ABSTRACT

The teaching reformation and innovation in higher education has been a topical issue which is being widely discussed in the current education field. According to the recent key-points of the Ministry of Education, universities and colleges should explore new development modes which not only reflect the features of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a new era but also serve to national and regional economic and social development in a better way. To achieve that, faculty in universities and colleges should proactively apply new teaching methods to the teaching process. Aiming to respond to the central government's lead, this paper analyzes the feasibility of utilizing Appreciative Inquiry in the process of teaching reformation. In the meanwhile, it illustrates the basic concepts and doable approaches which could accelerate transition and stimulate qualitative changes.
