화 학생․가정 이해 및 지원(23.32%)’, ‘다문화 교육과정 및 교수․학습(21.08%)’ 순으로 연수내용을 구성하고 있었다. 본 연구의 분석 결과를 바탕으로 다문화교육 교사교육의 향후 과제를 제시하였다.
