DISADVANTAGES OF EDUCATION IN ENGLISH

Education in English is that English is used in all lessons in the school like METU.There are lots of different ideas about this but it is wrong for several reasons.The firs reason that education in English is a barrier to understand lessons, if students want to be good at lessons, firstly they have to learn English and this is not easy.If they don’t learn English very well, they cannot understand lessons.For example; according to a research about this topic, students taking courses in English are not succesful in their lessons and after school in their jobs very much.Because they cannot learn subjects about lessons exactly.The second reason is that they will start to forget their mother tongue day by day like METU students.For example; students in METU use- mid-term- instead of- vize- in their language or they say’ to be repeat’instead of- sınıfta kalmak-.The opponents of these ideas claim that education in English gives us a foreign language and the other reason is that students can meet foreign people because they take lessons in English.However,they don’t need to take courses in English.Students can take language courses, if they want to learn a foreign language and while we meet foreign people, we don’t have to use English, we can teach them our language this is more logical. Therefore for only these reasons we don’t have to take courses in English and these ideas don’t agree with my ideas.
