Tiivistelmä
The thesis research aims to investigate on the current situation of English Language education in China, identifying and analyzing the quality assessment set by institutions, factors and practices that lead to non-fulfilment within the different education sectors, public and private.
The aim of the research is to sketch a range of issues relating to current English education in China that precludes an equal development. Hence, an analysis of the socio-economic situation will attempt to find correlation with aspects that can damage equal educational opportunities.
Supported by the collection of statistical data, released by governmental institutions, and the comparison of these with studies by other scholars, it was crucial to alert an undergoing socio-economic disparity in the country. Therefore, the study encourages the idea that consequently to the current uneven economic development, there is also a disparity in the status of English language education among Chinese regions.
English language has been, for decades, a tool of study and work for both Chinese inside China and abroad. Some published research has identified a correlation between English education and the economic growth of a country. The thesis research attempts to reflect on this correlation, reporting the facts that support such a statement.
Finally, the research supports the idea in which quality is a multi-dimensional matter that occurs within different tiers of educational institutions, besides different forces affecting directly and indirectly the implementation and development of the quality assessment.
