In addition, this study proposes some alternatives for English immersion education suitable for Korean by analyzing various issues of English immersion education which was found in those countries.
Abstract
Southeast Asia has an area of 4,400,000 square kilometers, one tenth of the Asian continent. Due to its geographic location and complex topography, Southeast Asia has been a region to which people move and settle down their lives. This has resulted in complicated distribution of population. The presence of so many nations in Southeast Asia causes language complexity in the region as well. In 2009, the gross domestic product (GDP) of Singapore was valued at $177 billion, ranking 43 among other Southeast Asian countries. Singapore is a wealthy country with a per capita GDP of over $37,000. In addition, the national competition of Malaysia ranked 10th in the world in 2010 according to the announcement of the Business Development of Switzerland. Along with its rich resources and potential, Malaysia’s high-quality education is considered as another factor to maintain powerful national competition. English immersion education has also been a crucial factor to the economic development of Singapore and Malaysia. This study is to research the communication-based education of English that breaks away from the traditional teaching methods such as conducted in Finland, Singapore, malaysia and Japan. In addition, this study proposes some alternatives for English immersion education suitable for Korean by analyzing various issues of English immersion education which was found in those countries.
