A Critical Gap Threatening Taiwan's Future

Taiwan's Bilingual 2030 policy is a bold vision for global engagement. Yet, a persistent gap threatens its success. National data reveals a stark contrast: while high school students excel in reading and listening, their speaking skills lag dramatically.

This isn't just an academic problem. In a world of global business, R&D, and diplomacy, the inability to speak confidently and persuasively in English puts Taiwan's talent at a disadvantage. Our report investigates the cultural, psychological, and now, technological roots of this growing crisis.

Inside the Report: Key Findings & Recommendations

Prioritize and rigorously assess oral output through debates, impromptu tasks, and peer discussions to build spontaneous speaking skills.

Voice-Interactive AI

Adopt AI tools that require voice input, transforming AI from a writing crutch into a powerful speaking coach for pronunciation and fluency.
