Korean education has attracted the attention ofresearchers in the field of education due to its fast and steady development inthe last 40 years. This paper aims to compare the educational systems, teachereducation, and English language education of South Korea (hereafter Korea) andTurkey, by document and content analysis to compare the two countries. Theresults were enriched and validated with semi-structured interviews with theeducational counsellor of the Korean Embassy in Ankara, Turkey, and with aKorean parent who raised two children in the Korean education system. Thefindings indicated that sharing elements of an Asian culture in whichindividualism is still a rather foreign concept especially in relatively moreconventional parts of both Turkey and Korea, where governmental funding isinsufficient, both Turkey and Korea are striving through some turbulences intheir education systems, and English language teaching in particular. Ratherthan the more mechanical, years and hours of courses or even the starting ageof English language instruction in the national curriculum, or the teacher trainingrequirements, the major difference between the two countries is theirperspective and attitude towards education in general. |
