Kim In-ok: Teaching English

Before we start the journey of teaching English to children, let us think about a fundamental issue. Why should a child learn a foreign language which takes so much time, energy, and cost in the learning process? Why do we teach elementary school children English when they have a lot of work to do in Korean? These are the questions that have been debated for many years in Korea and elsewhere. An answer can be found in a simple comparison. We need to learn English for the same reason as we need to learn the computer skill to live in the modern world (a majority part of the world, if not everywhere). People use the Internet to access resources and use computer programs to write reports or letters and to do business.
