Sino-foreign cooperative education (SCE) has become one of the important ways of internationalization of higher education in China, and its English teaching is an essential link in SCE. However, there are some major sticking points in daily English teaching practice at SCE institutes. The curriculum is not entirely satisfactory in terms of course co-construction, teaching methodology and faculty training, etc. Therefore, this research, by taking Zhejiang University-University of Edinburgh Institute as an example, aims to explore the development status, problems and strategies of English teaching at Zhejiang University-University of Edinburgh Institute under the perspective of teaching excellence. This study was also conducted with a view to foster pluralism and provide useful references for the improvement of the quality of English teaching in SCE institutes.
