Well, not “chinese” style, but this one guy’s style of teaching it. It’s popular, but doesn’t seem to really work very well. The Chinese learn English in school from an early age, but have problems with natural-sounding English. Programs like this are supposed to help people sound more natural, but this one isn’t very effective. Fun to watch, for sure.

I have a friend who just got back from a year as a private tutor in China. The businessman she was teaching kept insisting on learning by this method. He thought the best way to learn was to shout everything as loud and fast as possible. Must have been quite the year for my friend…

Laugh it you want, disagree with their methods or their politics, but this just shows the difference between China and most of the world. In China, setting goals and then reaching them is very important.
I think China is an unstoppable juggernaut, and unless other nations return to their inventive and innovative ways (focus on Science and Engineering instead of McDonalds and RIAA Lawsuits), China will own the future.
//and yes, I’ve been working on my 4th language, Mandarin (??), for the last few years.

Ah, Mr. Lee’s English lessons. The bane of my existance as an ESL teacher in China. I spent a year trying to teach my kids via traditional methods and this guy comes in and does a presentation halfway thru the school year and I lost half of my students. And it really doesn’t help them because they start to think that YELLING PRECONSTRUCTED ENGLISH PHRASES are normal and acceptable, when they most certainly are not.
Also had a friend get suckered into working for two weeks at one of his camps in Guangdong and boy, did she ever tell me stories of that Nazi Consentration Camp.

FYI “Crazy English” isn’t just a description of the video–it’s the trademark name for a whole range of language lessons hawked by “Crazy” Li Yang.

I dunno how his business is doing these days, but only a couple of years ago his company was a publishing juggernaut in the learning-English-self-help niche.

I followed a link on Youtube to get here. I made this movie and posted it on Youtube while I was teaching at HUSE earlier this year (2007). What struck me as most interesting was the fact that it was 6AM on a Sunday… I live in France and have two daughters in University, I teach English here to adults. I can’t imagine a University student here in France getting out of bed at that hour (If they were even back from a night out by then) just to learn English.
The method works for some people, usually lower level learners who are shy. They feel more confident when shouting in a “pack” where they can’t be singled out.
I am a believer in “any port in a storm” when it comes to getting the language message out.
