This rather forlorn comment comes from a middle school English teacher recently returned to his school in a remote province of China, full of enthusiasm for the new methods of teaching English gathered over two years away on a teacher-training course held in Shanghai. It gives the title to a recently published study of the fate that met this teacher and others like him after they had completed their course. Conducted by staff at Shanghai International Studies University (SISU), this set out to contribute to the evaluation of two in-service training courses for teachers of English held at that university through a follow-up study of former trainees. The study took place under the auspices of the Chinese State Education Commission and the British Overseas Development Administration, as did the two courses themselves. The most recent of these was a senior middle school teacher training (SMSTT) course for teachers working in less developed areas of China. This two-year course, designed and run at five universities, is still in operation at SISU and formed the primary focus of attention of the study. The other was a one-year course in advanced teacher training (ATT) for lecturers in higher education.展开更多
