With the development of China's economy and society, our international influence has become more and more powerful. Recently, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said that by the end of 2020 More than 180 countries And regions are carrying out Chinese education. More than 20 million people abroad are learning Chinese, and the cumulative number of people using and learning Chinese is close to 200 million People, most importantly, More than 70 countries Include Chinese National education system , which is very important, so you can think of what we are learning English 。
Since many people are learning Chinese, why are we still learning English? English, as our compulsory course, is a major that everyone must face“ difficult problem ”Some students can't get into good schools just because English is lagging behind. Therefore, many students and parents can't help but appeal that when can we abolish the status of English compulsory courses?
When will English be abolished as a compulsory course? Relevant departments have responded
In fact, in the face of your appeal, some regions of China have officially responded, and Liaoning Province has adjusted Total English score of the high school entrance examination , the total score of the province's English middle school entrance examination has changed from 120 points adjusted to 100 points The adjustment is very strong. Although the status of English as a compulsory course has not been abolished, it has changed English from the traditional“ Three major subjects ”If the students are kicked out, the score of English will be lower than that of Chinese and mathematics.
This is also a trend, indicating that the status of English as a required course is not unbreakable over time. We also see that the influence of Chinese is becoming stronger and stronger. Many countries and people are learning Chinese, even learning it as a course. We hope that in the near future, Chinese can become a world language.
Why do people call for the abolition of English compulsory courses?
Some people think that English is just a language. In the same subject as Chinese, both primary and junior high schools can continue to learn English and need to continue to take exams. But in high school and college, it can be changed into an elective course, not included in the required courses. Through several years of learning, you can basically learn simple words and spoken English.
However, students who are not interested in, will not go abroad in the future, and do not need further study can reduce their burden and give up in high school. In addition, they can grade English according to their majors, so that a group of students who are not good at English can be eliminated in high school, and a group of students who are not good at English can be eliminated in college. In this way, we can strive for perfection. In addition, many people spent more than ten years learning English, but they did not use it after graduation. Therefore, it is a waste to learn English as a required course.
People who support English learning
Of course, some people support learning English. Many people believe that the college entrance examination is the starting point for talent development, English is one of the criteria for evaluating talents in colleges and universities Sometimes, professional knowledge can only be obtained through English; To give up English early is to give up the chance to become a talent in the growing period. Not all successful people have the opportunity to use English, but without English, it is difficult to become successful. In addition, the quality of learning Chinese and mathematics has nothing to do with the time spent on English subjects, that is, the time is given to Chinese and mathematics, and the results of Chinese and mathematics are not much better. People before 70 have never learned English as children, and their Chinese and mathematics are not much better.
In addition, English is very important in many fields, such as In scientific research, many important documents are written in English If you know nothing about English, scientific research may be affected.
I want to say
At present, it is unlikely to cancel English directly, but it can only be said that gradually. With the increase of China's international influence, the influence of Chinese is also increasing. When our country is in a leading position in various fields, we will learn Chinese at any time, and we may not have to learn English every day. Maybe when traveling abroad, people all over the world are speaking Chinese. Will they still learn English then? I believe that, except for a few people in special industries, we don't have to learn English every day.
