Study should begin with interest, points out Leung Yiu-nam, associate professor of foreign languages and literature at National Tsing Hua University. The biggest problem with English education in Taiwan is "that it is test-driven, and that these tests only measure reading and writing ability. The result is that everyone memorizes vocabulary lists and sentence structures, and they lose interest in learning English."
學習本來應該以興趣起始，清大外語系梁耀南主任指出，台灣英語教育最大的問題在「考試領導教學」，「只考讀寫的筆試，弄得大家一想起英語就是背單字及解析句型，最後把大家學英語的胃口弄壞了。」
