AB - This study explored teachers’ and parents’ perceptions in Korean English kindergarten regarding early English education, teaching and learning environment, English kindergarten teachers, and the teaching method. It was conducted in an English kindergarten in Daejeon, Korea. Qualitative design method was used in the study. Data was collected through the interviews with native-speaking teachers, Korean teachers, and parents. The results of the study show that early English education is effective for Korean children, and it does not have negative influence on the children’s Korean acquisition. This study also revealed that content-based instruction is appropriate for children's English improvement, and teaching Western culture does not disturb the children's identity formation, rather enriches their knowledge. In addition, both native-speaking teachers and Korean teacher need to have collaboration for successful language education. In addition, teacher training program is suggested for better curriculum and teacher development.
