Learning Reflections 5
Seminar in English Language Teaching
On Tuesday 7 of February, I discussed about “The Roles of
English Language Education in Asian context” of Bok-Myung Chang (from
Namseoul University) with my group. This study surveys the
history of English Language and the roles of English language Education in
Asian context. This research focuses to survey the development of English
language and define the role of English language Education in Asian countries;
Singapore, Philippine, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan and Korea.
We discussed that;
English came to play very strong influence over many Asian
countries, it is closely related to the dispersals of English which consists of
three kind of dispersals. The first one involved the migration. The second one
involved the colonization such as Singapore, Philippine, Malaysia. And the last
one involved the trade such as Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Japan and Korea.
The
role of English language Education in Asian countries can be defined into three
categories;
1.
To recognize the importance of non-native
speakers interaction in communicating through English and create the
environment to activate their interactions in daily life
2.
To emphasize the bi-directionality in communicating
in globalized world
3.
To acknowledge the effectiveness of non-native
speakers
Bi-directionality to communicate
in globalized world
Nowadays,
we need exposure to speakers from different cultural background; we should
recognize the differences, learn English and be aware of the differences in use
of English. The most important is; you have to know and speak at least 2
languages.
English language teachers:
non-native speaker of English
A
good English teacher should be able to apply different strategies and create
innovation and interesting activities that learners are interested.
I find easy from this research is
the easy vocabulary and easy language that she use explain in research; easy to
understand and know what she want to say to reader.
I find different from some
concept that it is not clear for me, for example Korea; When English came to
Korea and how is it come?, etc.
My attitude is good because I can
read the research, and then I can understand the research truly.
