| Research Abstract |
1.The relationship between the 7^<th> National English Curriculum, in-service training for English teachers and actual English practices in primary and secondary schools in Incheon, South Korea was investigated.

It was found that all English practices are well supported by the English continuous education programmes organized by the Hai Dian Teachers' Training School. Less
