For the effective education of tense and aspect, teachers should have students enable to distinguish tense from time when they are taught tense and aspect. In addition, it is necessary that they should carefully examine example sentences of present and past time and give their students clear sample sentences which they can use in their conversational situations. This study shows that teaching and learning tense and aspect separately is more effective than doing so with the system where aspect is incorporated with tense. The study also shows that the explicit instruction of tense and aspect helps the students use them more fluently and that it is helpful to have them notice the differences between the tense-aspect systems of Korean and English. This is especially so when the students learn the English perfect aspect. (Kongju National University)
