More Chinese than Japanese want to learn English

Interest in learning English in Asia has grown so much that there have been several online learning of English on the internet offered in the past decade  In the past decade, South Koreans flocked to the Philippines to learn English.  Most of them were young students that could finish college in the Philippines while learning English.  It was cheaper for them to get a degree and learn English at the same time.

In the case of Japan, those who are taking up English lessons are mostly above 20 years of age.  For that, they have to settle with learning English online as a high percentage of them are employed.  They save more money than attending schools.  Only a few high school and college students are taking English lessons online.  Kids in primary schools  are also starting to take online English but there are only very few of them Japanese students.

China is the country that suddenly had a high demand on learning English.  So many online tutorial platforms have cropped up to cater to them.  The surprising thing is that there are a lot of Chinese kids taking those lessons.  There are even some western people who have set up schools in China just to cope up with the demand.  One school is recruiting teachers from native English speaking countries and offering them relocation with hard to refuse benefits.

China currently has more of its citizens learning English online than Japanese.

English online for Japanese students

For more than 3 years now, I have been teaching English online for Japanese students.  From the site where I was having daily lessons with them, more than 200 students have bookmarked me.  Unfortunately, I am able to accommodate only a maximum of 8 students a day.  All of the students who bookmarked me like the way I conduct my lessons.  They noted how I am able to conduct my lessons in an enjoyable atmosphere.

In correcting their mistakes, I always try to add some humor so they will not feel bad about mistakes.  I always tell them that the important thing is being able to communicate in English and express themselves well.  I like students to be asking questions because they get to understand what we talk about more.

When using lesson materials, I often deviate from the material to give more time to the student to talk and exchange thoughts with me.  There were some students in the intermediate level that I was able to help in transacting their business or do better in their work because of their improved knowledge in English and business terms.  Some of them have also improved their earnings or income on how I guided them in their profession or work.

I hope to sign up a few more Japanese students with me in my new online teaching platform.  Mind you, this is not exclusively for the Japanese, any nationality  wanting to learn English can sign up. Please click HERE for more information.
