Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of introducing WAC pedagogies into Chinese higher education and their possible adaptation using the qualitative descriptive analysis of 28 interviews of Chinese faculty, higher education administrators, and potential employers, and eight interviews with US WAC experts. This chapter analyzes the results of the 28 Chinese interviews in relation to Research Questions (RQ) 1 and 2 introduced in Chapter 1.

We should not just feed the students apples; we should teach them how to pick apples.
