The 10 Myths of English Language Teaching and Learning more

Sat, Apr 30, 11:00-Tue, May 31, 23:55 Asia/Seoul

This workshop introduces our new book (영어교육에 대한 10가지 환상, 10 Myths of English Language Teaching and Learning; 2021, 글로벌콘텐츠/Global Contents), which is a Korean translation from the Japanese version with annotations that address similar issues in South Korean contexts. The primary purpose of this book is to question common beliefs about English language teaching and learning in Japan and South Korea. These briefs have been pointed out as problematic by scholars in applied linguistics in the West during the last 30 years or more, but they have continued to be supported to date by teachers, parents, policymakers, and other ordinary people outside of academia. Many of the ideas presented in the book invite readers to rethink taken-for-granted ideas about what the best approach to teaching and learning English is. The audience will be invited to gain renewed knowledge and ways of thinking that would contribute to linguistic and human diversity and equity.
