This paper specifically aims to examine conceptual and empirical studies on the evolution of English Language Teaching (ELT) worldwide and its progression affecting ELT in South Korea. A systematic review was used as the research methodology. A number of significant articles from top-tier journals and book chapters were analysed utilising a content analysis, to gain evidence-based solutions. This paper begins with the outset of EIL (English as an International Language) in general, and examines a paradigm shift concerning the prestige norms such as American English (AmE) and British Received Pronunciation (RP). This paper heavily emphasizes on the condition of English Language Teaching in South Korea, and what theoretical foundations can be utilized to English language program in South Korea. Furthermore, this paper critically investigates the interconnectedness complexities between English and the national language, along with the attitudes toward native and non-native English-speaking teachers. The findings reveal some particular recommendations which can be undertaken to reconceptualize the language policy, teachers’ recruitment and curriculum developments in South Korea.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a practical and reliable test to assess second language pragmatic knowledge as well as to investigate the effect of study abroad experience and proficiency level on EFL learners’ pragmatic competence. A total 59 participants, consisting of 34 females and 29 males, were categorized into groups based on their exposure to the target language and proficiency. The results show that the reliability of the test reaches ?=.798 which means it is acceptable for a language test. Further development of test items is required to achieve more adequate test reliability. The findings also suggest that learners' pragmatic knowledge can be influenced by both study-abroad experience and linguistic competence. These factors may contribute to learners' ability to appropriately respond to pragmatic utterances from the test. Thus, language learners should focus on increasing their linguistic proficiency to enhance their understanding and use of pragmatic language. This study underscores the importance of designing effective language pragmatic tests that incorporate a variety of pragmatics components and comprehensive instruments to achieve the desired test reliability and validity.

Advancements in technology are crucial in achieving the goals of Society 5.0. To achieve this goal, teaching-learning process must be equipped to digital media technologies. As mastering speaking skills is considered as the most challenging aspect in language learning, the aim of this research is to investigate the impact of an interactive learning setting on students' engagement and motivation. Equally significant, to identify best practices for integrating digital media into teaching speaking. This study employed a mixed-methods, combining qualitative and quantitative to comprehend and answer the phenomena. Researchers collected the data by using surveys, observation, and speaking tests. Survey responses and test results were summarized using quantitative analysis. While qualitative analysis was used for observation, it was analyzed to identify common themes and insights about the use of digital media to teach speaking skills. The results of observation showed that interactive learning activities improved students' engagement and motivation in learning speaking skills, and the results of the speaking tests proved that the students' speaking skills improved. Survey results showed that using social media (TikTok) as a digital platform for teaching speaking is the best practice for integrating digital media in enhancing speaking skills within the framework of Society 5.0. This study has significant implications for education, especially in terms of incorporating digital technologies into teaching and learning practices. These findings will be useful for educators, policymakers, and institutions looking to improve learning outcomes in the digital age while also adhering to Society 5.0 principles.
