“Korean university students’ perceptions of two extracurricular English programs.” New Korean Journal of English Language and Literature 59.2 (2017): xx-xx. Despite the Ministry of Educations’ guidelines for Korean schools to provide their students ways to achieve communicative competence through their high school English curriculum, many students graduate from high school with little or no experience actually using spoken English for authentic communication. Two programs offered at a private Korean university, Star English and English Corner, were created to give the students the opportunity to have more authentic communication with native speakers in an informal setting and without the pressure of being evaluated. Such opportunities are greatly desired by many Korean students and are often lacking in the formal university curriculum, due to an emphasis on studying for the TOEIC test. The two programs approach the issue in different ways. English Corner is run like a regular class with two native English speaking teachers and up to 40 students. Star English pairs each student with an instructor for a fifteen minute conversation. The present study’s aim was to determine students’ level of satisfaction for these two extracurricular English programs. One hundred and twenty eight students were surveyed and thirteen were interviewed. Through the survey and interviews the study found high levels of student satisfaction for both programs. However, student satisfaction was found to be significantly higher for the Star English program in all areas. The students believed both of the programs increased their general confidence in their English ability.
