This study investigated how the NESTs reflect themselves from their teaching experiences and how their reflections are implied to Korean English Education. The participants were the four NESTs who taught English conversation classes in one of the universities in Busan. The data were collected in the spring semester of 2010 by conducting personal interviews, email exchanges with the researcher, and open-ended surveys. The data were analyzed through content analysis. Salient patterns were identified through the coding. The themes(findings) include that: 1) perspectives on English education in macro and micro level, and on their own identity; 2) views on teaching pedagogy including pedagogical strategies, students' attitudes towards class engagement, and conversational styles and thinking processes; and 3) educational suggestions including for the government, teaching methods, and effective English learning. In the findings section, more detailed information for the themes is provided.
