About this book

An international conference was held on "Efforts of Asian Countries to Enhance ESL Learners' Communicative Competence" at Soong Sil University in October, 1996. At the conference, precious papers were presented by distinguished scholars both from Korea and abroad. This book is the collection of the papers presented there. Some of the papers were revised afterward for further refinement. We are convinced that all these papers offer significant insight into the commmunicative English education in Asian countries.
