Why I am taking this course, Tesol?

Today, I think the problem with the English education system in Korea is

that most of children are becoming deaf. I mean that teachers are

focusing on teaching reading and writing over speaking. So, teachers

should understand this problem and use their teaching skills to solve it.

Ears and mouth are the best source for learning English.

So, first of all, speaking ability should be a first-step for beginners when

learning English. So, what do teachers need to do and how should they

teach the children? Teachers must give them lots of opportunities for

listening and speaking, they should also set up the environment of the

classroom in a way that will help learner approach English learning

naturally. In additional, the government has to train teachers to get better

at teaching and make a good system for the problem.

On weekdays, I am a teacher who is trying to teach English focused on

speaking skill, through this Tesol course. It will be a good way of teaching

and presently I have a big target for teaching English to children. Also,

Tesol will make me think about my teaching method and if I am going in

the wrong direction. I think it is a good chance to take Tesol now and it

will be a challenge for me. I would like to learn how to teach English to

children from this course. And I hope I can teach English very well, based

on speaking, after this course.

Let them speak English This is my purpose of taking Tesol! Good

luck to me!
