Crazy English (Chinese: 疯狂英语) is a brand name releated to a untraditional 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.
