Preparing Adaptive English Teachers for the Future!
Welcome to the Department of English Education at Gyeongsang National University.
Since taking its first step in English teacher education in 1971, our department has spent more than five decades cultivating talented educators at the heart of English education. The achievements of our alumni, who now serve in schools across Gyeongnam and throughout Korea, are a source of great pride for our department and a meaningful guide for students who are just beginning their journey toward becoming English teachers. | |

The Department of English Education at Gyeongsang National University is committed to preparing highly competent English teachers through a balanced integration of theory and practice. Our students develop a strong foundation in disciplinary knowledge and then refine their own approaches to teaching through school-based practicum experiences, teaching demonstrations, and practice-oriented coursework closely connected to the realities of the classroom. This dynamic learning process becomes even more meaningful when students learn, reflect, and communicate with their peers, seniors, and juniors. In a supportive community where students design lessons together, exchange feedback, and encourage one another, they grow not merely as competitors, but as educational partners who will shape the future of English education together. Finally, our department views the educational changes brought about by artificial intelligence (AI) as an opportunity for new growth. While continuing to value the essential principles of English education that we have long upheld, we aim to take a leading role in preparing AI-integrated English education professionals who can use advanced AI tools effectively and expand the possibilities of classroom teaching. As technology continues to advance, teachers’ ability to understand, support, and connect with students becomes an even more irreplaceable quality. We believe that graduates of our department, equipped with both technological expertise and human sensitivity, will become key agents of change in the education of tomorrow. Your journey toward making your dreams a reality begins here. The Department of English Education will stand beside you as a reliable partner, and we look forward to shaping a meaningful future together. 2026. 3. 2. Miran Kim | |
