I am an English trainer,researcher. I have a few words to say about current english education problems we have to think about.
1.The
demand of English language as a skill have been increasing very fast,
but the quality of english education is not following, the gap between
these two is really increasing. If you talk about quality, we have to
think about two main roles, teacher and students. From my study, for
example, you would send a newly gratuated teacher, obviosly english
majored, to a school to teach, before you send them, understand about
his English level, and after one year, check his English level
again.Unfortunatly they haven`t improve, they are declining, why?
2.From
the situatin above, you can easily find out that the system is crashed
or out of date,or something else, i am not qualified to say what it is.
Just like computer, if the computer is crashed, the software would not
work; If the system is out of date, you cannot install newly developed
up-to-date software, or even you can install it, it would work really
slow.
3.We know that so
many people have been doing research on how to learn english,and so
many papers have been published, but teachers seems like a lay person,
they don`t care about it, or they don`t worry, because they are full
time employed and no pressure. Student`s results are not their work,
there are no practical supervising system to the teachers.And everyone
think that they can become teacher as long as they get uni degrees, or
master degrees.Teaching become a easy work in this society,
ridiculous....
