requirements of China College English

Curriculum.

Course Design Course Design – Key Remarks– Key Remarks

…… In designing College English courses, requirements for increasing competence in listening and

speaking should be fully considered, and corresponding teaching hours and credits should be

adequately allocated. Moreover, the extensive use of advanced information technology should be

encouraged, computer- and web- based courses should be developed, and students should be

provided with a favorable environment and facilities for language learning…… (page 24)

…… All the courses, whether computer-based or classroom-based, should be fully individual-

orientated, taking into account students with different starting points, so that students who start from

lower levels with be well taken care of while students whose English is better will find room for

further development…… (page 24)

Teaching Model Teaching Model – Key Remarks– Key Remarks

…… Colleges and universities should remould the existing, unitary, teacher-centered pattern of

language teaching by introducing computer- and classroom- based teaching models. The new model

should be built on modern information technology, particularly network technology, so that English

language teaching and learning will be, to a certain extent, free from the constraints of time or place

and geared towards students’ individualized and autonomous learning…… (page 25)

…… Colleges and universities should explore and establish a web-based listening and speaking

teaching model that suits their own needs in line with their own conditions and students’ English

proficiency, and deliver listening and speaking courses via the intranet or campus network……

(page 25)

Evaluation Evaluation – Key Remarks– Key Remarks

…… A comprehensive, objective, scientific and accurate evaluation system is of vital importance to

the achievement of course goals. It not only helps teachers obtain feedback, improve the

administration of teaching, and ensure teaching quality but also provides students with an effective

means to adjust their learning strategies and methods, improve their learning efficiency and achieve

the desired learning effects…… (page 26-27)

…… Summative assessment is conducted at the end of a teaching phase. It mainly consists of final

tests and proficiency tests, designed to evaluate students’ all-round ability to use English…… (page
