There are currently two English courses offered at Korean universities: General
English and English in EFL. The first is taught to college freshmen and focuses mainly
on a general knowledge of the English language because it is part of the general
education requirements. The course aims to cultivate college students’ general
knowledge of literature, philosophy, history, and science through English. The other
course focuses more on developing English abilities that college students are expected
to acquire. While the former focuses on the contents of reading material, the latter
emphasizes the practical aspects of English learning [6]. Traditionally, General English
has dominated college English instruction in Korea. However, most colleges have
begun to favor the second English course, stressing practical English, which is changing
the paradigm of English education at Korean colleges.
