Abstract:
English education has long been practiced in China. Until the modern times, the Opium War opened the door of China and also opened its modern history of foreign language education. After the founding of PRC, English education has begun to draw much attention, especially since the reform and opening-up, and great progress has been made in English education. Reviewing and studying the history and development of English education policy in China is of great significance for us to clarify the evolution of English education policy and better understand the development and reform of Chinese English language education.
