Study: Korea Only “Moderately Proficient” in English



Study : Korea Only "Moderately Proficient" in English

 

 It is a conundrum that Korea even spend between 10 and 15 billion dollars a year, but Korea ranked 24th out of 60 countries in a global English proficiency index. According to the article, Korea was placed into the "Moderate Proficiency Group", which also included Slovakia, Argentina, Japan, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
 
 
The Study was conducted by EF Education, and they reported Korea has not seen a significant improvement in its English level, while the rest of Asia had made dramatic gains.
 
The institute added that China ranked 34th, showed great improvement. "China's improvement was a major achievement" they added.


I was surprised, because I didn't knew Korea was placed into the "Moderate Proficiency Group". I have many friends who can speak English fluently, and good at grammar. They were also preparing TOEFL! I cannot believe it.
