According to today's United Daily News, Taiwan, as a whole, is weak at English.

Prof. Lee suggested that listening, speaking, and writing should be covered in English tests. Besides, he mentioned English teachers are a decisive factor too. According to him, though students in Taiwan start to learn English in third grade, some are not taught by English teachers, but by teachers who can't really speak English.
Personally, I believe only by using as much English as possible in class can we improve the English ability of learners in Taiwan. Language is a habit. To form a habit, continual reinforcement is a must.
