Immersion in a foreign country (or immersion in horny foreign men in a topless bar) provides ample and unavoidable opportunities to learn an oral 2nd language. My poorly spoken Chinese has been acquired in that manner.

But Chinese students in China do not have that resource unless they live in certain neighborhoods in Beijing or Shanghai.

For a Chinese student, two academic years of oral English with China's most talented FT (me) is not as productive as two months stranded in Boise Idaho, Nottingham England or Ottawa Canada.

Well, don't know about that, Nottingham seems to be dominated by foreign taxi drivers who like to gang-bang young white girls- don't think they'd(the students) learn much more than 'get you legs open girl!' Be far safer and learn more with you.

No I was suggesting we get more workingclass men go to China and teach them students... maybe under the direction of a qualified ESL teacher like yourself.
