A Discussion about Chinese EFL Classroom Ecology Imbalance

Abstract

With the launch of the Chinese informatization-based educational reform in 2004, it prompted a
series of changes in the traditional classroom ecology, the development of information technologies,
and the college EFL classroom teaching, which emerged from a disorderly to a stable state. The
varying degrees of informatization-based education reform in different regions in China, have
encountered a host of unforeseen problems. One of the significant issues is that the original
teacher-centered classroom ecology is no longer balanced. In this essay, the structure and function
of the current imbalanced EFL classroom ecology would be discussed to address out the reasons
why this long-existed classroom ecology has been changed with the introduction of information
technology.
