- Abstract
Nowadays, Chinese students must learn English in the nine-year compulsory education and the international elites also need English as an asset. However, there are apparent differences when people examine the methods that teachers across the world use to teach English. Through the comparative analytical method, this paper discusses and compares the differences between Chinese traditional English teaching methods and that of TESOL in their teaching goal, class activities, homework and results. The former uses fixed teaching methods under the exam-oriented curriculum, and there can be more changes in the ways it uses to teach to make classes more interesting. Yet, it is good at making students remember grammar rules or words. The latter continues to develop other approaches, and the related homework takes on various forms for students of different age groups (such as presentations, essays, listening to English music and word hunts). The use of mixed methods is recommended to avoid the unbalanced practice of language domains for both Chinese traditional English teaching methods and that of TESOL.
