Features: This book conducts a series of comprehensive reform explorations in adult English teaching, a field that has yet to be systematically addressed but is increasingly important. It uses relevant theories from education, linguistics, psychology, statistics, and other disciplines to explain and argue the key aspects of the reform practices. This includes detailed surveys and interviews on the traditional English listening teaching, speaking teaching, grammar teaching, reading teaching, writing, and translation teaching, as well as targeted attempts at systematic reforms in textbooks, teaching methods, and teaching assessment models. All research is based on considerations that focus on adult students and integrate teaching practice with social needs. The book also conducts feedback surveys, summarizes, and concludes the effectiveness of the teaching reforms, and proposes relevant reflections and suggestions for further in-depth development of English teaching reforms in the future.
