Abstract

After the release of the double reduction policy, there has been a new educational trend in English language teaching in post-pandemic China, namely, reducing the importance of English subject while improving the quality and equity of English education. This paper examines the challenges of developing English language education in China in terms of quality (i.e., the examination-oriented English education system) and equity (i.e., the educational gap in school education and shadow education). Suggestions are provided for English education stakeholders to better develop high-quality and equitable English education.
