Chapter 1366: English is a skill

Feng Yu talked with President Li about the business and started chatting. It happened that Dean Li said that many college students now cannot even pass the English level. Some universities have linked the fourth grade to the graduation certificate. As a result, the pass rate of these four levels has increased significantly.
When I said this, President Li’s expression seemed to think that this was a very good move. However, he saw a trace of disdain from Feng Yu’s face.
"Why, do you seem to have different opinions on this?"
"No, education, I don't understand." Although Feng Yu said so, his face was even more disdainful.
He also listened to Li Na about this matter, and this method has been implemented by many colleges and universities in the past, but most of them have been canceled because the above is also aware of the problems inside.
"And what do you always know about Feng?" President Li deliberately shouted.
"Since President Li said so, then I would like to say something about my personal opinion. It is a little simple and is for reference only."
"What is English? The language that originated in the United Kingdom is also the official language of many countries. Now the world's number one country is also the official language. But the essence of this English is a language."
"We are Chinese, our mother tongue is Chinese. I am very curious that our Chinese language is not linked to the diploma. Even the vast majority of the majors in the university do not need to learn Chinese, but they need to learn English. To be linked to a diploma."
"What can the four levels prove? Prove that you will speak the language? Or prove that you know these words? Know so many words, you can know what a sentence means?"
President Li listened to Feng Yu's tone and couldn't help but retorted: "I remember that you went to college, is it guaranteed? At that time you were proficient in Russian and English. Since you are so low in English, why did you study hard in high school?"
"I am not demeaning English. English is indeed the most versatile language in the world. This is due to the fact that Britain has the strongest sea power, and the Queen of England has too many colonies. Even now, there are still like Canada, India, Australia. Waiting for the country to comply with the Queen of England."
"I study English because I use it. Language is a skill, a life and life skills. It can help people communicate and reduce communication barriers. I have to go abroad to do business, so I learned the language. This will allow me to be more accessible when talking to business partners."
"But what about other students at our university? How many of them can use English? You are welcome to say that more than 90% of people will not be able to use this life. Even those who have passed Level 4 or Level 6 Do you think they can really speak, read, and write? Can you communicate with people in English as easily as I do?"
"I remember many professors in our school, do not understand English? You can even say that you don't know any foreign language. Does this delay their teaching and education? Those students may not use the language in order to learn this life. How much is it? Buying counseling books, reference materials, reading English newspapers, listening to English radio, watching English movies and TV series, this brings a big problem."
President Li frowned and asked: "What is the problem?"
"The spread of thoughts. They see English movies, TV dramas, English novels, newspapers, and most of them accept Western thoughts. Like the individual heroism of the country, the capitalism of money, etc., these will be deep. The influence of many students' thoughts."
"Why do many college students want to study abroad, and the education outside is really good? Why do they want to live abroad, and the life abroad is really so beautiful? Because those media propaganda are the positive images of those countries. Those dark faces will not be exposed at all."
"In fact, many students are not interested in this at all, but in order to learn English, some teachers and parents are forced to look at these materials and start to live abroad."
"For example, the learning pressure is not great, the university is very good, the life pressure is not great, the work can be found everywhere, everyone is equal, there is no corrupt officials, etc. These are very one-sided, or they are deliberately created illusion. ""
"In the country of rice, the university is really very good. You are welcome to say that we can apply for college in this country. We can apply for college in the country because they have many private universities. The admission requirements are very low and they can pass. But the kind of university is not very good at graduating, and after graduation, it is very likely that I can't find a job. Many people in the country don't go to the university. The youth crime rate in the country is much higher than that of China. The corruption on the other side of the country is also very much, just because they are two political ds, mutual supervision, so it is not easy to want too much greed."
"Now many so-called international students are all private universities, or those who can pay for it, that is, they are specially gilded for those of us in the developing countries. How much can you think? Even a lot of people who have returned from gold, the language is not fluent. To put it bluntly, the key is to see if you work hard."
President Li said with some dissatisfaction: "Listen to your meaning, it seems that the English class should be cancelled?"
"Not at all, I said, this is also a skill. Just like woodworking, you can saw wood, can't be called woodwork, can build furniture, it is a woodworker, and it can make something more delicate. One of the best. English can learn, but you must learn to do it, at least to communicate with others, otherwise it is nothing more than a certificate that proves that this person has learned, learned and learned, the gap can be too big!"
"English is not everyone's need. We don't even learn Chinese. Do you have a good chance of doing English in this life? Look at how many English training schools are there. After the fourth level is linked to the diploma, The fees for those schools have become higher. Are the so-called foreign teachers invited by the school qualified as teachers? Have they learned how to teach? Is there a teacher?

So I think that it is ridiculous to start learning English in many elementary schools and even kindergartens. Even our middle school, English is the same as Chinese and mathematics, and the score is too high. You think that English is in line with our own mother tongue. No, is this really good?"
President Li bowed his head and fell into meditation. As Feng Yu said, there are some reasons. Some scholars in China also said that English should not be taken too seriously, but their explanations are not the same as Feng Yu's explanation.
This question seems to be taken into consideration. At the next educational work conference, it should be discussed and discussed. The Chinese are more and more important. Parents pay more attention to their English scores. This is really awkward!
Perhaps English should be regarded as an ordinary subject and like other foreign languages.
