hello everyone!!

I'm here to bring all of you the controversial issue in universities in China, especially in English department of some universiities.

Take the students in the English department in my university as an example, when we're having oral English lesson. My teacher from Britain always says,'' oh! that's a big challenge for me!" do you know why?? because most of the students will never give the teacher their feedback. They just listen and learn. That's different from western class style,right?  To my teacher's surprise, the students who are always quiet could get high marks in any other subject, such as English writing,etc.

And I'm focusing on this point and doing some research about it.

Could you please give me your answers towards these questions?

any comments are welcomed as well~~
