The use of Freirian pedagogy in teaching English

My Summary for Freirian principal
: Using real life material that is relevant to the student to raise their critical consciousness  about their world use critical pedagogical method
It is a problem posing method so students get involved using a critical method participatory approach active participation and reflection
I strongly agree - what he said ,"Teachers are guides not an authority so we can empower the students"

This article focuses on the inequalities of NS and NNS in Korea and the need to create a critical pedagogy for EFL teacher training.

Part of the article showed the domination of American English in Korea but how Koreans need to understand that most of the time they will be using English will be with persons not from America so  I think Koreans need to change the obsession with American English. Koreans need to understand that we need to use English as an International Language (EIL).
