What did the students do with their English during the 9-year FOC education system?
I think those decision maker in the Education Bureau should know the cause. However, they can do nothing with it as the consequent of doing this is so huge.
Language has long been labelled as a subject that is boring for the student. Students in Hong Kong with poor standard in English because they do not want to learn as it is boring. This starts at P1. If the primary school english teacher cannot use innovative ways to teach this subject, students will not have the interests to learn and subsequently, as the students are promoted to secondary school, their standard of english is still remain at primary school stage. (This can be proved that some secondary school students cannot understand very simple vocabulary, as simple as elephant , aeroplane, willow...)
How to improve the standard of english to HK's student? Revise the syllabus of english of primary schools. Re-training of SOME of the incometent english teacher in primary schools. Encourage creative and active ways of teaching the subject.
But, most of the primary school teachers are 'experienced' teacher. Will they willing to do that?
