Will English teachers be replaced by technology?

  I think English teachers will still be needed in twenty years’ time.   I know that robots will become more intelligent in the next ten years and education through digital devices will be more popular because of its convenience.  If we can learn English from them, we won’t have to pay for English teachers or go to school.  However, is this good for education?  I don’t think so.  In the next paragraph, I will mention the disadvantages of discharging English teachers, and weak points of robot teachers and mobile English.

  There are three reasons why human beings should teach English in the classroom.  First, if we install technology in education, it would take away jobs from humans.  This is the most important part of this argument.  Of course, we have to learn not only language itself but also how to communicate with other people.  And now, robot teachers cannot teach communication because they don’t have feelings.   But, what if robots were able to teach natural English someday?  I’d rather people taught English than robots.  Otherwise, they will lose their jobs and become spiritless.  Excessive evolution will lead to ruin, as in the Terminator.   Second, although robots teachers won’t have to be paid for their work, they will require regular maintenance so they won’t have the economic advantage over human English teachers.   Third, we should be pressured by study to an extent.  There is no doubt that mobile learning is more freedom than education by teachers in the classroom, but learning English sometimes requires patience; memorizing many words and understanding difficult grammar.  If people are learning without teachers and don’t have a strong will to learn, they might give up learning English.

  Technology makes our life convenient, we can buy everything and communicate with people around the world on the internet.   I love technology.  But, from the viewpoint of education, there are still so many things that only human beings can.  So we can definitely say that education by people won’t be replaced to by robot teachers.
