In today's Korea, many students go abroad to study. One of 10 students has experience to be sented abroad to learn English because English ability is key factor to succeed in Korea. This phenomenon causes lots of social problems such as diversion of foreign currency or family breakdown. For this reason, people have been debating whether it is good for student to attend schools outsides their home countries or not. From my point of view, i firmly believe that studying inside their home countries is better.
First of all, Learning foreign language is possible anywhere.
Of course, foreign countries are surely better place to learn the country’s language because students are always exposed to the their language. However, mastering foreign language totally depends on student’s attitude. If a student is not interested in learning foreign language, no matter where he or she is, the student would not study at all. For example, my 16 years old nephew was forced to study in Canada last year, but he failed to adjust the new environment and just hanged out with bad companions to defy his parents. Even he learned smoking and drinking from them.
In addition, overseas study expenses are too expensive.
Most countries students go for studying are advanced countries like North America or Europe. These countries are famous for high prices of commodities. And this worsen domestic economy.
Even though parents give up their own personal life and send all the money for their children, they can’t afford to pay all the expenses for overseas study. As a result it often caused family breakdown. For one thing, a guy who sent their family abroad killed himself in April 2009 because he had economical difficulty supporting their child abroad due to the on going increase of exchange rate by world wide recession.
To sum up, everyone may hold a different view on this issue. However, I absolutely support the prospective that studying inside their home countries is better. The rationale behind this is as follows: First, Learning foreign language is possible anywhere. Secondly overseas study expenses are too expensive. Although student can experience new world and learning foreign langue is more easy outside home country, in my opinion, studying in home country far outweighs its counterpart.
