Reflective Practice (3 minutes)

What do you reasonably expect that Korean Ss
should learn from the age of 8 to 10 years old?
What base skills do they need to learn early (8
to 15 years old) to best prepare them for high
school and the Korean CSAT?
How important is accuracy vs. fluency now and

pleasure to a student? Is pleasure the same
as fun?
