한국 대학교 원어민 강사들의 영어 교수 탈동기 요인

초록

In this study, the demotivation factors of native English instructors at universities were analyzed based on their gender, major, educational degree, and teaching career. A total of 122 native English-speaking instructors from four-year universities were surveyed. The results are as follows. First, an analysis based on gender showed that female native instructors expressed more stress in their work than their male counterparts. Second, according to major, the instructors majoring in art showed a higher level of demotivation in the components of overwork. Also, these instructors perceived a higher level of demotivation in the components of insufficient self-efficiency than those majoring in English. Third, based on educational degree, native English instructors with doctoral degrees showed a high level of demotivation in the relationship with the students. Native English instructors with bachelor’s degrees showed demotivation in the category of the lack of knowledge. Finally, an analysis based on teaching career reported that the instructors with one or two years of teaching experience exhibited more stress in the components of heavy work and the lack of knowledge. The above findings imply that the recruitment system for native English instructors should be systematic, and it is necessary to hire native English-speaking instructors who majored in English or education. This study suggests that we need to strengthen training for native English-speaking instructors to understand Korean culture and Korean universities.
