"The primary English program is not a subject like mathematics or Chinese. It's something new and it's still finding its place in the curriculum," says Chen Chien-hao, from Jen Ai Primary School. As he sees it, the children must not feel that learning English is putting them under a lot of pressure. If they can see a word and read it aloud, that's fine.
「國小英文不像數學、國語，是一門新科目，還未被定位，」仁愛國小陳健豪老師說，目前他的想法是，不要讓小學生覺得學英文有很大壓力，看到字會念出來就好，至於背單字就留到國中。
