Abstract
Facework strategy, which takes learners’ face-needs into account, is a dispensable part in teaching strategies. Based on researches done on facework, this study examines college English teachers’ application of facework strategies within EFL classroom, mainly by means of qualitative and quantitative methods. It presents a picture of how teachers use facework strategies in the EFL classroom, especially how teachers use different facework strategies to satisfy learners’ face-needs in class. The analysis of the study proves that no matter what types of facework strategies are applied, the purpose is to create a pleasant and harmonious context for the learners, to initiate their self-esteem and enthusiasm in their study, and achieve effective teaching.
