Extraordinary Genius

Feng Yu and Principal Li finished their business and started chatting. Dean Li said that a lot of college students now can't even get past the fourth level of English. Some universities have tied the fourth level to the diploma, and as a result, the pass rate of these fourth levels has increased significantly.

In saying this, Principal Li's expression seemed to think it was a very good initiative. However, he saw a glimmer in Feng Yu's face.

“What, do you seem to disagree with this? ”

“No, about education, I don't understand.” Even though Feng Yu said so, the expression on his face was even worse.

He also heard from Lena about this, and this method was implemented in many colleges in previous life, but most of it was later cancelled because the boss was aware of the problem.

“And what do you think Feng doesn't understand?” Principal Li whispered deliberately.

“Since Principal Li said so, I would like to make a few personal remarks, a little shallow, for information only. ”

“What is English? Originating in the UK, it is also the official language of many countries, and now the world's most powerful nation, the United States, is also using this as its official language. But what is the essence of this English is a language. ”

“We are Huaxia, our mother tongue is Chinese, I am curious that our Chinese language is not linked to the diploma, even the vast majority of university professions do not need to learn Chinese, preferably English, and the fourth level is also linked to the diploma. ”

“What does level four prove? Prove you know this language? Or does it prove you know the words? You know so many words, you know what a sentence means? ”

Principal Li listened to Feng Yu's tone and couldn't help but argue: “I remember you going to our university, is that a guarantee? You were fluent in Russian and English. If you despise English so much, why did you try so hard to learn it in high school? ”

“I do not denigrate English, which is now indeed the most widely spoken language in the world, stemming from the fact that Britain had the strongest maritime power and that the Queen of England had too many colonies. Even now, there are countries like Canada, India and Australia that follow the Queen of England. ”

“I learn English because I use it. Language is a skill, a survival, a life skill. Helps people communicate and reduces barriers to communication. I'm going abroad to do business, so I learned this language, which makes it more accessible when I talk to business partners. ”

“But what about the rest of our college students? How many of them speak English? You're welcome to say that more than 90% of people will not need it in their lifetime. Even for those who have passed the fourth or even sixth level, do you think they can really hear, read and write? Can you communicate in English as easily as I do? ”

“I remember a lot of professors in our school who don't speak English, do they? Can't even speak any foreign language, does that keep them from teaching people? How much did those students spend to learn a language they might never use in their lives? Buying tutorials, reference materials, watching English newspapers, listening to English broadcasts, watching English movies, TV shows, there's another big problem. ”

Principal Li frowned and asked: “What question? ”

“The dissemination of ideas. They read English movies, TV dramas, and read English novels and newspapers, most of them accepting Western ideas. Personal heroism in the US, money overriding capitalism, etc., all have a profound impact on the minds of many students. ”

“Why do so many college students want to study abroad, outside education, must be really good? Why do they want to live abroad, that life abroad is really so good? Because those media outlets are all about the positive image of those countries, and those dark faces are not revealed at all. ”

“In fact, many students were not interested in this at all, but they wanted to learn English and were forced by some teachers and parents to look at the material, thus starting to want to live abroad. ”

“For example, there is not much pressure to study, college is good, there is not much pressure to live, everywhere to find a job, everyone is equal, there is no corruption among officials, etc. These are very one-sided, or what they have deliberately created. ”

“Universities do make good progress in the US, and you're welcome to say that if we can get into college, we can apply for college in the US, because they have a lot of private universities, and they have very low admission requirements and pass. But that kind of university isn't very good, and it's likely that you won't find a job, and many Americans don't go to that kind of university themselves. The crime rate among young people in the United States is much higher than in our Huaxia. And there is also a lot of corruption in the US, just because they are two political D's, they supervise each other, so it's not easy to want too much greed. ”

“Many of the so-called international students now go to private universities, or to the kind of money that pays, that is to say, to gold-plated people from our developing countries. How many of them do you think can be made of? Even a lot of gold-plated people are not fluent in language. To be honest, the key is to see if you're working hard. ”

Principal Li was somewhat dissapointed and said: “Listen to you, as if English classes should be cancelled? ”

“Not necessarily, as I said, it's also a skill. Just like a carpenter, sawing wood, can't be called a carpenter, can make furniture, is a carpenter, can make something more sophisticated, is the curse of it. You can learn English, but you have to learn it, at least you can communicate with people. Otherwise, there is nothing more than a certificate to prove that this person has learned, learned and learned, and the gap is too great! ”

“English is not needed by everyone. We don't even learn Chinese well. What are you doing learning English that is most likely not to be used in your life? Let's see how many English language training schools there are now, and once Level 4 is tied to the diploma, those schools become more expensive. Are those so-called foreign teachers in school qualified to be teachers? Did they ever learn how to teach? Do you have a teacher? ”

“So I think it's ridiculous that so many elementary schools, even kindergartens, are starting to learn English right now. Even in our secondary school, English, like language and mathematics, scores too high. Do you think it's really good that English is equal to our own mother tongue? ”

Principal Li lowered his head and fell into contemplation. As Feng Yu said, there is some reason. There are also scholars in China who say that English should not be overvalued, but their interpretation is not quite the same as that of Feng Yu.

This question seems to need to be carefully considered. It should be discussed at the next educational work meeting. In Tang Zhonghua, parents attach more importance to the child's English scores. This is really outrageous!

Maybe English should be viewed as a common discipline, like any other foreign language.
