In teaching and learning English as second language or learning English as foreign language, contrastive analysis is really helpful for both the teachers and the students, because we will know the differences and similarities between source language (L1) and target language (L2). Especially for English teachers who teach with two languages and international students. Like English to Korean or Korean to English. This makes it easier to communicate and understand with L1 or L2 when teaching international students who speak English with their native language pronunciation such as Korean students to England or English students to Korea.This research will help the teacher notice their pronunciation correct or wrong and correct the students with the standard pronunciation to the target language.

And also, for international students who want to learn other languages other than their source language or polyglot students. Therefore, it is easy for them to learn and adjust to the target language. So that, they do not incorporate the system of our source language to target language, because each language has distinct system. Because, Korean here has more limited sounds than English, making Korean speakers who learn English or English speakers who learn Korea feel the strenuous effort to find the right point.
