Abstract
The aim of this study is to know the appraisal of the agents involved in the implementation of a course designed for developing the oral communication effectiveness of Chinese workers. For the course, we advocated an eclectic methodology in which teaching resources of different kinds were applied to optimize language learning considering the specific needs of the learners. We decided the participation of two teachers per group and a linguistic and cultural Chinese mediator and we also took into account the methodology currently followed in the Chinese centers: the traditional approach (grammar-translation) and structural (Yang, 2013). In this observational descriptive study, the course participants (6 teachers, 6 assistants and 59 students) answered a questionnaire about different factors such as methodology, design of materials, resources used, use of the mother tongue, learners reactions to certain tasks, role of teachers and assistants. The results show satisfaction with the methodology, resources and materials used.References
