What do you think of English education in Japan?

Hi,everyone. How are you been? Today is rain.and tomorrow too. It always let me down... Recently,I find article about English education in Japan. Although many people in Japan learn English for six years(junior and high school),they almost can not speak English.Even introduct themselves!!!This is true.. Why this happen? What did they do for six years ? Well,actually the reason is that ..........the purpose of English education in school is to get possible to write and read.not speak.... But English squeezes in Japan day by day.so many Japanese have come to need it for these decades. In particular speaking it. They have to communicate with "gaijin" on work, business and sometimes life. That's not rare. But they hate shame. They are afraid of failure, so don't try to it. I think it's a strang thing. Why we learn language? To pass the test? To compare with others? Ofcourse that must be important,but the most important thing is to communicate with human...I think. Conversation is the ability that only a human begin has. Communication with other country people give us a lot of thing....cultures,sense of views ,and so on.... So,I think teachers should consider what is the most important for student,children in the future. This is my opinion.
