Abstract

Nowadays, English Language Education is a trending issue in many countries, as it has become a lingua franca for globalization. The proficiency in that foreign language is a basis for international cooperation and development. That is why many countries have been working for implementing different policies to enhance and improve English as a Foreign Language in schools. This paper provides an overview of the Critical Success and Failure Factors in EFL education in El Salvador and South Korea. The first chapter presents general information on English language education as part of the globalization process. The second and third chapters explain the different EFL education policies implemented in both El Salvador and South Korea in the past few decades. The fourth chapter analyzes the EFL programs of both countries based on the language policies suggested in the paper Language-in-education policy and planning by Kaplan and Baldauf in 2005. Finally, this paper concludes with a brief explanation about the EFL education in both countries based on the Critical Success Factors of English language education in South Korea.
