ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the cognitive and behavioural attitudes of English teachers towards Korean English (KoE). It analyzes English teachers’ attitudes towards KoE in South Korea. Korean English teachers and foreign English teachers were likely to have occurred due to the variety that foreign English teachers speak. Yongin-4 regarded KoE as ‘a sub branch of Asian English’ and also called it Konglish. The most frequent examples of Konglish words used by participants were ‘hand phone’ and ‘eye shopping’. The chapter deals with the analysis related to participants’ acknowledgement of KoE as a developing variety of English, followed by their behaviour-related attitude towards the use of KoE in various speaking contexts. I. P. Martin’s comments were similar in some aspects but he believed that KoE was a strand of the Korean language rather than a developing variety of English.
