The Premier of the Executive Yuan,
Shyi-kun Yu, announced recently that English will become
the nation¡¦s secondary language, along with the plans
to develop English-teaching programs in elementary education.
Parents always desire the best for their children, and
highly value English education in the preschools. With
such demands, many English cram schools offer bilingual
or only-English learning environments with foreigner
teachers to attract parent¡¦s attention. Are these English
cram schools, registered as the ¡§short-term extension
schools¡¨, qualified to undertake preschool education?
Since preschool education generally evolve field learning
activities (games, health education and language), is
it necessary to extend English education to kindergartens¡HIn
addition, what are the qualifications for an English
teacher?¡HIs it essential to employ foreign teachers¡HWhat
are the relevant laws governing this field? These are
main issues in this discussion.
