Essay about a Need for English Teachers

I do not think there will still be a need for English teachers in twenty years’ time. That is because robot teachers have already been introduced in Korea and they will be updated from now on.

They are not useful now possibly because when they are asked questions, they may not answer because they may not have much information about grammar and so on. But they will be updated many times by engineers. Just as so far engineers have updated computers over many years.

In the computer’s history, for example, MITS (a company in U.S.A.) sold personal computers for the first time in the world in 1975 .They were very big and heavy to carry. But within the next twenty years, a mouse was introduced and spreadsheet software such as Lotus 1-2-3 was introduced and word processing software such as WordPerfect was introduced and Internet Explorer was introduced and Java (a programming language) was introduced. In this way, many functions were introduced and also computers became much lighter and cheaper.

I think such dramatic improvements in robotics will be achieved by engineers in the next twenty years.  Thereby, English robots will input a lot of information about grammar by gathering questions asked by students and will do other tasks. For example, they will be able to listen to what students say and search information about that in their memories .They will be able to make tests by information in their memories and check questions from students and speak in each lesson and speak well by programming too. It is expected that they will be able to teach on their own.

In short, English robots are not useful now but engineers will make a lot of efforts and improve them, so they will be useful in twenty years and there will not be a need for English teachers then.
