Abstract

Chapter 5 investigated attitudes to change in ELT for master’s students undertaking a training programme in TEFL/TESL. The students, all experienced teachers of English, came from a variety of countries.

I will take a more positive attitude towards life and everything.

China is in a phase of industrial, scientific and commercial expansion which will make it the world’s largest economy by the early years of the next century. In order to function efficiently in this role, it needs to bring large numbers of its people to high levels of proficiency in the use of English for a wide variety of functions.
