Chapter 10 examines English education in South Korea during the Sixth National Curriculum period (1992–1997), a time closely aligned with the country’s rapid globalization in the 1990s. Under President Kim Young-sam’s civilian government, English became central to the national agenda of Segyehwa (globalization), symbolizing international competitiveness. A major educational shift was the replacement of the National Academic Ability Test with the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) in 1993. For the first time, the CSAT included a listening comprehension section, producing strong positive washback and redirecting English education toward communicative skills rather than rote grammar and vocabulary memorization. Another landmark change was the nationwide introduction of English as a regular subject for third-grade elementary students in 1997, reflecting growing public consensus on the importance of early English education. At the same time, private English education expanded rapidly, including TOEIC preparation, cram schools, and study-abroad programs, leading to concerns about educational inequality, often described as the “English divide.” Overall, this period marked a decisive shift toward communication-oriented English education shaped by globalization pressures.
