Abstract

This paper attempts to explore how Chinese TESOL students who trained in the United Kingdom and the United States adapt to Chinese classrooms under the background of the rise of language teaching and the expanding demand for English teachers in China. This paper argues that under the trend of globalization, the increasing exchanges between countries have promoted the rise of language teaching. English is widely used in the world, and the development of English teaching is undoubtedly of great significance to the development of globalization. This paper first analyzes TESOL postgraduate courses offered in The UK and the US, and concludes that TESOL attaches importance to the training of teachers’ teaching practice ability. On this basis, it simply describes the English teaching model advocated by TESOL. The main part of this paper discusses in detail the problems faced by TESOL teaching model in classroom teaching in China. The study found that the teaching mode advocated by TESOL was formulated according to the characteristics of western classrooms, which was inconsistent with China’s national conditions and difficult to be applied in China. This is due to objective limitations, such as the phenomenon of large class teaching in China, the teacher-centered teaching model and the exam-oriented evaluation mechanism. It is suggested that Chinese students should fully understand the national conditions of China’s teaching practice before studying abroad, and compare and reflect the knowledge taught in the course with China’s national conditions during the learning process.
