Assembly explores English education in new era

Li Hai, deputy director of the Ministry of Education's Department of International Cooperation and Exchanges, said it is expected that English education in China with its own characteristics will reach the world level when there is deep understanding of the connotations of foreign language education in the new era.

"It is of great significance to link English education with the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture, opening-up and exchanges with the outside world in the new era," he said.
