Teaching English at a Distance in China’s Radio and Television Universities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/p>\n

English language teaching (ELT<\/span>) has played an important role in the Chinese Radio and Television Universities (RTVU) network since its establishment in the late 1970s. Based on a literature review and reflection from an insider’s perspective, this paper gives a full account of the RTVU distance\u00a0ELT<\/span>model, examining how it supports autonomous language learning, how autonomy features in its English courses\/programmes and how well the students respond to the model. It also discusses issues related to the improvement of the model, including student support, course production, curriculum design, course assessment, and staff development. It is argued that\u00a0ELT<\/span>\u00a0in RTVUs should not be ignored in the international academic community although not much is known about it outside China, and that the RTVU model may be of practical relevance to other open and distance learning contexts.
