Abstract

This paper studies perception of Teaching English Through English(TETE) based on a survey conducted with 162 student and 60teachers of Elementary school from Busan. The findings of the study are as follows. First, most teachers who participated in this survey have said that they feel TETE is necessary and effective with TETE. but they thought that students evaluated low about concentration and interest rate. Second, the teachers made effort in various parts for TETE. Especially, they put training to practical use. However they are unsatisfied with the experience. Third, the teachers feel uncomfortable with TETE, but they have said confidential about that. They believed TETE is difficult because of the large size of class, different level of the students English ability and the teacher's lack of English oral proficiency. Forth, the students surveyed expressed a desire for their teachers to use English in various level in class. They especially wanted their teachers to use more 'Classroom English', but they wanted the same rate of Korean and E nglish in the other periods. The higher scoring students wanted that teachers to use more English than the lower scoring students. Fifth, the students showed a positive attitude toward TETE along with a high level of interest, comprehensive faculty and confidence. But they thought that TETE could not be helpful in enhancing students' English ability. The findings of the study suggest some useful tips for making TETE more successful. First, the teachers asked for more opportunities to get domestic or oversea's language training . More opportunities for language training will forster more competent teachers. Second, for active English classes with many interactions between students and teachers, the class size should be reduce and the division of classes should be considered according to students' English competence. Third, the time for teaching material development and class research should be secured. To help TETE acquire high success, it is necessary for the government's intensive support.
