Dewey
Change puts a definite responsibility upon the schools to sustain our true national democratic spirit. The virtues of mutual esteem, human forbearance and well-wishing, which in our earlier days were unconscious root of an education which forms the deepest springs of character.

Schools can be a vehicle for social change, but let us not overestimate the strength, actual or potential, of that impact. Far more powerful is the impact of society on schools, an impact that in recent decades has been as fruitless as it has been powerful.

There is a joke: It is about a man who in the dead of winter was ill and went to his physician. After a through examination he was told to go home, take off all his clothes, open all the windows, stand in front of them, and breathe deeply and long. To which the man responded in amazement: “But, doctor, if I do that I will get pneumonia!” And the doctor replied: “That is something I know how to deal with.” Educational reformers take note.

Strategies on EFL Teaching and Learning
Cultural awareness should be the first lesson to learn.
Integrate our Chinese culture into the EFL teaching and learning. Such as Buddhism,Taosim,etc.
The tertiary position: not replace national identity with an international identity.

Tactics on EFL Teaching and Learning(refer to some of the paras. of Stephen B. & Betty Leaver, 1997)
Learning by doing should be the main theme of the classroom tactic.
Total integration of language and content learning.
From top-down to buttom-up in organization of classroom activities.
Affective factors(students’feeling and emotional reactions) should play more important role in students’ motivation.
![Page 21: SWOT Analysis on Chinese EFL Teaching & Learning Lecturer: Li Jing Associate Professor Foreign Language Institute of Nankai University in China](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051415/56649d8a5503460f94a70c77/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Classroom goals are focused on all of the components of communicative competence and not restricted to grammatical or linguistic competence.
Language techniques are designed to engage learners in the pragmatic, authentic, functional use of language for meaningful purposes.
![Page 22: SWOT Analysis on Chinese EFL Teaching & Learning Lecturer: Li Jing Associate Professor Foreign Language Institute of Nankai University in China](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051415/56649d8a5503460f94a70c77/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Fluency and accuracy are seen as complementary principles underlying communicative techniques.
In the communicative classroom, students ultimately have to use the language, productively and receptively, in unrehearsed contexts.

As a Chinese minister said:
For English language teaching in China, we need a method that is Chinese.
