Abstract | A survey of master's level English language teacher trainees in a Chinese university examined prevailing attitudes toward a methodology course and compared them to previous findings. Students were asked to rate course quality and the quantity of various course materials and tasks. The results showed an overall positive reaction to the course, with the exception that students were disappointed with what they perceived to be a lack of teacher availability. It is concluded that (1) negative perceptions of teacher availability were primarily due to student attitudes about the use of teacher office hours, and (2) negative student attitudes at the outset of the course improved during the course, suggesting that it is possible to give a successful methods course in China.
