The Tutorial System Represented as in the Film Educating Rita

This study explores the British tutorial system as represented in the film Educating Rita (1983, Director: Lewis Gilbert, Columbia Pictures). The aim of this paper is to address the need to introduce teaching methods which create a better educational environment in Korea. In addition, the researcher considers the class system which simplistically divides the educated from the uneducated in the film. The latter criticizes this rigid British system. A young uneducated woman named Rita is completely disheartened with her own class, and aspires to change her existing way of life by receiving an education. What is at issue here is her intrinsic motivation toward education. Her life is transformed through a tutor-based educational system, leading her on a path of self-discovery. The researcher offers some suggestions with reference to this system. In short, this paper discusses the merits of a system designed to fully cultivate the potential of learners.
