I will teach an English
course from 4/30~6/4 with a course title
of Let’s learn English in the world of
Web2.0. in the Light of Love Mission Church(LOLMC). I am very happy to have
a chance to get back to the church what I have owed since I came to LOLMC.
First of all, I have to
think of why I want to teach English in the church. What made me think of
teaching? I come upon many ideas of what my close deaconesses have said to me
with the fact that they are eager to learn English. Though they have lived in
U.S for more than 10 or more so, their level of English ceased as there have
been rare opportunity for them to learn English unexpectedly.
Most of them have
inferiority complex of English. The population in the church consists of Korean
immigrant. I am not sure of that what percentage of 1st generation, and
what percentage of 2nd or 3rd to 4th
generation takes charge of the church, but I came to know the first Korean
generation who I know has difficulty in communicating in real society. Most of
them appeal to stress, kind of pain, inferiority, frustration, but eagerness to
learn English. They had lost chances to learn English at the beginning of their
immigrant due to the childcare, household duties, and financial difficulty,
Another obstacle
they have for language learning is lack of motivation.
They think they don’t’
need to try to learn English any more as even though they live in U.S., they
live in the limited society of Korean community without big difficulties.
This is my
challenge!!!
