Abstract

English proficiency and technology competence have become key factors in determining access to international power, and in Korea the dominance of English and technology has played a great role as an essential element or incentive in many aspects of daily life, for example, entrance to and graduation from the proper university or selection in the right job market. Those who can access these two elements can obtain and secure their position educationally and, ultimately, socially (M. Kim, 2004). English Language Teaching (ELT) and studying English are more than just teaching a subject or learning a foreign language; rather, they are a major educational factor for the survival of businesses in Korea. As a consequence, as government policies and strategies have constantly changed over the past 40 years to meet international standards of English education, and entrepreneurs in the English education industry have continued to grow.
