{"title":"Self-Directed Learning: Exploring the Continuous Professional Development of Native English-Speaking Teachers in South Korea","authors":"C. Binnie, Joshua Wedlock","doi":"10.18823/asiatefl.2022.19.3.8.871","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18823/asiatefl.2022.19.3.8.871","url":null,"abstract":"It has been argued that self-directed professional development is a necessary component of continuous, lifelong teacher learning. Research has predominantly focused on top-down, institution-mandated professional development, however, a paucity of data exists concerning self-directed teacher professional development. Therefore, the aim of this project was to explore the self-directed professional development that native English-speaking teachers (NESTs) in South Korea engaged in, as well as assess if these behaviors matched their stated beliefs about self-directed professional development. Employing a mixed-methods approach, data was collected from 56 teachers who completed online questionnaires, and 11 teachers who participated in follow-up interviews. Analysis revealed that in the 12 months prior to the study, only 35 teachers engaged in self-directed professional development. Findings indicated that the teachers who held education degrees and were interested in an EFL/ESL career were the most likely to engage in self-directed professional development. Of the participants that did not engage in self-directed professional development, the preeminent factors hindering involvement were a lack of ambition and/or ambivalence, lack of necessity, a shortage of career advancement prospects, and the COVID-19 pandemic. It could be concluded that most NESTs in the study did not engage in enough professional development to increase student learning outcomes. © 2022 AsiaTEFL All rights reserved.","PeriodicalId":51808,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia TEFL","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48209888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Revisiting Key Issues in Applying the Communicative Approach in Korea : Follow up after 26 Years of Implementation","authors":"Jihyeon Jeon, Judy Yin","doi":"10.18823/asiatefl.2022.19.3.12.962","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18823/asiatefl.2022.19.3.12.962","url":null,"abstract":"While CLT has continued to be one of the most widely applied approach in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) worldwide, there has been numerous studies that have pointed out various obstacles in applying CLT in the East Asian context. Jeon (1997) identified key issues in implementing CLT in the Korean context and followed up on the same issues in Jeon (2009) to examine whether there had been any changes after 12 years of implementation. In particular, three research questions were considered: 1) What are the key issues in applying the communicative approach in Korea? 2) Is there an order of priority in the importance of these issues? and 3) Are there any changes in the importance of these issues after 12 years of implementation? The results showed that while some new issues had come up, the top key issues had remained the same. This was a surprising finding since there had not been any major changes in the top key issues 12 years after the first study and pointed out the persistent need to seek out obstacles over the years. As there had been a global upheaval in the educational context due to COVID-19, major changes in English education was expected. Accordingly, this study is another follow up study that focused on revisiting key issues regarding the implementation of CLT in the Korean EFL context. In order to identify the key issues, a three-round Delphi technique was used. A total of 36 teachers participated in identifying the key issues, ranking the issues and revisiting the ranked issues to see if there needs to be any adjustments. The results showed that, after 26 years of implementation, some of the key issues had been modified and have either increased or decreased their importance. While there were some issues that have newly emerged, the issues that had stayed in the top ranking have remained the same. This calls for an urgent need to address such issues as the curriculum continues to stress the importance of CLT in Korea. Without ameliorating the hindering factors, proper implementation of CLT will be challenging for English teachers in Korea. © 2022 AsiaTEFL All rights reserved.","PeriodicalId":51808,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia TEFL","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42629617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
