Abstract

Kim, Nayu & Lee, Heechul. (2019). Influences of a native English teacher and roles of a co-teacher on L2 learners learning styles. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 27(4), 79-89. The purpose of this study is to analyze English learning styles of Korean high school students participating in a native English teachers class, and to discuss the roles of a co-teacher in improving the effectiveness of a native English teachers class. In this study, the learning styles of students were verified through a confirmatory factor analysis based on a structural equation model (SEM). The students who participated in the native teachers class showed four learning styles: active participation, goal orientation, systematic control, and sustainable interaction. Considering these four styles, the co-teacher should continuously provide feedback to the native English teachers lesson plan and materials so as to make students desire of the class properly sustained and improve the effectiveness of English learning. In addition, a co-teacher should discuss classroom English convincingly with a native English teacher. It improves a students understanding of a native English teachers speaking, while encouraging students to share the goals of class with him or her, overcome cultural differences and internalize a positive emotional bond in the class.
