We live in country with advanced technology. Many people said Korea is perfect to use technology. Actually technology has opened many opportunities for people. When I was high school student, I took lots of online course to pass university entrance exam. Many people use online learning course because It has lots of benefits in online learning.

First, online learning is more cheaper than any other private institute. All people in any social position could be exposed to contact online learning. For example, my friends mother is taking free online English learning course to pass an examination for the license of high school. Many states of people could learn English. Some people have wrong acknowledgement said English is for high society. They think we should go abroad and go private institute to improve English skill. However they are false. Without lots of money, we could learn English as online learning.

Secondly, Its more convenient than other thing. If you have a computer, you could learn English wherever and whenever you are. In old days, we had to go Seoul to take course of famous teachers. It was not only expensive but also waste of time. To take their courses, we had to take bus or train. However, we can take course of famous teacher in Seoul. We dont have to take bus or train anymore.

Online learning has done great things but it has also equally worry thing and isnt perfect. There are also limitation in online learing.

First, we dont have many facilities to useful learning. Some school doesnt have enough many of computers to take online learning in countryside. In teachers practicum, only teacher could use computer in class. Student could only use computer in lab twice a week. However it was not for English learning but for computer learning.

Secondly, its hard to concentrate on online learning. In computer, we can use internet as taking course. I usually check my homepage as taking course these days. Its too hard to resolute against distraction.


To conclude, online learning is cheap and convenient, but we dont have enough facilities and have lots of temptation in internet. We need to acknowledge what the limitations of online learning are, we can control our concentration.

Yes. Learning using Internet doesn't offer the best environment for a efficient learning.
Even we are easily disatracted once we click the icon of explore.
During lecture in university, students open their cyworld homepage to post a reply instead of doing what the professor asks them to do...^^
