A recent BBC documentary, which filmed an experiment in which five Chinese teachers taught 50
students according to Chinese-style education norms at a school in the United Kingdom, has sparked a
__1 online debate on whether Chinese or Western methods are better. But 2 a debate is not new,
despite the talk of a cultural clash.
The West has for long promoted small classes 3 focus on students' individuality and
differences, emphasize student-teacher interactions and attach great importance to cultivating students'
independence, creativity and ability to communicate. In 4 , classes in China are 5 (that is,
they have many students), in which teachers are the center, and emphasize uniformity, discipline and
teachers' authority. Chinese teaching methods focus on students' diligence, obedience and (for want of a
better term) ability to imitate.
The latest online 6 has again raised the question: Which teaching method is better, the
Chinese or the Western? For long, most Chinese people and 7 have taken it for granted that the
Western education model is superior to the Chinese.
But with the rise of China, especially after Shanghai students' excellent performance in the Program

Many Chinese now believe China's basic education system lays a more solid foundation for
students compared with its 11 counterparts. The main reason for 12 is most of the Chinese
students who go to Western countries for higher education perform excellently despite having to follow
Western curricula, 13 Western students usually find it difficult to cope with China's teaching
methods.
Media reports say the BBC will use a third party to assess how competent students traveling either
way are in mathematics, science, English and Chinese before determining which education model is
more useful for students, the Chinese 14 the Western. But such comparison and 15 are
unscientific.
A country uses a teaching method only as a tool used to realize a specific social purpose, and thus
comparisons 16 the Chinese and Western education models are uncalled for. Before comparing
one education model with 17 , researchers and analysts should consider the different functions
different teaching methods are supposed to perform in their respective social context.
China's education model is more suited to its social demands; the same applies to the Western
model. Despite the Chinese government 18 the cultivation of creative talents, many Chinese still
