Teaching English
I recently returned from Scandinavia, where just about everyone on the streets, from policemen to the few panhandlers, speaks, writes and reads a credible English. In Sweden, pupils are exposed to English in school as a second language. In Denmark, Norway and Finland, it’s the third language taught in classrooms.
Perhaps the Los Angeles Unified School District should investigate the Scandinavian educational approach to teaching English as a second and third language.
