Can you believe that the number of people who speak English as a second language is actually higher than the number of those who speak it as a first language? In fact, non-native speakers of English outnumber native speakers 3 to 1. The English fever spreading across the globe has led to some unique ways of learning English as a second language. In China, users of Skype, software that makes it possible to make free calls over the Internet, have started calling American Skype users that they dont know, simply in order to practise their English. By calling total strangers, people become voice pals rather than pen pals. In Korea, the government has set up six English villages across the country where students can have an intensive week of total English immersion, taught by native English speakers. One village has even got Western architecture and signs in English. Students there receive fake passports which are signed as they enter the village, and from that point, every interaction is in English. Teachers pose as policemen, bankers and waitresses to give students the experience of being in a foreign country. Perhaps the prize for originality in teaching English goes to Taiwan. In Taiwan, the government decided that rubbish collectors would announce their arrival by playing phrases in conversational English, such as How much does a pound of cabbage cost? People bring their rubbish out to the lorries when they hear these phrases. In whatever way people choose to learn English, one thing is clear: English is needed in order to participate in international commerce, science and technology. As more nations are moving towards making English one of their official languages, its no surprise that English fever is on the rise.
