Introduction Following the information of society life and the globalization of economy activity, English becomes an important tool of the policy that open to the outside word and learning
8、 English is the basic requirements of the twenty-first citizen. To meet the needs of the form of development, the ministry of education has decided that set up English course in elementary school. The English education in grade school is more and more important and the education scope is wider and w
9、ider. However, there are also many problems exist in setting up course in rural elementary school; we are facing many difficulties and challenges. Such as without good English learning environment and there are not enough regard be aroused in English education in rural elementary school, which lead
10、to the students cant cultivate the good English learning habits and make them have a low jumping-off point. As a result, the countrys English level common lower than citys. This paper analyses the problems and strategies which existed in the countryside school, gives some suggestions and explores th
11、e suitable teaching methods and teaching modes, so that increase the whole countryside English level.2 The problems As we all know that the quality of rural area education is an important problem which associates with the future of the mostly part of farmers offspring. However，there are lacking of e
12、xcellent teachers, good equipments and good study environment , the rural English level is common lower than the cities. Especially, in the rural school, English as a new subject in grade school, it is strange with the students and the children attach no importance to it. Even more some teachers hav
13、e no sense of regard it as a main subject. Some students cant identify the twenty six letters integrated after graduation from grade. Furthermore, the eligible grade English teacher is serious lacking. Most of them are job transfer or move from high grade English teaching, so they cant give a suitab
14、le course to the children. Therefore, the quality of elementary school in rural area is not satisfied and it becomes the bottleneck of countryside education.2.1 The shortage of teaching resources For the reason of geography and economy, many teachers dont want to go to work in rural area. Whats more
15、, the teaching equipments are also poor. The teaching resource is serious wanted.2.1.1 The problems of teachersLanguage teaching is the communication between the teacher and the student, teacher is in a dominant position, so the teachers quality influence on the quality of teaching.At present, most
16、of the rural primary school is lacking of English teacher. Most of English teacher are unprofessional or part-time teacher, they didnt accept the professional English language training, and even more some of them learned English by themselves. The author do a research in the Lizi elementary school i
17、n Zigong Sichuan province, which shows that among 12 classes there are six English teachers in the elementary school, all of them are job-transfer teachers. They are teaching Chinese, math and high grade English. And another study shows “in six county 382 primary schools, only 1.52 English teachers
18、every school average. Among 498 English teachers, 151 of them are unprofessional, 347 are job-transfer teachers(Zhang Xiaoqing,2008:05)From the two cases we can find that the rural primary school is always shortage of quality teachers, most primary English teachers are job-transfer teachers who come
19、 from the station of political teaching, art teaching, etc. Large class teaching many class teaching The cross grade teaching is widespread, the English teacher has been busy with correcting the exercises, processing the accident, have no sufficient time and energy on textbook, which direct bearing
20、on teaching results. On one side, the teachers have many subjects or grades to teach, they have no enough energy to do some work on the English teaching, which lead to the teachers teaching and teaching methods are antiquated, the method of teaching English still traditional. Even more some of them
21、often occur in apparent errors in the class. On the other side, the teachers, who transfer from other subjects teaching, they cant understand the English totally, not to mention make the students understand them clearly. And the teachers, who come from the high grade, they command the English more,
22、but they cant acquaint themselves with the childrens Psychological character and cant command their interests. They use the ways that used in high grade to teach the children which make the children understand them difficultly and learning hard, whats more, make the children losing interests in Engl
23、ish learning or even boring the subject. Also there are some other problems: the transfer teachers cant understand English very well, and their pronunciations are lacking of standardization. Such a corps of teachers could not build up a contingent of high-caliber English talent. Besides, some teache
24、rs quality is also not high who treat the student bad or give the student corporal punishment, these interim measures against the students to grasp of English knowledge and improve the comprehensive standard.2.1.2 The problems of teaching equipmentsAt present, many schools in rural areas as financia
25、l difficulties for reasons such as English teaching equipment and construction is still unable to satisfy the actual needs. Demonstrate in the following aspects, the multimedia lab, language lab, recorders, teaching in VCD and teaching English teaching equipment and software resources are urgent nee
26、ded, particularly in remote school, for the economic reasons, the teaching equipments and facilities will be less, and even more a standard language lab are not.In addition, even if there are many schools to configure the number of English teaching equipments and facilities, but some teachers worry
27、about the waste of time, or teaching method is not flexible, or they cant operate multi-media device, and for economic reasons, in many school, English teaching equipments for a long time idle, the equipments utilization is very low, and caused a lot of resources wasted.The teaching aids and quantit
28、y cant meet the needs of students study. Fundamentally, teaching English is a practical lesson and without teaching aids to implement, comprehensive and improve the quality of instruction is a very difficult. At present, many schools lack of money, teaching aids and quantity. There are few schools h
