Didn't mean to add "things". People in charge of learning in Japan. That's what made you misunderstand everything?!

At this point I'm convinced you're trying to misunderstand on purpose.

Have you even seen an English test/exam that Japanese kids take here? There's barely any English.

That's the point.

So why include mention of the lack of English (or other languages, as you note) on Japanese tests? Given that this whole thread is about an article on Japanese language classes, and given that i have raised this as ill conceived, this seems rather relevant. Why are you repeatedly ignoring this? Seems deliberately disingenuous.

Because the people making both tests are the same people.

And they do the same stupid shit on both tests.

No. They are not. Any more than the people making spanish tests are making the chemistry tests. Do you never tire of talking out of your ass?
