CHALLENGING QUESTIONS OF THE DAY

1. Do you teach a person to swim by lecturing at them and by showing videos?  Then why is English taught this way?

2. People learn best by using English in authentic situations, so why are we still emphasizing rote-memorization and test taking skills?

3. Can a student learn English when the Korean, and not the English language, is used by the educator?  Why is this still done in 2016?

4. Why do students cheat?

5. Why do Koreans go overseas, sometimes for several years, but return knowing nothing about the hot county's culture and language?
