Abstract

This article reports the views of 30 Chinese university students on the

appropriateness and effectiveness of communicative and non-

communicative activities in their English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL)

courses in China. Using multimethod, qualitative research procedures, the

researcher discovered that the perceptions of these students sometimes

surprised their teachers, and that the students’ perceived difficulties

caused by Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) had their source in

the differences between the underlying educational theories of China and

those of Western countries. The results suggest that, to update English

teaching methods, EFL countries like China need to modernize, not

westernize, English teaching; that is, to combine the ‘‘new’’ with the ‘‘old’’

to align the communicative approach with traditional teaching structures.

It is apparent from the study that only by reconciling com-municative

activities with non-communicative activities in English

classrooms can students in non-English speaking countries benefit

from CLT. # 2022年 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction Z. Rao / System 30 (2022年) 85C105

Recent attempts to introduce CLT into EFL teaching in China have

provoked a great deal of comment and debate. Whereas some accounts

have emphasized the value of adopting CLT in China (e.g. Li, 1984; Maley,

1984; Spenser, 1986), others have noted the importance of Chinese

traditional ways of teaching and learning (e.g. Harvey, 1985; Ting, 1987;

Sampson, 1990). However, the majority of accounts have focused on the

need to adapt CLT to the demands and conditions for language learning
