Starting this semester, I have read various articles written by students. Screening our trainee reporters' articles, I felt a remarkable gap among each student. Someone  who studied abroad showed good English writing skills with confidence. In contrast, there was a student who made so many grammatical mistakes in their writing due to a lack of understanding of the structure of English.
  CBNU requires students to take more than 6 units of English classes before they graduate. I have not met anyone who was satisfied with CBNU's English classes.  After I took English 1, 2 last year, I also found it ineffective.
  The problem occurs because of the fact that there is no flexibility in class allocation. When a freshmen enters the university, they are assigned to classes according to the order of the date of birth and they will take other classes together through the year. There is no consideration for each person's language ability when they are assigned to the class. I think this impractical system brings down the students' progress in English. Why would university students have to study under this inflexible system just as we had to do in elementary and secondary schools while spending a great deal of money for tuition?
  With this kind of inflexible system, professors might be restricted in their method of teaching. While some professors tried to differentiate their classes, others stuck to their own teaching methods: adopting the same reading materials and using it as a textbook. Students who are fluent in English would lose interest while others with basic English skills may find it hard to understand the whole text book.  
  Even the grading system is unconvincing. It is irrational and unreasonable for students who are good at English at the first place to end up getting an A when they don't even actively take part in class, skip classes or do not hand in their homework. They do not need to study as the students' grades will be ranked and marked in relative terms. Also, some students end up studying what the professor has pointed out and just memorizing them.
  English classes could be much improved if the university offers classes which students can choose on their own, regardless of their score when entering the university. Our university won't need much funding to make these changes. I hope that my opinion will be accepted and that my fellow students will be able to study English as they choose.
