During my more than ten years of teaching experience in China, I noticed that most of my students were facing obstacles in attaining competence in the English language despite studying for more than six to ten years.

This is a very good article!!! I agree 110% I attempted similar to this with a high school class I was teaching. Some students actually tried what I was asking. Others complained to their parents who complained to the school master who complained to me. I was told that this was not according to Chinese culture and I did not need to bring this teaching to the classroom.
