“Dumb English” as a Career Ceiling: Strong Reading and Writing, Weak Oral Skills
The Hong Kong workplace demands precision and efficiency. While many professionals have solid reading and writing skills, they often lose confidence during multinational meetings or high-pressure interview negotiations due to pronunciation challenges. The local education system’s long-standing exam-oriented culture, which “emphasizes reading and writing while neglecting listening and speaking,” combined with the outflow of core talent aged 31 to 40, means that if the new generation’s spoken communication skills are not improved, Hong Kong’s linguistic advantage as an international financial center could be further weakened.
