Keynote Speech I Towards the Glocalization of TEFL in China

LI Li

[Abstract] In international English language teaching circles,globalization should not be a one-way process.We should not blindly follow or imitate what other peoples are doing in ELT.We must contribute our own beliefs,theories,view points and methodologies to the global ELT.This is called glocalization of TEFL in China.
