English language acquisition has become increasingly important to South Koreans as they strive to compete in the globalized economy. As the demand for English education has increased, the Korean government has responded by, among other initiatives, creating the English Program in Korea (EPIK). This program brings native English speakers from Anglophone countries to South Korea, as assistant English teachers. This paper reports the findings of a survey given to over 1,000 Korean elementary and middle school children. The students were asked several questions on a Likert scale to gauge their opinions on a variety of aspects of their EPIK teachers. Broadly speaking, the respondents indicated high levels of satisfaction with their teachers across all questions.

Gross (2003) and Lobel (1989) both note that, because the lines demarking emergency and normalcy have become increasingly blurred, emergency laws often remain in force well beyond the crisis that was their genesis. Gross argues in favor of an extra-legal model of emergency response, in part to deal with the observed persistence of emergency laws. It is important to note there are other mechanisms through which emergency laws might persist. In particular, once a law has been passed in response to a crisis, government officials may simply find an alternative justification for the law, in order to perpetuate it. Through an examination of the Lex Oppia, an ancient example of emergency legislation that remained in force for many years after the emergency had passed, this paper will examine this phenomenon.