29、ad a lab and audio-visual equipment. This situation led to the students who want all-round in English couldnt gratify Also restricts the use of English teaching resources.2.1.3 The problems of environmentAs for language learning, language environment is a very important factor for our students. From
30、 the perspective of education ecology, education environment is the center of education and constrains the regulation the occurrence, existence and the development of education .（Fu Daochun，1999:6）However, there are little chance for the students communicate in English, especially in rural areas, ev
31、en be no. The classroom is the only chance for them to communicate with English, but because of their professors, in many rural primary schools, the English teachers use Chinese in class. The rural primary school curriculum is not very reasonable and in a large part of the school there are only two
32、English classes for a week, only forty-five minutes every class. And many schools treat the elementary English as a minor, and the English lessons are often occupied by others in the countryside. In addition, many parents do not know English, not understand the importance of English, There is hardly
33、 pressure from parents and social and lead the learning goal is vague and the English learning is passive.Also, the peasants few use English to communicate, almost nothing. Therefore, the opportunities for students contact English, speak English, or practice English are rare, they lack of a language
34、 environment to study English. And when the children meet problems in learning English, no one can timely guidance. There are more and more difficulties, lead them lose interest in this course at last. 2.2 Psychological factors of the student in country school 2.2.1 TimidCompared with the city child
35、ren, the students in rural areas generally more timid because of geography and culture factor, and they lack of confidence and fear of criticizing wrong by the teacher, they are talk less. Respond in English, most students do not want to speak; the collective voice was loud when answer questions, bu
36、t individual voice little or no answer. This is just dumb English.2.2.2 Lacking of attention Because of geography and culture factor, the country students of English on the importance of knowledge are not enough, especially children. Many students of learning English are a junior middle school, the
37、English classroom as the rest time. Most students think that there is no need to learn English and English is not necessary to be taught. They do not realize that English has gradually into our lives.The New edition of course requests that present stage start elementary school English curriculum New
38、 Course Standard of English. The lowest grade to start English is grade three and to guarantee the teaching quality and effect, the higher education department prescribes that there are not less than four times a week. But in many schools the English course is seldom open complete. Even with complet
39、e course, no good to carry out teaching, which led to the students does not regard English as much as the language of mathematics.As far as the author know, the rural primary schools have English classes very little, and the grade is not unification. Some schools begin the course only in the third g
40、rade; other school, grades start in the school at four or five years; and some school start in the sixth form classes in session. Also, the arrangement is not reasonable, in some places for a week is an English lesson and takes it as minor and English to be almost nonexistent. Thus, the urban and ru
41、ral primary school English teaching standards will produce a considerable gap. Result in junior high school many difficult in study English,and bring teachers a lot of troubles.2.3 The problems of effects Our relatively remote rural areas in the underdeveloped areas, the English teaching is just the
42、 beginning, no ready-made patterns and the path to follow. Therefore, it is inevitable the teaching method is drop behind, the teaching quality is a problem. Many primary school English teachers are still following the traditional teaching English, use a translation, use Chinese for English teaching
43、. In teacher-centered mode, teachers in the stage, the students just listen in the seat，no words practice. The teacher only has a textbook, mouth, a piece of chalk; put a tape recorder for teaching English. Teaching activities is only plays and stories, dialogues and other forms. Long time, the stud
44、ents gradually lost interests in learning English, and difficult to cultivate good habits of study English. The most rural schools rely English teaching solely on the few classes a week in the classroom,which cant promote good English language learning environment. In the class, the teachers worry a
45、bout students cant understand them and for their English knowledge limits they can only use Chinese to teach, thereby reducing the students of English language in the input and reduce the opportunities and time for they contact with English. And the teaching method, the way to the quality English is
46、 not high, the students difficulte to consolidate and use English as the ability of communication, and students learn English without much interest. Besides,some teachers phonetics are not accurate which misleading the students pronunciation and knowledge.Whats more, the teaching method in the rural
47、 primary schools is the old English teaching method. In the classroom, many English teachers are the implementer of the mode:open your book, or listen to me, read after me, a copy of the traditional instruction. Examination-oriented education in rural primary school are still dominant. The teacher d
48、ealt with the textbook is not focus on promoting students language, communication skills, but focus on the language of input. They general ignored the “use” of English language. The teaching methods cant suitable the childrens mental characters and the teachers dont make use of story, play or song i
49、n the English classroom. At last ,no matter in rural or urban, education following the examination-oriented education at a large extent, the teacher cares about more the rate of excellence, Passing rate as explicit guidelines and ignores quality of training for students, and lead to the phenomenon high scores but low abilities widespread. The prominent exhi
