     据新加坡《联合早报》报道，中国国庆长假期间，各地英语培训学校人满为患。中国家长将只有三四岁的孩子送去学英语，专家却发现，很多大学生学了十几年英语后只能应付考试，95%外语学习者无法实现无障碍交流。
　　据新华网报道，英语教育的低龄化趋势近年来持续加剧。武汉十几家英语培训机构大多设有“少儿英语”课程，其中一家今年还针对三四岁的孩子开设了早教班。
　　云南亨德森外国语学校则要求学龄前儿童学完相关课程后，“至少达到小学毕业英语水平，初步学会1000个单词/词组及其所构成的句子和对话体课文”。
　　与此同时，上海外国语大学的研究表明，在学英语或其他外语的人中，真正能学会一门外语并能用外语流利表达、进行无障碍跨文化交流的，最多不会超过5%。

　　国庆长假，湖北武汉市多家英语培训学校仍人满为患，上课的孩子最小的只有3岁—据《长江日报》报道，这样的场景几乎是各地少儿英语教育的一道共同风景。有专家称，在功利化的导向下，中国英语教育正陷入怪圈：很多学生只会应付考试，学了十几年，能实现无障碍交流的人不超过5%。
　　记得上高中时，班里有一个在美国长大的华人学生，英语考试居然不及格，他无奈地说：“那些选择题的选项，我看着都对啊！”这或许正是时下我们英语教学的悲哀。我们的英语教学中，往往陷于死抠各种语法语态，一定要在“in”、“on”、“off”之间选一个，到头来选得再正确也很难跟人家流畅地交流。英语应该回归其工具的原本定位，英语教育也应该弱化应试色彩，强化语言功能。
