2015-03-23 When I was a junior student, I have heard a phrase of "English is needed from now" since then. Now persons who really use English is only 4%. [長年日記]

(Continuation from yesterday)

In fact, my daughters has no image of "themselves of using English".

For them, English is one of the subjects they should study, and problems they should solve in examinations.

In order to understand the situation of this apathy, it become enough to make an image that we are enforced to study a disused language (for example, Tamil).

According to my trial calculations, only 4% of worker population in Japan, really needs English.

Accumulating these facts, I return the result that I made a conclusion before, that "It is not our responsibility not to be loved by English".

Many people in Japan have an idea that we should adapt to the internationalization but we don't accept an immigrant community. In short, Japanese people think that the internationalization is just on foreign countries, not our homeland.

We never use English as a tool of the internationalization under the convenient fiction story.

I think that the above is the same situation that we study skiing by using training books only, not going ski field once, and want to be a splendid skier. (or a just leisure to go a ski field and a restaurant at the bottom.

When I was a junior student, I have heard a phrase of "English is needed from now" since then. Now persons who really use English is only 4%.

It is natural that the motivation for the studying English doesn't happen.

It's not that we should stop studying English. It might become same of the silly writer wife and husband who insist on "quadratic function is not needed".(As I recall, why do they say "English is not needed, because the users are only 4% in Japan"?)
