great deal of research has been produced in recent years in local journals. In this article we
review 95 studies from a pool of some 1,200 published between 2009 and 2014 on English
language teaching and learning, focusing on research within the public school context. Using
themes from the national curriculum as an organizing principle, the review covers selected
studies in the following areas: (1) second language teacher education, (2) communicative
language teaching, (3) language use and interaction in classrooms, (4) co-teaching with
native-speaking English teachers, (5) curriculum and materials analysis, (6) treatments of
teaching methods, and (7) assessment, testing and washback. We include commentary on the
research undertaken in each area and conclude by discussing the limitations of the review and
summarizing ideas for future research directions, perhaps the most important of which is
questioning whether or not there is enough research of reasonable quality being produced to
sustain roughly 60 journals publishing articles on English education in South Korea.
