Cohesion of EFL Teaching at Chinese High Schools and Universities

Abstract

Fine cohesion of EFL teaching at high schools (including junior and senior ones) and universities can ensure the consistency of Chinese EFL educational policy, which has been a significant proposition in the field of Chinese EFL education in recent years. This paper, based upon the investigation of English Curriculum Standard of Senior English (For Trial Implementation ), employed the method of education policy analysis, examined the cohesion of the three phases (junior high school English, senior high school English and college English) from the perspectives of text and the “standard” implementation. Results indicated that although the “standard” had much room for improvement in the text, the cohesion of EFL teaching at the three phases proved to be good in terms of both theory and practice.
