It all begins from
Executive Yuan’s goal in 2002 「Challenge 2008: National development plan」is about creating an international living environment and increasing English proficiency of all; however, the learning curve in English has remained unsatisfactory for years. Most of English learning in Taiwan presently focuses mainly on vocabulary, grammar, and reading, and students spend a cornucopia of time studying them. They may have a good ability on reading but with difficulty speaking out. Therefore, how to create an environment for learning English and encourage students to start speaking English became a crucial agenda.
In the recent years, South Korean government has aimed to improve their people’s English abilities and even spent tons of money building up the biggest English village in the world.　From buildings to transportations, they imitate the towns in England in every particular detail. All the students who come to the town, of course, should only speak English. Bureau of Education chooses Wunchang middle school as the location of the middle school English Village, which may not be as big as the one in Korea , but it will be the first one in Taiwan .

In the recent years, the basic English education in Taiwan has begun at the elementary school level; therefore, bilingual schools or English Buxiban have become more popular than ever before. However, excluding public schools, not every family can afford a huge amount of money on additional English classes. So, they can only count on boring and reading-oriented classes in school, and that will reduce students' interest in learning English.
On the basis of "Give Kids Global Hope", Happy English Village not only provides students with an immersed language learning enviroment but develops students' confidence and interests in learning English. Most importantly, students can learn English by daily life experience.
