What are the end goals for Chinese people who are taught conversational English?
The end goals are to be able to speak to a level that allows Chinese people to be able to speak to and listen and understand you as a native fluent English speaker. Chinese people, and in particular students, are well aware of the fact that English is now the language by which we communicate internationally. These students are quite excellent at writing, reading and grammar, however they lack speaking ability as their curriculums have neglected the oral or speaking component of English for many years. Now they are, through the employment of foreign teachers, placing a greater emphasis on speaking ability. After all it is the most important component of any language.
