How to empower non-native English teachers and their students in Korea

In Korea, most English teachers are losing their pride and confidence in teaching English because of high expectation of society. I want to talk want some ways to empower them, including students.

First, as a non-native English teacher, most Korean English do not have any confidence in their language abilities. They want to improve their English abilities. However, they do not enough time to spend improving English abilities. Most teachers are supposed to teach about 20 hours a week. Usually they are homeroom teachers. They should take care of their class students. In Korea, homeroom teachers have a lot of responsibilities from morning to evening, sometimes at night. Therefore, they do not have enough time to improve their expertise. In my opinion, if Korean English teachers have less amount of teaching time, they will make efforts to improve their English abilities and to prepare their lessons. If they have confidence in their lessons, they will teach better and they will be motivated. Also, if some special English programs for improving English abilities and professionalism are provided for them, they will be more encouraged to be a good teacher.
Second, we need to provide many different kinds of practical English programs for English teachers. In Korea, we spend a fortune in hiring native English teachers. I know native English teachers are necessary for Korean English education. However, the equal amount of money should be invested for improving Korean English teachers’ qualification. Teachers can be reeducated through various kinds of English programs. For example, if some teachers think they need to improve language abilities, they can take a course appropriate for their needs. If some teachers have difficulty in applying different kinds of methods, they can choose their course suited for them. Not only do they have opportunities to improve language abilities and teaching skills, but they also share their concerns and interests with one another. Sharing common ideas make them feel that they belong to the same community and they will find solutions about problems they are facing more easily.
Third, there should be a community for native English teachers and Korean English teachers. There is a barrier between native English teachers and non-native English teachers because the communication between them is blocked. Korean English teachers think native English teachers do not have any will to learn about Korea, for instance, Korean students, language and culture. However, native English teachers think that Korean English teachers are irresponsible and indifferent to them. Each teacher is complaining about their counterparts because of miscommunication. If there is a community for them, they can share their difficulties and understand each other better. Moreover, if they have a chance to show their classes, they will compensate for their deficiency. I think that we are all English teachers. We do not have to divide native English teachers and non-native English teachers. We need to break this barrier.
Finally, most teachers want to be perfect, but I think it is impossible to be a perfect teacher. Teachers are frustrated because they tend to focus on only negative aspects. Every teacher must have at least one merit in teaching. If they make good use of their good points, not complaining about their disadvantages, they are more likely to be better teachers. Besides, while they are training themselves in many ways, they will be encouraged through their achievements and self-satisfaction.
Like teachers, students tend to focus on only negative aspects. Some students are very good at reading, while others are very good at speaking. Most students have different learning styles like their personality. We teachers need to accept their differences. I do not have to evaluate their differences. If teachers encourage student to develop their good points, they will eventually improve their less developed skills with the help of other developed skills.
In conclusion, I want to put emphasis on differences. Most teachers and students are very different. I am different from native English teachers, so I have different advantages native teachers do not have. If we create a community which accepts all difference, we can understand each other better and make more comfortable and beneficial environment for all the teachers and students.
