中国の英語熱 英語学習の目的 英語の役割
If you are a Chinese student you start learning English in the third grade, by law.
That’s why this year China will become the world’s largest English-speaking country.

Why English? In a single word: Opportunity. Opportunity for a better life, a job, to be able to pay for school, or put better food on the table. Imagine a student taking a giant test for three full days.
So is English mania good or bad? Is English a tsunami, washing away other languages? Not likely.
English is the world’s second language. Your native language is your life.
But with English you can become part of a wider conversation: a global conversation about global problems, like climate change or poverty, or hunger or disease.
The world has other universal languages.
Mathematics is the language of science.
Music is the language of emotions.
And now English is becoming the language of problem-solving.
Not because America is pushing it, but because the world is pulling it.
So English mania is a turning point. Like the harnessing of electricity in our cities or the fall of the Berlin Wall, English represents hope for a better future — a future where the world has a common language to solve its common problems.
