Integreted Skils;Should English be introduce in Japan as the official language?

This time topic was official language. I disagree with this topic. Now in Japan we use japanese on a daily basis. But some companies introduced English as the official language. English is needed and important all over the world, so they introduced it. Anna who is a president of Japanese motor company said that we need to introduce it to diversify overseas and to take off business. I think it is a good way for companies, but people who don't work such companies don't need it. I was interested when Paul said that Japanese English is strange and if English were introduced as the official language, we could practice proper English. I think introduction of English as the official language is too hard for Japanese people, so government should focus on education in elementary, junior or high school. This is why I disagree with it.

  1. Thanks for your report Risa, but I don't understand your comment. Do you mean that the introduction of English in the school system is too difficult for Japanese people?

  5. Thank you for your comment, breath1!
    For example, elementary schools introduce more English lessons or junior and high schools change styles of classes to make students' communication skills developed. Japanese high schools focus on the National Center Test but I think they need more communication lesson to improve students' English!

  6. I agree with you!
    Japanese tend to be ashamed to speak English in front of people. Because they are afraid of making mistakes. I think we need to speak English with joy before we feel that it's ashamed to speak it.
