I have to turn in an English essay in two weeks. I would highly appreciate it if someone could help me revise it. The theme is " Should the educational system in Japan change?" My answer It is fair to affirm that education is one of the most indispensable pillars in any society as it endeavors to instill youths with knowledge and values, and that therefore, the success of a nation and that of our progeny are largely contingent on whether the education offered pays dividends. Considering the status quo with regard to the contemporary educational milieu in the archipelago country in the Far East, there is ample room for amelioration in the following two ways. Firstly, English education provided in Japan ought to be revamped radically. Even as the ripple effects of globalization show no sign of being halted and English, in this increasingly globalizing world, has been serving a pivotal role as the lingua franca, with which a myriad of people from a multitude of backgrounds mingle with one another on a day-to-day basis, English proficiency of the majority of Japanese, especially in the light of the capability to speak in the global language is far removed from being decent. This dearth of abilities to interact with others from different corners of the globe is primarily attributable to the teaching style of English adopted in Japan, in which the essentiality of the rote memorization of a slew of grammatical rules that are hardly ever made use of in everyday conversations is accentuated and the nitpicking of even negligible errors is still pervasive. Hence, in a bid to nourish the English aptitude of youngsters in Japan and to exponentially increase the number of Japanese citizens who will rejoice in international success, the English courses offered in this island nation should transform themselves into the ones in which the utilization of English as a spoken language is considerably incentivized. Secondly, the exorbitant costs of receiving creme-de-la-creme education have to be lowered by the central government and local municipalities so as not to make the economic status of students' caregivers substantially affect the quality of education young ones can revel in. Under the current circ*mstances, not only do students take normal classes in a public school they have enrolled in, but a significant number of children also hit the books in different educational facilities, including cram schools, for the sake of further refining their intellectual capacities and outperforming others who are devoid of these opportunities on account of the penury they are afflicted with. In order to revamp the above-mentioned dire educational environment in which essentially, money talks and also to fend off further exacerbation of the polarization between the privileged and the underprivileged in respect to the quality of education children can obtain, the education ministry and a myriad of educational boards in each locality in Japan ought to collaborate with one another and forge a system in which young and aspiring students who may not have been born with a silver spoon in thier mouth but are highly ardent about academic success can garner educational subsidies or scholarships with which they can devote themselves to study without harboring any misgivings in regard to their family's financial situation. If this gambit is expediently implemented, Japan will be able to bridge the educational gap between the rich and the poor as even those who cannot afford to fork out an immense amount of money for acquiring chances to receive top-notch education will no longer have to jettison their ambition to academically excel. In conclusion, in the aforementioned ways, that is to say, triggering the drastic shift toward communication-oriented English classes and leveling the educational playing field for every student including those plagued with destitution by means of financial aid, the Japanese education system needs to undergo dramatic alterations.

I work in the education system now. The biggest issue is that teachers are managing students more than educating. They are more concerned about them passing the test even if the test can be pointed out to be flawed. The biggest misconception is that grammar rules are actual rules and not heuristics. They are guidelines that work most of the time but not always. They want overarching rule sets, like a grand unified theory, that make it easy for them to do their job. But the fact is a language, any language, is a collection of specific subrules that interact in various and sometimes seemingly conflicting ways. Add to that, that Japanese and English are so conceptually different that the heuristics often don't work well, because the Japanese students are making assumptions about the underlying expressions that aren't true in English.For example, the most ignored, yet essential concept is that of agency. That action flows from an agent into the world in English. I do, He has, It is, etc... it is even more important to understanding how we express something like passive voice, where the subject changes but the agent does not (often called semantic subject).This is a foreign concept in Japanese. There are of course doers, or agents, in Japanese but they are not essential to expressing events in the world.
