Teaching Philosophy

My philosophy of education is simple. Cho Byeok, a professor famous for teaching methods in Korea, said, "Lectures where professors ask questions and answer themselves are the lowest-level lectures, lectures that are a little advanced when a student answers a question, and I agree with him 100 percent and try to maintain this in the field of education." In other words, my main goal is to encourage students to think without blindly memorizing in learning foreign languages and find their own answers. So instead of answering the questions right away in the class, I try to wait or to guide them to find answers for themselves.
