초록

This study attempts to develop a teacher training program for primary school teachers using English storybooks. The program is designed based on a thorough literature review and a needs analysis of primary school English teachers. The literature review sheds new light on the importance of professional development of primary school teachers and the effectiveness of using English storybooks in English education. The needs analysis was conducted by questionnaire. Sixty-two elementary school English teachers participated in the study. A majority of participants (93.6%) responded that they needed supplementary materials other than the textbook and teachers guidebook distributed by the school, while 87.1% used English storybooks in their classes. Most teachers showed a positive attitude towards using English storybooks in their classes and acknowledged the necessity of teacher training programs to help them teach English using the books. Participants responded that they wanted to learn how to organize teaching using storybooks according to grades, tell the story effectively in class, and choose the right storybooks. Based on this needs analysis, a 30-hour teacher training program was designed. This study offers practical suggestions for primary school English teachers, educators, and program developers who want to integrate English storybooks into the regular English curriculum.
