초등교사의 ‘영어수업의 어려움’에 대한 영어교육 경력별 대응방식 연구

A Study on Ways of Dealing with ‘Teaching Difficulties in English Class’ by Elementary School Teachers

초록/요약

본 연구는 초등교사가 영어수업을 하면서 겪는 어려움에 대한 대응방식을 기술, 이해, 해석함으로써 교사의 영어수업 전문성 신장을 돕기 위한 방안을 탐색하고자 하였다. 영어교육 경력을 고려하여 22명의 초등교사를 눈덩이 표집방법을 활용하여 선정하고 심층 면담을 실시하여 질적 자료의 일반적인 분석과정과 Nvivo 11.0 프로그램을 활용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 영어수업의 어려움에 대해 영어교육 저경력 교사들은 ‘교사 자신을 향한 것’을 중심으로 대응하려고 하지만, 고경력 교사들은 교사 자신뿐 아니라 ‘외부로부터의 것’을 통해 대응하며 경험이 축적되면서 신장된 영어수업 전문성을 바탕으로 대응하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 영어교육 저경력 교사들에게는 ‘지속적인 연습’을 하도록 유도하고, 고경력 교사들을 위해 교사 학습공동체와 같은 파트너쉽을 활용하여 다양한 측면에서 반성적 수업 실천을 할 수 있도록 도와주어야 할 필요가 있다.

This study was to explore how to improve elementary teachers’ teaching profession by describing, understanding, and interpreting how they’re treating ‘teaching difficulties in English class’ according to their teaching experiences. The in-depth interviews were implemented to 22 elementary teachers to understand their treating method for difficulties of teaching English in class and to analyze their characteristics of the treating method based on teaching experience. The result showed that the methods for treating difficult situations that teachers who have more than 3 years of English education career are different from teachers who have less than 3 years of English education career. The less experienced teachers focus on themselves by trying to find the teacher-centered methods for treating difficulties. But the experienced teachers see outer factors and they ask help from co-teachers or students to treat difficulties. They believe participating in teachers' communities is a good way to get ideas and to cooperate. It was concluded that the less experienced teachers need to strengthen their identity as English teacher by continuous practice, as for experienced teachers they need to improve their teaching profession by providing opportunities to consider how they respond in the complex and diverse environment when they teach English by using partnership from learning communities.
