Hello Anhqiap,
I am very interested in your post as I share mutual feeling with you.
In Indonesia, English is incorporated into the 9, out of 12, years of our primary education's curricullum. The ministry of education here currently uses discourse analysis as the basic theory for English in junior high and high school.
However, the fact that an average Indonesian learns English for 9 years during their primary education does not change the fact that most of Indonesian are not an avid, if not understandable, users of English. From what I have seen so far, this is caused by several factors. Some of which I note are:
1. Lacking of motivation to learn. Most students in Indonesia do not find that learning English is as rewarding as math or other applied sciences. Most adult learners also do not believe that learning English is useful for their life, as they are more concerned about their work and how to fulfill their primary, economic needs.
2. English is practiaced as far as the class goes. People would only learn, and most of the time ineffectively, English in classes. Whereas we all know, that English is a language, and language is a means of communications. Communication, my friend, is a skill. And skills get better as you use them more and more. Furthermore, students who practise English outside the class would be considered as arrogant by their peers.
3. Many of the sounds (phonetics) in English are different greatly and/or inexistent in Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian). This makes learning English challenging for most of our people.
What do you think cause the problems in learning in using English in Vietnam? I am interested in what you have in mind, so please humor me. _________________ Need a speaking partner?

This is my reading of the exercise:
— Next on the agenda is a financial report. Simon. — Well, this was a good quarter for us. As you can see -- if I can just get this slide to work, ah there it is -- our revenues exceeded expenditures by about $10,000. Much of that was due to holiday sales. As this chart shows, this holiday season was about 10 percent better than last year's. — That's certainly good news. So how do we stand overall? — Well, despite this quarter we're still in the red, but we've closed the gap considerably. Here's what it looks like. We have $100,000 in credits against $120,000 in debits. |
