The dominance of North American (U.S. and Canadian) English is widely prevalent in Korean English language teaching (ELT). Students show more positive attitudes towards American English than any other English variety (Jung, 2005; Yook & Lindemann, 2013), and teachers impart and reinforce American English norms (Ahn, 2017; Ahn, 2011). Administrators and employers consider American English as the sole model for Korean ELT (Ahn, 2013; Harrison, 2010; Jenks, 2017; Song, 2013). Koreans’ preference for American English dates back to the 1950s, when the first national ELT curriculum explicitly favored American English over British English (Lee, 2015). Since then the status of American English as the standard among all varieties of English has been strengthened due to Korea's strong political, military, and economic ties with the US (Harrison, 2010; Yim, 2007).

非北美英语教师在美式英语为主的韩国 ELT 中的经历:英语教学环境如何影响教师的生活和工作

北美(美国和加拿大)英语的主导地位在韩国英语语言教学(ELT)中广泛流行。与其他任何英语变体相比,学生对美式英语表现出更积极的态度(Jung,2005 年;Yook 和 Lindemann,2013 年),教师传授和强化美式英语规范(Ahn,2017 年;Ahn,2011 年)。行政人员和雇主认为美式英语是韩语 ELT 的唯一模式(Ahn,2013 年;Harrison,2010 年;Jenks,2017 年;Song,2013 年)。韩国人对美式英语的偏好可以追溯到 1950 年代,当时第一个国家 ELT 课程明确偏爱美式英语而不是英式英语(Lee,2015 年)。从那时起,由于韩国与美国牢固的政治、军事和经济联系,美式英语作为各种英语标准的地位得到加强(Harrison,2010; 严, 2007).
