Abstract
This study investigated native English-speaking teachers' beliefs about Korean EFL learners. Participants consisted of 3 Americans and 15 Canadians, who were on a university teaching staff in Korea. Data collection employed questionnaires and interviews. Results revealed that participants perceived that (1) students viewed English as a class or a test; (2) class dynamics and educational systems adversely influence students EFL learning; (3) group- oriented activities were popular; and (4) studying Korean language and culture were worthwhile. Regarding teaching strategies, participants endeavored to take English out of textbooks and relate it to reality so that students create their own language.
