my teacher at KU who is a M.phil in linguistics pointed to me alot of misconceptions regarding english language. she said the reason we are so bad is because of faulty teaching methods. it is true teachers who are teaching english as language are themselves lacks knowledge. the other reason is the stnadard of education. we do not have uniform method of education that is the biggest problem i think. i mean we have cambridge system, AKU board and normal matriculation. one thing to get is right is to get the uniform method of education
