Nowdays, Learning second language is no longer rare case in globalization. There are huge demands and increasing opportunities in learning second language in Korea. Many Koreans are trying to learning second language and enrolling at private academy to improve their competitiveness. However, when they learn second language, it is wondering if they are satisfied with learning language in class. Quality of teaching language and the environment surrounding students can be factor satisfying the students. We need to consider totality of leaning second language acquisition once.

Many Asian countries Including Korea have been surrounding around inferior education environment such as too many students in limited class. Due to Teachers in similar environment had been educated in limited methods, most of them tend to teach Second language to students in limited way. It led many students to lost interest easily to learn language, moreover it happened that some of students tended to avoid to learn language. Related to this situation, I would like to discuss about the environment and quality of Teaching in Korea.

When I learned second language in childhood, there were around 50 students in the class. That's nomal at that time. The class rooms were not spacious much for students and we should sit down on the chair and listened to the class all day. Teachers had kept talking using board and called sometimes student's name to read the text book. The classes were in progress like that. As you can see, there were not much any activities in the class. It seemed to be impossible. To make worse, in language class, we studied language for test. That is I learned the second language for just test.

As a result, I had less chance to speak langue in realistic which made it harder to learn language. But fortunately, recent the number of students have been declining in the class according to the policy of the government and there are various methods developing nowadays. If I learn language interestingly under circumstances, it would be a good memory or habits to learn language for me.

Quality of teaching as well as educational environment is important factor in learning language for students. Due to teacher major impact on students, the role of qualified teacher is crucial for students. Good teacher influences to students' lives.  For instance, when I was in the middle school, a teacher called my name and ask me to read the text book. After reading, the teacher pointed out my wrong pronunciation and she got me embarrassed. At that moment, I was teenager who was vulnerable, so still I remember that bad memory and it prevent me from learning actively. Teacher attitudes can affect on students. A negative side of teacher would affect student's life, so quality of teacher is important. Therefore, teachers should realize that teacher would be a mentor of students. Teachers need to remind themselves of being professional.
