Crazy English is a brand name related to an alternative method of learning English in Mainland China, conceived by Li Yang. Li believes that the traditional way of learning English in China is ineffective. Li Yang's method places heavy emphasis on practicing English orally. His method can be described with the quote, to shout out loud, you learn. Students practice his technique by going behind buildings or on rooftops and shouting English. They also go to his rallies and shout together. This helps them overcome their shyness. Everybody is doing it, so nobody is embarrassed. Members of the school administration in China disapprove of this method because they believe it goes against traditional Chinese values of modesty and restraint. Crazy English originated when Li Yang, also known as Crazy Li, was very concerned about passing a Chinese standardized test on English for college students. During his studies, he found that reading his assigned English work out loud was very effective for him. When he finally took the test, he earned the second highest score in his department. Soon after his excellent performance on the exam, he gave a lecture on his method of learning English. Li Yang graduated from Langzhou University in nineteen ninety. After graduation, he continued practicing English using this method, often standing on top of the office building where he worked and shouting English. He did not start promoting his method on a large scale until nineteen ninety-four, when he founded Li Yang Crazy English Promotion Studio. Since then, his method has been very popular. It currently has approximately twenty million practitioners, including several foreign teachers.
