But we believe that given encouragement , some guidance and an appropriate context , Chinese students can be both verbally and cognitively active , and also independent and creative in their participation and learning. This development also depends on how teachers involve them and model for them active , independent and creative learning. This paper uses a case study of the teaching and learning of a course at a university in Hong Kong to show how stu dents were guided towards autonomous learning and active participation . The study findings indicate that Chinese students are able to learn actively and creatively when the teaching is adapted to transform their learning to the performance expected and demonstrates how they may achieve this performance . With the increasing recognition of the need for active , creative and independent learning in the Chinese education curriculum , this study shows how essential it is for teachers to teach actively and creatively. Thus developing independent learners is a chal lenge for teachers themselves.
