As one of the two ‘educational special zones’ in China, Shanghai is launching a new round of curriculum reforms centring on lide shuren, viz. ‘fostering integrity and promoting rounded development of people’ (Hu 2012). Apart from piloting a new plan for Gaokao, the national college entrance examination in 2014, a ground-breaking endeavour by the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission was to establish 17 key research centres at higher institutions for 16 basic education subjects in an effort to push forward city-wide curriculum innovations through in-depth university-school collaborations. Founded in 2016, the Shanghai Centre for Research in English Language Education (SCRELE) is one of these key research platforms.

The Difference ◽  
To Come

This concluding chapter begins by describing the decline of English teaching in China. Although English is still the most popular foreign language for students taking the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE), the state has lately begun to expand the number of options available, including Japanese, German, and Spanish, particularly as those relate to expanding trade and global soft power. These indicators may presage a transformation of the English language industry in Shenyang to come, but it is important to appreciate the difference between the marketplace for language instruction and the more cultural dimensions of linguistic desire that this book discusses. A change in the economics of language schooling is an inevitable consequence of a maturing market. Similarly, the relatively minor reduction of English's weighting on university entrance exams underscores changes to the underlying ideology of education, but does not necessarily herald the doom of foreign languages in China or the elimination of English's linguistic capital. Nevertheless, the chapter surveys the ground traveled in this ethnography and highlights some of the issues brought to the fore. There is much still that could be said about language, education, and modernization in China, and the chapter points the way forward to further research on these topics.

With the extensive implementation of China’s new college entrance examination policy, the Continuation Task in the new college entrance examination has attracted wide attention from the academic circle, which also gives rise to plentiful relevant research. In the past, most of the research only focused on university foreign language education, which was rarely involved in English teaching in primary and secondary schools. Based on the Interactive Alignment Theory, this paper is going to analyze and study the Continuation Task, and try to put forward some teaching strategies for the teaching of the new task, so as to improve student's English proficiency level. According to the research, this paper finds out that "The Continuation Task" can give full play to the alignment effect between reading and writing, promote writing through reading, and thus promote the improvement of students' foreign language proficiency. Therefore, this essay can provide some insights into the teaching of English in high schools.

Resumes are critical for individuals to find jobs and for HR to select staffs. To explore the career patterns and demographic information correlation, 372,829 Chinese resumes working in Beijing in 2015 are collected with rich attributes. Besides, 1,837,281 documents in the People's Daily from May 1946 to December 2015 and the national college entrance examination scores of 42 majors in 27 Beijing universities from 2005 to 2015 are collected to build the multi-source dataset to assist resume data mining. The decade characteristics and major characteristics are explored from the multi-source dataset. Based on the data observation, an interactive visualization system called ResumeVis is developed to explore career patterns in the context of the times, especially the correlations among the resume attributes. The system is helpful for both job seekers and human resources.
