摘要
This article will focus on five key areas relating to Primary TEFL in China.Firstly,the real TEFL context in Chinese primary schools will be discussed in terms of its special characteristics.Secondly,the current methodological approach will be examined from both a theoretical perspective,focusing on government(MOE)policy for primary TEFL,and a practical perspective,based on personal observations of classroom practice.The third section of the article will highlight some perceived shortcomings of current practice,while the fourth will outline the actual needs of primary learners in the Chinese educational system.Finally,the question of how teachers can meet these needs will be examined in relation to:methodological integration; integration of skills and sub-skills teaching/learning;and the exploitation of materials and activities to provide learners with three different types of language input and output opportunities(extensive,intensive and analysed:Swan,2006).
This article will focus on five key areas relating to Primary TEFL in China. Firstly, the real TEFL context in Chinese primary schools will be discussed in terms of its special characteristics. Secondly, the current methodological approach will be examined from both a theoretical perspective, focusing on government （MOE） policy for primary TEFL, and a practical perspective, based on personal observations of classroom practice. The third section of the article will highlight some perceived shortcomings of current practice, while the fourth will outline the actual needs of primary learners in the Chinese educational system. Finally, the question of how teachers can meet these needs will be examined in relation to： methodological integration; integration of skills and sub-skills teaching/learning; and the exploitation of materials and activities to provide learners with three different types of language input and output opportunities （extensive, intensive and analysed： Swan, 2006）.
