based on this video, we can see that Malaysia's English syllabus actually teaches you to comprehend and understand English. Korea's however is just made hard for the sake of being hard which in all honestly is pointless, stupid and typical syiok sendiri exam.

Reminds me of an Enid Blyton children's book i read when i was a kid. The Enid Blyton Book Of Brownies. There is a land of clever ppl and everyone there speaks in rhyme. U speak in any other way = u r stupid and u get a nice spanking. Then everyday the smartest person will ask everyone a riddle, if u cannot answer it you're stupid and will kena spanking again. All the ppl in the land will answer the riddles with gibberish and they will get away with it. Those who questions the logic behind the riddle = u guessed it right.... spanking. Total syiok sendiri culture.

yes in a way...very literal way. the memorizing method used in chinese school works... up to the point they converse. my experience talking to chinese school educated ppl, the one word i can put to it is literal. they don't understand the side meaning, puns, jokes, references ... nothing. so when conversing with them dont use fancy english, drop the bombastic words, go simple and the conversation will work.

chinese school english is not broken just lack of exposure and literal. u dont get to speak english to everyone in school and outside school unless you keluarpattern la.

SK english is not broken but students who listen and learn properly gain, while those who play truant lose out big time. my time SK english teachers got cambridge qualification. some even go for master and other side courses funded by gov. i had 2 good indian teachers (cambridge), 1 good chinese teacher (cambridge+masters in english) and 1 good malay teacher over the years. the indian teachers were really free and easy, their spoken english enough to make you correct your own plus they forced students to participate in dialogues and scenarios. the chinese teacher was the technical 1. she stressed on this tense that tense so a lot of why do it like this why say it like that were answered. the malay chap was the youngest and a trainee but he brought his own ideas which were fresh and new for those of us used to the standard education module.

i beg to differ. Our SPM level English paper is so easy yet the Korean girl had problems answering some very basic comprehension questions. She even questions the question lol like wtf ?
Their Korean SAT English exam is not even testing your English proficiency. IMO you get more knowledge and understanding from our PMR English exam than their SAT.
