Is it alright If we keep our teaching method ?

" Education aims to produce decent human beings not machines. "

korean's average education period is 9years. but there is few people who speak English perfectly. why we can't speak English well compare to education period ?  The problem may be in our education, in terms of our academic culture.

In korea, we use the input method as a main method, and I used it too. Most of the test demand Input as a Method. without input method it is hard to answer the test. Our English education emphasis grammar. In my case, I have experience with one teacher explain one sentence all day for example there is a sentence. I love him. teacher explain "I" is subject "is " is verb "him" is object as korean .Also past perpect is have p.p like this. teacher always teach english as korean. English is not mathmatic but teacher always explained the sentence. I just memorized that grammar and rules. we take test not communication test lather grammar test so we had to memorize English to get a good scores.

However, Input method are not always bad method . For advantages, you can get much of knowledge in a short time and you can use the memorization quickly. For example when memorizing multiple you can answer fast. As there is a saying memorizing without understanding, if you want to understand difficult knowledge, you have to memorize low rank knowledge. As another advantage, we can check student understanding by memorization. it is easy to evaluate student by test with this.  we use input as a method. But I want to place more emphasize on Humanistic Approaches. Method what student want is different individually. because their growing atmosphere and learning experiences are different so we have to watch individually and have to think which method would be good for individually that respect personal emotions and make student feel confortable when they learn so don't make they fear about the subjects what they learn.

To develop English education for children in asia, we have to create an atmosphere where students can study more by themselves and should focus on conversation. The most important thing is for teacher is to not just transmit knowledge but to teach life long skills. Rousseau said that, " Education aims to produce decent human beings not machines. " this mean is not give knowledge oneside to student like empasize a test  but to teach children skills that will use 10 years latert.

Our genersation experieced cramming education like Input method, Nowdays Fortunately, children are learning communication skills. Even there are many young children speaking English well more than me. This is evidence mean that English classes focus more on conversational skills than on grammar thesedays. children are small tree. I want to give good water and nutritions so that small tree can grow into strong and heathyful like . we should make good atmosphere to walk to good way to growing young children and create they can spontaneous participation excitingly. After all, it is for watching student grow just like trees.
