Jeong, Dong-bin & Kim, Hye-jeong. “A Model of Online Training Programs for Childhood English Teachers.” Studies on English Language and Literature. 33.3(2007): 257-286. The purpose of this study is to construct a system for continuing education while developing a model for online childhood English education training that will improve the following skills: communicative competence and improved teaching techniques. In order to accomplish this, first, the current status of online training programs in Korea was evaluated and areas of improvement were sought, second, a survey of childhood English teachers who wished to participate in training programs regarding methodology and contents was undertaken and analyzed. With these results as a starting point, a system for online training programs for childhood English language teachers was designed, and three different models were developed. The models are as follows: for private institutions and professional associations an Online Basic CETS-TESOL Program(2 weeks/20 hours), an Online Supplementary CETS-TESOL Program(6 weeks/60 hours), and the Online Intensive CETS-TESOL Program(12 weeks/120 hours). Combining the programs developed through this study and the programs offered by institutions that require student attendance would undoubtedly substantially increase the effectiveness of training programs.
