Source: HKET (A33)

HK people’s English standard ranks twelve among 44 countries with English not being the mother tongue. While listening skills are concerned, it is found that over 40% HK people stay at primary school level, plus poor spoken and written abilities. As English standard will affect competitiveness and promotion opportunities, local employees are advised to improve communication with English speaking people by learning the slangs they use.
