First of all, from a policy perspective, the China government has been promoting the popularization and development of English education. For example, the new English curriculum standard for compulsory education emphasizes the practicality and communication of English education, aiming at improving students' English application ability. In addition, the government encourages students to actively participate in English learning and improve their English level through various means, such as holding English speech contests and English corners.
Secondly, from the distribution of educational resources, there is a certain gap between urban and rural areas and between regions in China. Some cities and developed areas are rich in English education resources and students have excellent learning conditions; However, in some rural areas and underdeveloped areas, English education resources are relatively scarce and students' learning conditions are poor. This gap affects the fairness of English education to some extent.
Thirdly, from the perspective of teaching methods and evaluation system, there are still some problems in English education in China. For example, pay too much attention to the teaching of grammar and vocabulary, while ignoring the comprehensive training of listening, speaking, reading and writing; Too much reliance on test scores to evaluate students' English proficiency, ignoring the investigation of students' actual English application ability. These problems need further reform and improvement in education departments and schools.
Generally speaking, English education in China in 2022 has made progress in policy support, resource allocation, teaching methods and evaluation system, but there are also some problems and challenges. In the future, China needs to continue to promote the modernization and internationalization of English education, improve the quality and effect of English education, and lay a solid foundation for cultivating talents with international vision and intercultural communication ability.
