Taiwanese adult students
Someone recently introduced me to some Taiwanese expatriates here who are interested to learn to speak and write better English. The two engineers who came to meet me hardly speak any English! I wonder how they get around communicating with the people from MNCs whom they often have to deal with.
They told me only the universities in Taiwan use more English, but they didn’t go to university, they went to technical college. In technical colleges, everything was in Mandarin and they didn’t have to use English at all. They are willing to learn English from scratch, even suggested that I put them in the class together with the children. But, most unlikely we can do that because adults learn differently from children.:-)
