Those who are good at the TOEIC can't speak English, while Americans are not good at English grammar

If you are an English teacher in Japan, you can't stay away from the existence of the TOEIC test. It is widely believed that if you have a TOEIC score of over 900, you are really good at English. However, if you live in Japan, you may come across a lot of Japanese who have gotten scores of over 900 and who can't speak English good enough.

Talking about myself, my latest score is over 900. But, I surely know that my English is not that good, as you may notice it from my poor writing.

Anyway, most Japanese who've got higher TOEIC scores is just good at exams. Actually, most Japanese bilingual English teachers know this well but they need to keep teaching the TOEIC coures to make ends meet.

Another thing that may often be mentioned in English teaching industry is that Americans are often poor at grammar. According to my colleague's observation, one of American teachers I'm working at have said "I'm looking forward to see you." Of course, you have to say "I'm looking forward to seeing you." I don't know whether or not Americans are really bad at English grammar, but I can say that some of Americans who live in Japan for teaching English can get English teaching jobs much easier than Japanese teachers or other native-speaking teachers such as Australian teachers and Canadians teachers, and that they are not serious about their jobs. I wonder how much they can get on the TOEIC test. Full mark (990)? Or less than 900.
