- ABSTRACT
As the most widely spoken language in the world, English has become an important tool for international communication. English learning is a hot topic in whole society. However, there is still a lack of systematic understanding that how gender differences influence Chinese students' English learning. Therefore, this article reviews the previous research on gender differences and language, then points out the influence of gender differences on Chinese students’ English learning from two aspects: internal causes and external causes. Ultimately, this paper provides several appropriate teaching strategies for English learning, suggesting that non-intelligence factors of the learners should be analyzed in English teaching and some countermeasures need to be put forward to reduce the differences between men and women in English learning; and teachers should also discover the common psychological characteristics of men and women and then conduct purposeful and structured teaching.
