The debate is mounting across the social media platforms on English learning

Given the fact that English learning market, including online tutoring and e-learning apps, is finding a place on the most profitable industry list, point of views opposed to English study have triggered a round of explosive controversy on social media platforms. Cons argued that Chinese primary students today spend almost one-fifth of their study time on the English language, which has led to an insufficient study on other subjects to which they should be devoting more time. Pros raised and emphasized the point that the advantages of speaking English improve individual vision and thinking rather than placing social labels on others.
