English Education in China in My eyes
Foreword
English has become one of the major required courses in most of Chinese schools. It is also a stepping-stone of one’s development in life, resulting in more than 200 million people apart from a large number of adult English learners and even baby learners rush to learn English.
At the same time, a huge number of English major graduates can not find a job and 90 percent of translation posts can not find the suitable talent (news from Guangming Daily on 5th page, 27th march, 2009). Many people who concentrate their mind on English education have seen that English education in China today is not only wasting a great deal of manpower, material, resource, but also damaging Chinese nation’s self-confidence.
In this condition, the meanings of exploring the problems of English education and improving English education in China on the theoretical level are significative and much beyond only a curriculum reform.

In 1903, China began to set universally the foreign language class in the primary school and university (Fu Ke, 1986).
After the foundation of People's Republic of China, the country constituted the program of seven-year-plan of foreign language education in 1964, and it is the first time in the formal file of China to put forward that English is the first foreign language in Chinese schools（Hu Wenzhong, 2001）.
At the beginning of 21century, the third round of crazy rush to English study in China came with China’s successful participation in WTO and hosting Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.
