A videoconferencing English lecture system between elementary students in South Korea and EFL teachers in Australia is proposed in this paper to solve the extremely low productivity problem in English aquisition system in South Korea. It is surprising that, in a year, over five trillion won is spent abroad for the English aquisition, however, the TOEFL ranking of South Korea is 24th among 25 non-native speaking countries in OECD. There must be a very inefficient link in the system. In this paper, a specific framework for English aquisition system is constructed based on Krashen's Monitor model, analyzed in terms of those external and language environment factors and addressed for innovating the low productivity problem of the system. The proposed solution could have positive impact on saving private education expenses of parents as well as improve the time on task and the quality of instructional program for the students in South Korea.
