Li, Minglin, & Baldauf, R. (2011). Beyond the curriculum: A Chinese example of issues constraining effective English language teaching. TESOL Quarterly, 45(4), 793-803.
摘要:At different times, the orientation of English language curricula for schools in Asia has been adjusted to meet changing sociopolitical and educational trends. In much of the region, the emphasis has shifted from linguistic knowledge and skills to communicative language competence. The authors contend that if language teaching is to be more communicative in the Asian contexts, there is a need to investigate the extent of factors that constrain the implementation of communicative language teaching (e.g., large class sizes, limited teacher proficiency, insufficient resources and instructional time, examination pressure, and cultural resistance). The situation in China is examined in particular. Adapted from the source document
