Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Texas at Austin, 1991.

Although English-language study in the People's Republic of China (PRC) has been treated extensively in the literature, virtually all reports have come from teachers or curriculum experts. Another group of experts--the learners themselves--has been virtually ignored. To identify for pedagogical purposes the characteristics of Chinese college students whom foreign teachers of English are likely to encounter in typical Chinese classrooms, an anonymous two-part descriptive survey of cultural values and attitudes toward English-language learning and teaching was administered to 512 men and women ranging in age from 18 to 52. Cooperating teachers in fifteen colleges or universities in Shanghai, Beijing, and nine provinces administered the semi-structured and open-ended questionnaire during regular class periods in the spring of 1988 and the spring of 1989. Quantitative data were subjected to statistical analysis. Qualitative data generated by verbatim student comments complement quantitative data.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Although English-language study in the People's Republic of China (PRC) has been treated extensively in the literature, virtually all reports have come from teachers or curriculum experts. Another group of experts--the learners themselves--has been virtually ignored. To identify for pedagogical purposes the characteristics of Chinese college students whom foreign teachers of English are likely to encounter in typical Chinese classrooms, an anonymous two-part descriptive survey of cultural values and attitudes toward English-language learning and teaching was administered to 512 men and women ranging in age from 18 to 52. Cooperating teachers in fifteen colleges or universities in Shanghai, Beijing, and nine provinces administered the semi-structured and open-ended questionnaire during regular class periods in the spring of 1988 and the spring of 1989. Quantitative data were subjected to statistical analysis. Qualitative data generated by verbatim student comments complement quantitative data.
520 $a Regarding 40 cultural values, descriptive statistics show that contemporary Chinese college students perceive Education, Trustworthiness, and Self-Cultivation as most important. Non-Competitiveness, Moderation, and Being Conservative are perceived as least important. Respect for Tradition ranks 33rd ("Of little importance"). Students exhibit a strong tendency toward individualism, rather than toward the collectivism generally associated with traditional Chinese society. T-tests and chi-square procedures demonstrate that males and females, younger and older students, English majors and non-English majors do--quite literally--inhabit different perceptual worlds. Scoring 40 cultural values, females predominate over males at 8 of 9 places in which analysis at the demographic level of sex reveals significant differences. Older students and non-English majors pair at 8 of 13 points at which significant differences occur in relation to age and major field.
520 $a Regarding student perceptions of reading, writing, listening, and speaking in English, descriptive statistics show that 75 percent of all students report feeling most confident and comfortable when reading or speaking English, least confident and comfortable when writing or listening. Chi-square procedures reveal no significant differences in student perceptions of the four English skills in relation to sex but do reveal 8 points at which age and major field are implicated. Almost without exception, students call for greater class participation and more interesting classroom activities.
520 $a This study finds that Chinese college students of English are chiefly characterized by great diversity and complexity. The impact of such diversity and complexity upon classroom activities, teaching methods, materials development, and testing procedures is discussed.
