영문 초록

The purpose of this study is to examine the causes of inhibitions regarding students’ willingness to communicate (WTC) in a certain English program and instruction of a university in central South Korea. This study focuses on cultural as well as educational issues and learners’ perception in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes in a university. In an effort to explore the importance of investment for those selected students’ English improvement, the major focus of this research was how the participants take part in their university English program. A qualitative design method was employed to investigate the participants’ intent. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews or by e-mails. The results of the study indicate that the participants’ attitude towards the current grammar and reading comprehension-based curriculum in EFL in Korea had a negative influence on students’ English acquisition and willingness to communicate in English in the classes. Therefore, developing a course that may promote learners’ communicative skills for active participation is suggested.
