창의·인성 함양을 위한 학교중심 영어교육 프로그램 사례 연구

In the National English Curriculum of Korea, creativity and personality education is considered to be essential pedagogical components of school education; the incorporation of creativity and personality instruction in elementary, middle, and high school classroom teaching is recommended. The present study aimed to explore the ways in which creativity and personality education have been integrated into English language classrooms based on the analysis of English education programs for developing creativity and personality at schools appointed as English Education Model Schools by the Ministry of Education in Korea. Out of 128 English Education Model Schools, the researchers selected 74 sample cases of English education programs for developing creativity and personality, analysed and categorized them into seven different types based on their objectives, content, and characteristics. The findings show that while the total numbers of English education programs implemented in each school-level were similar, certain types of programs were more frequently found in one school-level than the other. By qualitatively analysing each program, this study attempts to extract commonalities among the programs practised in schools under various conditions, and further examines the ways creativity and personality elements have been integrated into English education programs.
This study ultimately aims to support English teachers interested in creativity and personality instruction through English language teaching.
