Many Japanese people study English with an emphasis on tests and scores, but what’s important is living English, not scores.
English that’s just about scores is only useful when you’re being evaluated by someone, but living English enriches your life.
But there are few speakers of such wonderful English in Japan.
To begin with, Japan has a sufficient amount of English education if you look at the period alone.
However, even after studying English for such a long time, most of the people can’t speak it.
The world looks at it and wonders, “Why?”
This can only be said to be a flaw in the education system itself.
In fact, there is clear data that shows that the current English education system, established by the GHQ regime after the war, does not enable people to speak English in the first place.
In fact, there is even talk that GHQ created this education system to prevent Japanese people from using English. Well, if I say something like this, some people will immediately start screaming that it’s a conspiracy theory.
Well, most people know that getting a high score on an English test in Japan doesn’t directly mean you can “use” English.
This won’t do.
Despite the talk of the international community, the linguistic isolation of the Japanese from the rest of the world seems deliberate.
Isn’t it what we need right now to break away from this isolation?
It’s not that Japanese people are just not good at English.
There’s a big problem with the education system, which makes you think it’s preventing people from speaking English in the first place.
The reality is that in order to use English, you need to study outside of school.
