Cultural Project

[Tia McArtis]

I have attached my cultural project with the sources on the last slide. In short, my project was about why Korean learn English and why English is so important in Korea. I suggested that Koreans learn years and years of English, not to communicate with native speakers, but to get higher scores on tests and to become more competitive in the work force. English learning focused on solving problems rather than communication skills. After the goal is reached, English is usually forgotten and not practiced. I also included a video that shows Koreans who have learned up to 17 years of English but struggling to speak to a native speaker.
