Summary
This paper will discuss one part of school literacy in China, to be specific, how do ethnic groups start learning English, their difficulties and problems in current situation, and suggested solutions are provided for guiding students’ literacy success. Historians have great interests on the history and development of specific group; ethnographies focus on origin and transformation of minority people; linguists pay special attention to their minority educations and languages. As an EFL teacher in Yunnan, to pay particular focus on the diverse ways of school literacy by ethnic minority students will make a contribution to this international endeavor of education for sustainable development. To narrow down my concerns of this paper are how do ethnic people start to learn English; what is their learning situation, what might be problems in their contexts and what are possible solutions.
