English has become a global language. So which country, not including English-speaking countries, speaks English best? And where does China rank?
A Swedish language education company published its 2022 English proficiency（熟练程度）Index（指数）this month. The Netherlands ranked first, followed by Denmark and Sweden. The ranking is based on English reading and listening test results of 950,000 people from 72 countries and areas.
According to the index, the English proficiency in China is still low, ranking 39th. Out of the whole country, people in Shanghai are the best English speakers. They speak better English than Italians and French people. Hong Kong and Beijing follow Shanghai as China's next best English-speaking cities.
“Shanghai and Beijing rank high because they are international cities,” a senior manager Christopher McCormick said, “However, across China, proficiency in English is different from east to west.”
China has 400 million English learners, reported China Daily. However, the teaching of English in some areas is not very good.
According to the People's Daily Online, there are seven primary schools in Shetianqiao town in Hunan, but only one English teacher. Many students still learn English by rote memorization（死记硬背）.
Sebastian Magnusson, an officer at the Swedish embassy（大使馆）in Beijing, gave some advice, Swedish people speak English well and Magnusson himself is also fluent in Chinese. He said TV programmes, movies and even computer games could be learning tools. “Don’t limit it to textbooks. What matters most is to use what you’ve learned,” Magnusson said.
