The pie charts compare various ways by which people in three different countries learned English in 2010 and 2015.
Overall, the primary means of learning the language was attending evening classes in all three countries. However, by the year 2015, the trend of online learning had emerged, most notably in Country B.
In 2010, online learning was dominant among learners in all countries, especially in Country C. To illustrate, a whopping 94% of learners there used this method, compared to Countries B and A, with respective figures of 72% and 70%. Nonetheless, because of such a high percentage of evening class attendees, there was only 6% of learners who went abroad to acquire language skills in Country C. This was comparatively lower than in other countries, where the figures accounted for 25% (Country A) and 20% (Country B). In Countries A and B, the most unpopular means was learning online, with 5% and 8% respectively, while none of Country C’s residents utilized the internet for this purpose.
By 2015, however, internet learning had become more popular, though the evening classes were still the primary source of knowledge. In Country A, the number of learners had doubled, which had become lower than that of in Country C with its first 15% online-learners. There was a fourfold increase in Country B, the figures reaching a staggering 32%. The number of traveling-abroad-learners showed a slight decrease in Country A (by 2%) and Country C (by 2%), while it did not change in Country B.
