First of all, as students are less reliant on supervisors than in the past, there are many more ways to learn nowadays. For example, I have studied English almost every single day. Although my native language is Korean, I can easily communicate in English without feeling any anxiety. I expand my vocabulary by using a smartphone application that teaches me new phrases twice per day and I practice pronunciation by watching videos on the Internet. Consequently, I deem old-fashioned classes with a lecturer are not as important as they used to be. If I had tried to become proficient in English twenty years ago, I would have depended on a supervisor and respected her a lot.
