ABSTRACT

Paulo Freire explores and criticizes how education and schooling can be used to oppress social groups in his masterpiece, Pedagogy of the Oppressed. He holds the view that problem-posing education can solve the problem of the unequal status of students and teachers in the classroom in banking education. Students are not forced to instill knowledge but are more proactive in acquiring knowledge. Freirean approach has brought many new inspirations to the reform of English writing class in domestic colleges and universities.
