is english language education mandatory in japanese schools
When you speak to foreign English educators in Japan, one thing becomes crystal clear: English education in Japan isnât working. Itâs just awful. While English classes are mandatory in Japanese schools, the percentage of students who emerge with actual English abilities are surprisingly low. Students in China, Korea and Japan are in an arms race to see who can produce students with the best English, and Japan seems to be trailing far behind in third place.
