Abstract

English has been selected as a compulsory subject at Chinese universities for several decades; however, students’ English competence has still not reached a satisfactory level. This is sometimes due to the fact that the balance between teachers’ input and students’ output is difficult to achieve. Given that speaking is an acknowledged weakness of Chinese English learners and the most direct approach to testify students’ output, the research context is constrained to English speaking classes at Chinese universities. Thus this essay makes an attempt to explore English teachers’ beliefs about balancing input and output in the interactive classroom based on a case study of speaking classes by means of online interviews.
