Do Korean students have the same, views regarding English to other nationals? Do you heard them laying down their thoughts about this language and its influence bring to them? The video shows that English language is really powerful. It even softens the heart of Koreans. It creates a big slum to them.

Most of their parents see to it that their children are learning well, as well as, as possible, should learn English language too! They even take chances and sacrifice to let their children go abroad to study, so long as the quality of English education is their. As what those students in the video were saying, they want to learn English because it is powerful, it is their stepping stone and edge to get a good job in the future.

It shows that, looking for job there in their place is not easy if you are not fluent and good in English. Thus, it indicates that every one of them must consider and actualize English language. It even comes to the point that they are idolizing too much the English people. Thus, they relied to them too much in terms of educating their children. Most of them think that, if one is educate in English language, there is more world, more prosper and lucks.

I have known students having the same reasons and views with the students in the video. They are Hyo Jung Kim (Julie Kim is her English name) and Han Park (Lyn park is her English name).

Currently, they are here in the Philippines, they were sent her with the consent of their parents to study more. As far as I know, their parents want them to be more fluent and expert of the language. They are saying that English is very influential and already part of their educational plans. Their parents obliged their children to learn it no matter what, no matter what happened and no matter what it takes. They strive hard their in their country, just to send their children here and sustain them.

This is in accordance with what most people are pointing out. They treat and see English as eminent one to learn and to acquire. For them (Koreans specially), they praise so much those who could learn English language, which they really want to learn. One of my students sighed that, “Teacher, I want to be good in English, because I want to be an English teacher…so that I can have more many”.

As what they advise me to do, I should go to Korea for teaching; so that I will have more money. They said English is in demand to their country. Teaching could even make you rich. So, could you see now how English influence them?

To put it into one, for them, it’s very important for all aspects of their lives. They see it as their goal, their fantasy that is to be reach, as their great material to posses, and serves as their money maker. Well, its true and very practical way of thinking then. At least, they are very real and that persevering to learn more languages aside their language. In conclusion, English influences their way of living, views and goals as Korean and as our fellows. They have the same view with us other nationals, and its good and healthy way of seeing the importance of learning English.
