脱TOEICの英語術

Good feature.

According to this feature, Japan and Korea is the only country where values TOEIC test in the world. And Korea is developing their original English test to improve English education from the bottom. Now, Japan is the only country...

I agree with opinion that college entrance exam should require English speaking test. Because test, especially entrance test is everything student care in Japan. So just adding speaking test will improve our English skills dramatically. I just don't understand why Japanese government don't change their testing system. There is no better solution.

Also, there was a story about salary man who attends to a company where use English as official language. A worker with score below 600 or 700 whatever the company decides, has to take an extra class in/out of the working time including weekend. What a waste pressure.
Learning has to be fun! Forcing to study is not a good idea.  Company should use their power and money to encourage their workers to have more great experience in global view.

Actually this is just one aspect of my thoughts Because I have never heard any voice from company side personally. Maybe companies are encouraging their workers, and using the best teacher as worker's trainer to push up their motivation.

My point here is that score is not important issue here, but uplifting motivation and providing more chance to experience English communication is the important issue.
