English learning in France...
The level of English for french students is not good when it is compared to one of other countries. I'm going to speak about my own experience. I studied English during 6 years in France when I was young. After this time, I had some of knowledge about grammar but wasn't able to speak fluently or to understand a native speaker. Furthermore I didn't know the daily vocabulary often used by native people.
The main reason of this disaster is how lessons are given by teachers. During 80% of the time, teachers explain the basis of grammatical rules. For a lot of of students lessons become boring. Indeed the organisation of lessons don't allow to speak a lot while for a living language like English the most important is to understand and be understood. I remember a teacher of mine who made me repeat a sentence 20 times in front of my mates because my pronounciation was not good. After this experience, I shutted up until the end of this school year.
I am 46 years old and try by myself to improve my english, what the school failed to do....

The level of English for French students is not good when it is compared to some other countries I'm going to speak about my own experience. I studied English for 6 years in France when I was young. After that, I had some knowledge about grammar but I wasn't able to speak fluently or understand a native speaker. Furthermore, I didn't know the ordinary everyday street vocabulary often used by native speakers.
I believe that the main reason for this problem is the way in which lessons are given by the teachers. Eighty percent of the time, teachers explain grammatical rules. Therefore, for many students, lessons become boring. Indeed, the organization of lessons don't allow one to speak realistically in every day language. The most important thing is to understand and be understood by a native speaker. In fact, I remember one of my teachers made me repeat a sentence 20 times in front of my classmates because my pronunciation was not good. After this experience, I stopped participating(best)/I became disengaged(formal excellent English)/I shut up(okay) until the end of the school year.
I am 46 years old and I am trying to improve my English, something that my school failed to do for me...
J'ai fait des modifications à votre texte mais j'ai tout compris. En fait, vous ne pourriez aucun faire pas des modifications et ce serait bien. Je suis en train d'améliorer mon français et je me souviens les même choses. La phrase pour mois était "c'est ainsi qu'on voit bien le pays" et c'était faux!! Bon courage! (Vous pourriez corriger mon réponse...je ne suis pas sûr...ne pourriez aucun faire pas ou ne pourriez faire aucun des...)
