The authors have performed a questionnaire based research with the sample of 130 university students learning Chinese at different English learning institutes at Xi'an, Shanxi, China. The analysis of the findings in this research highlights the reasons behind the growing trends of English learning and also describes the teaching methodology for effective language teaching in the Chinese perspective.展开更多
