Abstract

This paper explores the performance of English teaching at university (ETU) in China and its influencing factors based on literature review and questionnaire analysis. The results of the questionnaires showed that the ETU performance in China could be promoted, which could be proved on the average scores of CET-4, CET-6, TOEFL, and IELTS, as well as respondent’s self-awareness of English communication. This paper found that English learner’s characteristics (ELC), English teaching environment in school (ETS), English teaching environment in the family (ETF) and respondents’ variables are the influence factors on the performance of ETU. The individual variables of respondents are their gender (GEN), residence (RES), education (EDU), foreign experience (FE). In order to improve the performance of ETU, the suggestions of the government could establish a flexible and innovative English learning mode; encourage the bilingual policies and education system; improve the bilingual services at cultural and educational centers; promote the internationalization of education system. The universities could provide more courses, competitions; and seminars related to English; establish the platform with the integrated English learning and translation resources, and implement the individuation learning strategies. This paper also suggests that families should create a bilingual service environment.
