Reflections from VCU English Language Learners

NEWS HW

What happens in school in terms of language learning?  Are there Korean as a second language programs or does the school system use a sink or swim policy.

        In South Korea, there are so many foreign workers from Southeast Asia, especially poor countries. By the way, it causes many problems:  illegal immigrants, sweated labor, a lack of understanding cultural differences and so on. Above all, some Korean people ignore foreign workers and some Korean companies treat with discrimination. For that reason, the relationship with foreign workers is getting worse nowadays. Also, many women from Southeast Asia, they try to get married with Korean because of being a citizen in Korea. But, the situation causes many crimes such as fraud, divorce, and domestic violence.  The worst problem is their children are treated with discrimination in their school and they have problems with their friends. Korean government has tried to fix the problems for a long time, but I think it is not getting better.
