For three weeks in 1979, a team of four specialists sponsored by the U.S. International Communication Agency visited China for the purpose of surveying diverse aspects of English teaching there. The authors visited 21 educational institutions in 5 cities. This article describes aspects of language teaching policy in China, English curricula, teaching materials, and teaching methodology used at various levels of English instruction.
