Many people study English in Japan. I studying English now. It is surprising then that if you asked Japanese people to rate their English speaking ability, eight or nine out of ten would say their ability is poor. This may be a result of the Japanese tendency be humble, but there is also probably a little bit of truth in these findings.
I think that one reason Japanese people tend to be poor speakers of English is because of the way that it is thought in Japanese school. when I was in junior height school, we were lucky to have one visit a week from a native English teacher.
Then we would sin songs or practice very simple functions. This was definitely not enough time to learn a foreign language. Then in senior high school, our teachers did not have enough time to teach us speaking of listening, because they had to spend to much time on preparing us for collage entrance exams. So we studied grammar and vocabulary. This did not help us learn to sresk English.
One suggestion is this, think Japanese people who teach English should be given more training which perhaps the option of spending of time overseas improving their speaking ability..
