Data were gathered through qualitative meth?ods by semi-structured interviews and observation with 6 non-English majors from Tianjin Foreign Studies University. Stu?dents'CET-4 scores were collected as well. Out-of-class observation was conducted with two participants who represent re?spectively high and low scores in CET.
