- Abstract
This article aims to analyze the gender differences in English learning of Chinese students based on four perspectives: listening, reading, writing, speaking. By investigating gender differences in different sections and their root causes, it aims to improve English education qualities and learning strategies in China. This article illustrates that there is significant gender difference between males and females with regards to listening section and women outperformed their men counterparts. With regards to reading, the same pattern can be found between males and females. However, men are at superior positions than women when it comes to writing due to their clear logic and structure. As for speaking, the abilities of female students and male students were poor compared to listening, reading and writing. This phenomenon is influenced by Chinese English teaching pattern that focus on interpreting grammar and is likely to ignore oral English.
