English education
I'm from Norway and my high school major is English. Right now I'm working on an assignment about how English is taught in other countries where English is not an official or administrative language.
I'm in desperate need of people to answer some questions.
The best would be to get someone from Estonia, but people from other countries are fine as well, only I need it really fast, within a few hours.
Could anyone please, please help me out here? Just a few simple questions about English education in your country.
The questions I need answered are behind the cut, now they are written as if I am speaking to an Estonian person, so if you're not Estonian, just pretend it says your country instead. Also, if you're not Estonian, please write what country you're from.
1. How is English taught in Estonian schools? When do you start learning English? How is your classes, do you read, write, talk or listen to English being spoken?
2. Do you get a lot of English through the media or are the TV shows etc. dubbed or with voiceover?
3. Would you say that there are any particular things Estonians have more problems getting right in English? Like pronounciation, spelling or grammar? And if yes, do you think there are any particular reasons for that?
4. Do you tend to "borrow" words from English also when speaking Estonian? Do you use random English words in regular sentences, and if yes, can you give an examples?
5. Do the average Estonian person speak English well in your opinion?
6. Do you think it's important to speak and understand English? If yes, why? If no, why not?
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!!
