Abstract: The National Foreign Language Project 2020 has entered the 6
th
year of its life
(2008-2017), and throughout its short life, controversies and doubts have been cast over its
practicality from both the domestic and international professional discourses as well as from
home mass media. In an attempt to offer some advice to the Ministry of Education and Training
on the needed strategic adjustments for the remaining time of the Project, this paper analyzes
the status quo of recent English language initiatives in some Asian countries. The paper, then,
presents the recommendations for the locus of change that the Project needs to target at in its
remaining timelife.
Keywords: National Foreign Language Project 2020, experiences, Asian countries
