Letter 9: Does Toeic Test scores reveals English education in Taiwan?
Yesterday I saw an news article about Toeic test in Taiwan.
China Times,
” The average score of toeic test of Taiwan is lower than Mainland China and Japan”
A professor in NCCU claimed that the reason why the average score of Taiwan is lower is because the applicant of the Topic test in Taiwan are mostly students, and he thinks that those applicant in China and Korea are elites.
So, does the average score of Taiwan reveal that our English ability is worse than Korea and China?
Most of the people believe this point, and even proposed a appeal of setting English as second official Language.
Dose English matters?
There might be a standard to determine whether a university is good or not.
The Toeic score of students in Japan is lower than Singapore, China, and Korea, but the university of Tokyo is one of the best university in Asia.
I believe a outstanding Academe emphasizes its essential education, but not only the surface of education.
