  ABSTRACT: This paper first discusses the Chinese culture of teaching and learning and then further explores the appropriateness of adopting CLT through explorations into the past research on CLT in China. Finally, due to numerous cultural factors and difficulties in adapting CLT, this paper suggests an alternative approach by introducing the Context Approach, before a conclusion is drawn.
