In an interesting counterpoint to the movement in the US to declare English to be the sole official language - a move aimed against Hispanic immigrants - Reuters has a report on children in South Korea being pressured to learn English.
Some say that English is critical to Korea's economic competitiveness, and that the present school system is dysfunctional in general, and doesn't teach English in particular. Also, the article mentions that South Koreans form the largest international student group in the US.
