English Language Teaching in China: A Bridge to the Future
Abstract
In this paper, the authors outline the development of ELT in the PRC in the last 10 years or so as seen in the wider context of educational reform in the country and the new direction towards quality education. Despite the influence of communicative language teaching and other language teaching approaches from outside the country, ELT in China has retained some of its essentially “Chinese characteristics”. As for the future of ELT in the PRC, the authors feel that, given the growing importance of English and the enormous energy and enthusiasm in the PRC for learning the language in both the formal and informal contexts, ELT will continue to flourish. After all, for many individuals and for the country itself, English is a bridge to the future.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
