Ⅰ. Introduction

The ability of reading, speaking, hearing and writing in English is getting more and more important to people who speak English as a second language. Especially, for Korean, the grammar system is completely different from that of English, and it shows the different ways of thinking. This has caused some problems to Korean to learn English. In spite of all of these obstacles, a number of people have devoted themselves to learn English to keep steps with globalization. And it's true that some of them are acknowledged as a kind of masters with high ability of English in various fields in the world. However, there are lots of things to be improved in the system of English education in Korea.
For learning English, it can be categorized as speaking, hearing, reading and writing. It has been a grammar-centered education that we've gone through during the schooldays. Also English has been quite an important subject with Math, so there were many students who got private tutoring. But the problem turned out that most of the students couldn't speak English when they met foreigners. It shows that the present English education system is not the best way and it needs some changes.
