摘要：

This interview with Karen Choi, an instructor of teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) at Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea, addresses problems of teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) to North Korean refugees in South Korea. Ms. Choi taught thirty North Korean students in their late teens to thirties in fall 2007 in voluntary collaboration with the Seoul-based Korean Refugees Youth Christian Association (KRYCA). She discusses the students' backgrounds and learning preferences; ideology, politics, and gender issues in the EFL classroom; attitudes and motivation; and concludes with instructional advice. The interview was conducted on December 2, 2009, by Alzo David-West, newsbriefs editor for North Korean Review.
