内容大纲
This book is an attempt to look inside the teaching and learning of Englishlanguage in Chinese secondary schools. It is a product of the work done aspart of my doctoral studies at the University of Sheffield in the UK. In the past,many researchers have identified a variety of problems militating against theeffective teaching and learning of English in Chinese secondary schools.However, very few of them explored recent changes and developments inEnglish Language Teaching (ELT) in China. I was motivated to embark onthis work by the lack of research that explicitly focused on the teaching ofEnglish in both private and public Chinese secondary schools. My objectiveis to bring to light the teacher's role in the English language teaching andlearning process and to highlight some of the factors bedevilling the effectiveteaching and learning of English within the Chinese secondary schools' context.Apart from identifying the problems and finding out the changes in the field, Ibelieve that it is also important to find a way to address these problems inorder to further develop the ELT curriculum. -
