AUSTRALIA-CHINA: CHINESE CLASSES MISS POINT
China’s mass circulation newspaper, China Daily, has highlighted the paradox of Chinese who go abroad to study English only to find themselves in a classroom full of their countrymen. Australia constitutes one of the top destination countries for Chinese students going oversees, many of whom arrive expecting to mingle with locals. A cluster of students in class who speak a particular non-English language, such as Chinese, complicates teaching and learning. It also hinders interaction with local and other international students.
