Hurdles for young English learners


An english teacher had read Japanese texts for learning English in elemental school. The books are under qualify which contain many errors and weird speaker. The teacher commented that these are pathetic books because they could not help students achieve at all. So the teacher decided to use his own book for teaching students in their class. He felt the government should fix the problem. They must create an instution for training English teachers and rent foreign teacher from all around the world. This might help developing Japanese’s English skill system but the current Assistant Language Teacher are not trained teachers. In his opinion, studing English should begin in early age because chirldren are easier absorbing knowleage from the beginning.
I think that government didn’t care about English skills in Japan so they just didn’t develop it. I think the government need to immediately fix this problem by using high standard text books before teaching to the kids and cooperating with ministry of education about "how to do or fix this problem?". Otherwise, the consequence will make a problem in Japan education. I agree with the teacher about teaching English earlier. As we can see, Japan has more contact with other countries. So it necessary that kids have to study English earlier. English is the base language to contact all the world. If you can use English, you will get more advantage than other people who don't have English skills. Nowadays, English is not enough because now we contact in Asia market. For example, China, Japan, and so on. From my point of view I think Asia language is so important, especially Chinese. Anyway you must good at English before you go to third language.
