Fever of Foreign Language Training SchoolsNowadays it is very common for you to get some leaflets or booklets about foreign language training. We have seen a great increase of various kinds of training schools or organizations advertised in the name of government affiliation or Sino-foreign cooperation and so on. Especially after China had entered WTO, enthusiasm of learning foreign languages began to spread at a tremendous speed. People try to seek the chances of improving their standards. As a consequence, the training schools spring up, whereas we can’t help wondering about the quality of service which is provided by the training schools. There, indeed, exists some problems.First of all, most of the training schools don’t have their own full-time teachers. Most people working there regard the job as a part-time one, a case which is especially prevalent among some teachers in the colleges or universities. This means that these teachers may leave the training schools easily, for example, finding another school which can provide higher salary. Result of this situation is the change and recruitment of teachers. Anyway, this would influence the normal teaching. Also there is a common sense in the teachers’ minds that these private training schools are not a place where they can work for a long time, so even if some training schools have full-time teachers, these teachers may be just waiting for opportunities of getting a better job.Secondly, level of teaching is quite a problem. A survey in a comparatively famous private school in a provincial capital reveals that among the thirty-seven teachers, only one majors in English, five teachers have bachelor’s degrees. This is not to say that there must be relationship between the teaching level and the degree, but listening to these teachers’ classes does show that, to some teachers, there is big room for improvement. However, to the students, imitating the teacher is a way of learning, so maybe from the very beginning, they have already learned the wrong pronunciations which can not be corrected easily.Thirdly, let’s come to the management. Establishing a school is not an easy task. Various aspects have to be taken into account. Slack management in some training schools is not rare. This can give rise to curious situations. For instance, some students skip class, but the teachers may ignore this and do not report to the school or the students’ families as they are just conscious of finishing the class.At last, lots of training schools usually promise a lot in the hope of getting more students into the school, these schools are set up for the purpose of economic benefit as well as education. However, considering what we have mentioned above, a lot of difficulties may prevent these promises from being realized. It is found that in a private school, marks of the examinations are set above eighty so that the students’ parents will be satisfied with the achievement in the school. Anyhow, we shouldn’t forget the fact that these training schools are a kind of business organization.It is comfortable to believe that things are getting better and better, however, we cannot ignore the above-mentioned phenomena. Influence of education is potential and distant. More attentions and efforts to the education itself are for the interests of our country’s future.这是我以前用过的一篇演讲稿,是在网上找的，有些小错误和不太适合演讲发音与记忆的地方我已经修改过了,祝你成功~
