We are living in globalization era.Things have been being changed so fast and

we need to learn how to do, what to do countinously through all our life.

Students needs to be careful for saving energy, time, cost so that they can choose

accurate and effective methods of learning even though there is full of teaching

methods.

Also as a teacher, the way, how to teach should be adjustded to the diffenreces of

students like which level and what kind of intelligenses they have, in which way

they react efficiently and others. In this "globalization" generation we are also

asked to be a good communicator for making something successful in various

fields like businesss, promoting, studying abroad, traveling and others. Nowadays

people often go abroad or work with foreigners and for communicating with whom

have so various backgrounds, learning second or third is important.

As for me, I am very curious with learning languages so I started to learn

Japanese, German, English and Italian language. I am still on the way of practicing

to be in fluent.

For learning foreign languages efficently I tried various ways and also have good

expriences that improved my language ability go to higher level in short time.

When I was university student,I was supposed to study international politics in

Germany.  I started studying German Language so that i can catch up other

students and survive in Germany which was totally unfamiliar with me at that

time.  At first I focused on having grammatical knowledges and Lexis according to

class project of proffessor who was explainer at university. Teaching way of him

was usually reading text books, explaing on the board and keep going on the

progress of classwork with no care of students.

That class was very boring so other students lost will to learn easily. Even

though I was so studious students who wanted to improve intergrated-skill, I could

not avoid to be focus much more on receptive skills than productive skills. Since I

found that problem, I had decided to join in German Language Summer Camp for

50days in German village which consists in family related with German directly or

indirectly.Living environment there in German's way and studying in groups with

German professors, 3 of involvers and another 3 of enablers, who just speak

Germans with multiple materials was so effective to assimilate naturally. And also

at the begining of class , students were debided to 3 groups  according to level

based on oral and writing test. Teachers were shown us how to pronouce certain

sound it doesnt exist in Korean Language , Role playing physically according to

their level. Every class we sang one German song with beatiful lyics, it also made

students to be curious with next class .  All they was totally opened to give and

recieve feedbacks all the time and students were exposed to situation to practicing

and imitating others who are good. For me the best factor that i could develop

language ability was being courageous to try to use German whatever it is write or

wrong.

As a teacher, this expereience, It has great meaning for me to prepare class plan

to improve student's language skills in efficient way. That is why I refer this way

of teaching when i teach students too.  Especially I try to focus on leadinng

students to be more courageous to learning in various way with communication

with no fear. I will learn hard as a students and also be professional as a teacher

through experience.
