Dooley, Karen

Reviews literature on English as a Second Language teaching in China, examining stereotypes of Chinese learners to highlight mismatches between Chinese students' learning dispositions and expatriates' teaching dispositions. A sociological analysis describes the construction of students as obedient at one Shanghai secondary school in the 1990s. Implications for preparing culturally informed teachers for China and other contexts are discussed. (SM)
