Abstract

China and Japan share many historical origins in culture and language and have some similar theories and practices in the educational thoughts and teaching patterns. The paper compared the English teaching systems in China and Japan in terms of the curriculum, teaching objective, teaching mode and teaching effect, analyzed the common problems of English teaching in both countries, explored the educational, cultural and language factors that lead to the “high investment, low efficiency” in the English education by citing and analyzing TOEFL and IELTS scores, and finally summarized the enlightenment of Japan’s English teaching reform and practices on China. Although both countries suffer from the same problems such as dumb English, exam-oriented teaching and low efficiency, Japan’s reformations on English teaching, especially the assessment system and staff training requirements, can be a good reference for China’s English teaching reform to raise the general level of English teaching and learning in China.
