●The reason for choosing this topic: Fist of all, I went to America as a Rotary exchange student for a year when I was 16. There, I took ESL course as well as other courses. Then, I came up with simple question. There are lots of students who are non-native countries and some of them for instance, Korea, or China, we have studied English for about same years as compulsory education, Japanese English education is trailed so, I thought this might be a good topic to investigate.

●I am planning to research this topic from the view of ☆In English as a second language country,

-What do they think is the most important to speak English? Grammar, accent, vocabraly, intonation or some thing else

-What do they think is the most important to study English?

-What is their propose to study English?

-Why do they choose England as studying abroad?

Is there any particular reason for notion of their image? For instance, in Japan, elder people still think British English is better than American English.

They are thinking of using English as their occupation in their future They are studying because they are told to do so Something else

●On doing these researches I will to questionnaires for students who are studying in the university in England. I will take questionally for the same numbers of Japanese exchange students who study in Liverpool as well as students from all over the world.

I intend to investigate on linguistics. Since I am planning to study abroad to England, I would like to compare the current English and the English in old days.

or since I have already studied in US for a year, I am thinking of comparing American English and British English by using acknowlege from my exchanged year. for instance, the way of using BUT and HOWEVER or difference between american slang and British slang

This paper provides an overview of the education system in England and of the government's policies for the education service. The paper offers a summary rather than a comprehensive guide for England only. There are some similarities with other parts of the United Kingdom, but there also are some differences with Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The paper is divided into nine chapters, including: (1) "The Structure of Education in England"; (2) "Key Facts"; (3) "Funding and Efficiency"; (4) "Qualifications"; (5) "Improving Quality and Standards"; (6) "Choice and Diversity"; (7) "Autonomy and Accountability"; (8) "Participation"; and (9) "Outputs." Two annexes conclude the document. (EH)
