        ESL English basics           I don't mean to confuse anyone by the topic but I was wanting to start a conversation about the 4 parts of learning when approaching learning English on the basic level.   
Within the next 3 years, Japan is planning to officially teach English starting from grade 5 in elementary school.  BUT, from all the information I gather, they are only going to focus on speaking and listening.  I guess 2 out of 4 isn't bad but in my opinion 4 out of 4 would be better.   
Should all four parts of learning be addressed in early language acquistion?              |
