Since 1972, the Department of English Education has produced leaders and experts in the field of English education who play key roles in the future development of English education by equipping them with a profound knowledge in their field and fostering their capabilities to apply that acquired knowledge to the sites where they work. The students study the nature and structure of the English language while exploring a wide variety of English literary works, as well as achieving a comprehensive grounding in linguistics.
It also helps students to better understand the history of British and American literature. Additionally, it develops methods and methodology of teaching English in regard to curricula, teaching materials, and the theory of testing, among others.
As a result, students become more qualified with both commanding and capable teaching skills while also keeping pace with developments in information and globalization. These in-depth studies foster professional English teachers of secondary schools, as well as help graduate students study English philology, literature, and education.
A large number of graduates work at middle and high schools or English education-related institutes, government-sponsored organizations as teachers, consultants, professors, or administrators. Others become graduate students or go abroad to work or study.
We expect that the program will deepen the students’ insights into not only their own experience but also the collective experience of the society to which they belong and thus help students find a way to further study in medical science, dentistry, psychology, business, or education as well as in English. The graduates of English Education department play a key role as teachers, leaders, educational administrators, consultants, journalists, professors, or public officers at middle and high schools or English-related institutes, as well as government-sponsored organizations who actively participate in the field of English education. Those who have enthusiasm for pursuing their intellectual goals as professionals can apply for graduate courses at home and abroad and further their academic career in the areas of English language, literature, and education as researchers in these fields.
