摘要

Introduction In this article we discuss making use of applied linguistic theory, as the means of achieving national standards at tertiary level. We contest that methods now widely in use at colleges and universities are insufficient to reach modern nationwide targets. We suggest modifications in teaching approach and present ideas for supplementing and enlivening existing materials or replacing them. Much of the article is drawn from our converging experiences both as a Chinese university teacher of English from one aspect and as an English EFL specialist from another. We speak jointly from the ’chalkface’ and wish to share our views and be provoked into seeking solutions to the new challenges for Chinese EFL inherent in targets set by the national standards.
