本文报道了20世纪80年代中期以来中华人民共和国英语教学的改革。本文首先简要回顾了文化大革命期间和随后几年的英语教学，为研究最近的发展提供了一个背景。然后，它考察了课程政策、教学大纲设计、教科书制作、考试和研究方面的最新重要发展，这些发展正在并将继续对中国的英语教学产生深远影响。这些发展不仅在国家层面上进行了讨论，而且还特别提到了上海，上海一直处于全国英语教学改革的前沿。本文还讨论了改革中出现的一些问题，包括基于内容的英语教学（CBEI）的要求、目的语文化教学、教师培训以及缺乏扎实的实证研究。
This paper reports on reforms in English-language teaching (ELT) in the People's Republic of China (PRC) since the mid-1980s. It begins with a brief review of ELT during the Cultural Revolution and in the immediate following years to provide a background against which more recent developments can be examined. It then examines recent important developments in curriculum policy, syllabus design, textbook production, examinations, and research that are producing, and will continue to exert, profound influences on ELT in the PRC. These developments are discussed not only at the national level but also with specific reference to Shanghai, which has been in the forefront of ELT reforms in the country. Also discussed are a number of issues arising from the reforms that include the demands of content-based English instruction (CBEI), teaching about target language culture, teacher training, and lack of solid empirical research.
