    DescriptionHeadline appeared on SCMP.com: Pronunciation errors: do they point to a decline in Hong Kong’s English standards?

    Prof. Andrew Sewell responded to a survey conducted by market research company MPEG about the declining English standards in Hong Kong based pronunciation.

    Prof. Sewell said there had not been "convincing evidence" of falling standards of English pronunciation, noting in fact a modest increase in standards for last year's Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education exam and the IELTS language test.
