Abstract

The perspective of language education planning provides new insights into the study of English education in Chinese and Western universities. By systematically examining the differences between the two models in terms of their development history, teaching status, planning policies, etc., the intrinsic characteristics and development trends can be deeply analyzed. The study shows that Chinese university English education focuses on language skills training, follows standardized teaching and assessment models, and conforms to the development logic led by government guidance and planning. In contrast, Western university English education emphasizes the cultivation of humanities literacy, advocates personalized teaching and diverse evaluation methods, and conforms to the inherent requirements of market demand and autonomous development. The comparative study results suggest that Chinese university English education should be based on its own positioning, deepen teaching reform, establish a sound evaluation system, expand international cooperation space, improve policy guarantee mechanisms, comprehensively enhance the quality of English education and international competitiveness, and lay a solid foundation for cultivating internationally-oriented talents in the new era. This research has important reference value for promoting the development of Chinese-style, world-class university English education.
