summary on English education after reading "The mute leading the mute" on the Economist. In some countries, especially non-native English areas, english teachers are blamed for their students' inability of communication in english. It happens because teachers are hiered not by their speaking test result but by written test, then they have taught the subject as a foreign language not a tool for communicating with each other globally. In the case of china, students have learned English as an mandatory subject at the early age, and have a chance to be taught by native teachers. However, the english education has failed to meet the parents high demand of English. Unlike the china's case, some countries take a different approach to teach English to student. In Latin America, english teachers are helping their students to change their future with english partnership programs. besides the case, we have seen several successful examplary in S.K and Uruguay. The point is students deserve to be taught by competent teachers whatever the results come from.
