What language areas do you think you want work on to be a well qualified English teacher?

These days, more and more people are concentrating on improving their ability to speak in English. In the past, particulary in Korea, English education is mainly focused on English grammar and Reading comprehesion. I am not sure about why this situation occured, however we can say that it is different now. In fact, there are a lot of news saying that current english education is being changed to improve the actual ability to make students have a good command of comprehensive English. For example, the government tries to recruit some teachers who can deliver a lecture in only English.
So, I think i should keep pace with the times or might die out as a incompetent English teacher. If someone is to be a English teacher here and now, he should not be content with just an ability to have a talk with native speakers but can deliver a full lecture in English. I know this takes a very long time and troubles. However the different age and the different consumers of English education compel us to provide the good-quality English lecture which can make students exposed to English freely and frequently.
In brief, I want to study about speaking well, i mean, whetever it is, i want to have a full command of speaking English like native speakers.

What type of learner are you??

The MBTI test result revealed that I'm one of the INFJs. I believe this result is quite exact.
Generally speaking, INFJs are introverted and sometimes regrettable because they usally try to contribute to the welfare of other people. Also they like helping others. FAMOUS INFJs are Gandhi, Hilary Clinton and Martin Luther King.
To name a few more characteristics, they have strong a nonverbal sensibility and look quite quiet. I really agree with what it said about having friends. It said that Infjs are very selective in having a friendship because they have kind of a strong and strict standard on right or wrong. Well, I agree with a little bit the result that infjs are not the ones who express themselvs actively, rather keep pinions in them.
I think the group discussion is very good and effective in learning, but looking back on me, I often prefer expressing myself in writing to having a discussion. considering this. This is , i believe, the most remarkable thing that i have known from the result.

Myths about English

Some myths we had in the class are quite interesting... they are..

1.NES is always better in teaching Eng.

2.Tongue condition makes a big difference in pronouncing English.

3.Studying abroad is neccessary in achieving high quality english proficiency.

4.Just listening to something in English makes someone speak fluently in English.

What type of English teacher do you want to be?

In fact, most of us are not accustomed to having such a comfortable(!)conversation with native English teachers. When ordinary students(who just don't have chances to communicate with native speakers freely in classes) have a chance to talk with
Native speakers, they are just sweating and getting nervous. Well so do I. If lucky, teachers try to understand the meaning of what they just said about and help them. I believe we just learn languages, whatever they are, in order to make ourselves understood in them. I don't think we learn languages to boast of our doing well in grammar or something. The basic and most important goal is giving and receiving our thoughts freely in any other languages.
So, i want to be an English teacher who is very friendly, which means students can have a talk with me freely in English. Well, in order to do that, i should try to make such an environment for them to be exposed to English very much and not to input English into them but to make them feel the peace ultimately throught their whole body by speaking in English.
