Clinical philosophy on education of foreign language
When you hear the word 'clinical,' many people may think of the medical field. However, clinical practice is also crucial in education. Clinical practice in education means closely accompanying the learner and attentively listening to the voices that are not typically heard in their everyday consciousness.
there is an effective learning method where 95% of people can acquire the skill. In such a case, clinical education does not aim to increase the accuracy from 95% to 100%. Instead, its purpose is to accompany those learners who may appear to be part of the 5% that are left behind and provide them with support, giving voice to their unique learning experiences that cannot be generalized.
we refer to the act of carefully listening to learners' voices as "clinical practice." Our aim is to accompany individuals throughout their learning journey, observe their progress, and explore the profound significance of continuous learning.
