Abstract

The “double reduction” policy is a major initiative in China’s education reform in 2021, which has caused a great impact on today’s English tutoring institutions. As a leading enterprise in the English tutoring industry, New Oriental actively responded to the policy, made rational decisions in a timely manner, and constantly explored feasible solutions. This paper sets New Oriental as an example to study its course reform under the “double reduction” policy with in-depth investigations into the English curriculum system of three tutoring brands: POPKIDS English, junior high school section of the U-can Secondary School and Lexue Oriental. According to the research, it is found that the reformed Lexue Oriental is superior to the conventional curricula in terms of its curriculum structure, curriculum objective and learning mode, which serves as a successful example of flexible transformation under the “double reduction” policy. It is hoped that this paper can provide other English tutoring institutions several suggestions on the reform of curriculum system, transformation direction and development prospects in the future.
