A report recently released by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) shows that Taiwanese students' average score of 203 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) ranked 21st among Asian nations -- sixth from the bottom in Asia for three consecutive years.
Among the four "Asian Tigers", students from Singapore topped the rankings with an average score of 252, while those from Hong Kong ranked 13th (216), and those from South Korea ranked 17th (213). Students from China also ranked 17th with an average score of 213. |
