For this week, I studied about the research of Bok-Myung Chang named The role of English Language Education in Asian context. This research is about the history of English Language Education in Asian countries : Singapore, Philippine, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan and Korea. From studying this research it can be divided into 3 topics.
1. The history of English Language in Asia Context.
>>Focus on Singapore, Philipine, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan and Korea.
For the Singapore, Philipine and Malaysia are colonized by US and British so English became important in these country.
For China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and Korea English became important because trad, science, technology etc.
2. Developmental characteristics of English language.
>>He found that in the beginning, all of these countries to be national country such as China bring new innovation from England to develop their country.
3. Important role of English education in Asian
>It took about the important role of English language education in Asian context
There are 3 important roles;
>English as a way to speed up national development.
>English as a way to understand other cultures.
- English as a tool to communicate in international
communication.
In conclusion, the number of the people who speak English as a second or foreign language in Asian countries is increasing very rapidly so Asian English plays a very important role in the globalized world.
I thought that discussion within group it made my learning was easy because I had friends who helped me when I could not speak or communicate with others. On the other hand, language which was used in this research was very difficult, so it was difficult to read. Although, it was difficult, but I will try to fight it.
