10、 countrys development. Education plays an incomparable role in China which holds five thousand years history and culture. With the fast development of the society, especially at present, the fast development of the science and technology and the high requirement of talent try out our educations esse
11、nce. Since the reform and opening to the outside world, due to introducing the foreign investment and taking in different culture, the Chinese economical status in the world increases gradually, and the peoples knowledge is also improved. However, its not enough to know only our own cultures and kee
12、p the traditional customs under the globalization trend. As a matter of fact, we are eager to know the world. To keep pace with the world development, China makes great changes in education. The most important is to emphasize the English course in the junior middle school, which aims to bring up mor
13、e excellent English talents and accelerate the Chinese development. However, with the social development, the aim of English teaching has a dramatic change. To popularize the English is to bring up more English talents. But, due to the great changes and development, it foments the utilitarianism of
14、the schools. Especially in recent ten years, the aim has been only caring about the scores. Its worth while to think over this result. General speaking, the teaching condition is improved; the result should be more effective. But the fact is just reverse. The teaching effect becomes worse. The reaso
15、ns are in many aspects. The main reasons exist in our educational system and the teachers themselves, but the students also should take on some responsibilities. The Problems in the Present English TeachingThe Chinese traditional teaching pattern is the cramming method, which pays no attention to st
16、udents creation. The students just learn the language mechanically. They only remember the key points of language and cannot use them flexibly in the actual situation. However, English is a kind of language. The aim to learn English is not only to remember its grammar, but to use English as a tool t
17、o communicate with others. But, most of the Chinese English teachers still adopt the traditional teaching pattern to teach English. This is unscientific and strongly affects the training of talents.A The Problems Related to the Educational System The basic pattern of traditional English teaching is
18、so-called PPP patterns (Wang Qiang, 2006), that is, presentation, practice and production. The character of this pattern is succinctness and easy for operation. To be sure, the traditional teaching pattern is not all defective and still has its own advantage. The PPP patterns pay attention to impart
19、ing the basic knowledge, especially grasping the basic knowledge, so the students still reserve certain knowledge. It just doesnt display correctly and effectively. The examination also has its advantage as the way to check the students knowledge. By exams, the teachers can know the present ability
20、of the students and then adjust their teaching method. But, this pattern has fatal weakness in a languages learning. 1. The Teacher-Centered Teaching Mode In the traditional English classroom, the teachers have the absolute authority. The teachers are the organizer and main operator in the teaching
21、process. The teachers decide what contents and how much they teach, and how to teach. The students can hardly have a hand in these processes. In the classroom, they just can hear the teachers voice. The students just are passive listeners and follow the teachers instruction to study step by step. (Y
22、ang SiGeng, 2003) This teaching pattern leads to the reverse of the subject and object. If the teachers talk too much and have a fast speed in their classroom, the chance they can give the students to grasp the knowledge and use it in actual situation is fewer. The students have no time to think and
23、 absorb the knowledge that has been imparted in time. Thus, the knowledge that the students cannot understand accumulates gradually and affects the future learning. Besides, in the class, most of the teachers are busy with talking and the students are also engaged in remembering the key points. Ther
24、e are no communications between them, so the classroom is very depressing. In this atmosphere, the students have no interest in learning. Its natural that the students cannot master knowledge. 2. The Test-Oriented Education A popular pet phrase that the students often talk is “the examination is the
25、 teachers talisman, but the score is the students lifeblood.” To most people, they have the deep experience for this. To meet the entrance exams, most schools hold the model test every month. At the beginning, the students prepare for the test carefully. With time going on, the students are insensib
26、le for the test. Maybe every student has the experience for this test mode. We observe that the students proficiency in English is decided upon their scores in exams, but not on their use of the language in actual situation. Thus, the classroom teaching is that the teachers talk about some related k
27、ey points about language structure and the students are just asked to practice these language rules for rote learning. On the other hand, many middle schools give the teachers too much pressure to raise the schools proportion of students entrance to the senior high school. Under this pressure, the k
28、nowledge that the teachers give the students has no applicability. Its just for the entrance exam. At the same time, the teachers neglect the practicable skills, such as listening, speaking, reading and writing. B The Problems Related to the Teacher We know the teacher is the leader in the classroom
29、 teaching. One satisfactory teacher must own enough knowledge of his specialty and have good abilities in teaching, and also need good psychological characters. But, most teachers have many defects.1. The Problem Existing in the Teaching Method and Process Many teachers still use Chinese in English
30、classes. As a result, they change the English class into Chinese class. Its an effective teaching way to use Chinese appropriately for subsidiary teaching in the junior high school. Using Chinese to teach all the time not only affects the students improvement of listening but also form the fixed thi
31、nking mode easily. When the students read the texts or sentences, their first responses are to translate it into Chinese. This is a wrong way to study and bad for the students learning. And another poor result is that the students are lack of the chances to communicate in English. If the teachers us
32、e English for teaching in their class, the students will take to a custom to answer questions in English, and will improve their oral English and listening imperceptibly. 2. The Unfair Attitude of the Teacher Different students have different personalities, so in one class, the students abilities ar
33、e different. Some students may have a higher competence, but the others may have a lower ability. Many teachers have prejudice in favor of the good students and against poor students. They love good students and coach them even after class; but they ignore the poor students. The teachers with this a
34、ttitude cannot teach student very well. This crimination leads to the bad influence among the bad students. In the class, the poor students also affect the other students learning and make the teachers teaching not get to expectant result. (Grant, L., 1985) C The Problems Related to the StudentsThe
35、students growth has many features, such as order、gradualness、imbalance and difference(Fu DaoChun, 1999) in person. Due to the students lack of social experience and great change of society, they have many troubles and conflicts in their mentality. For example, the conflict is between independence an
36、d dependence; the bewilderment in search of knowledge. These problems can affect the students learning and development. Teachers must take proper method to teach students, and help them come out of these troubles.The Methods to Improve the English TeachingThe 21st century is a time that is full of k
37、nowledge. This knowledge not only refers to the single knowledge but also hold the comprehensive skills and ability. In English, it refers to holding all the four skills, which is listening, speaking, writing and reading. This request is coincident with the original aim opening the English course in
38、 our country. The aim of English teaching in middle school not only make the students grasp the language itself, but also train students ability of observation、thinking、communication and cooperation and develop the students ability to express their feeling and know the society by learning language.
39、If the teaching just focuses on the words and sentences, the students cannot improve the ability of using language. The English in middle school should lay stress on the students ability to learn by themselves. This is advantageous for improving the comprehensive competence in the future. The Englis
40、h teaching in the junior middle school needs to be improved in many facets. A Intensifying Basic Knowledge Learning and Developing Abilities In the past, the teachers ignored the development of comprehensive ability. But, at present, some teachers go to the other extreme, that is, they neglect the b
41、asic knowledge ; including the new words、expressions、phrases、key points and basic sentence structures. They overemphasize ability training and neglect the instruction of the elementary knowledge; it causes their teaching to separate from the students objective English learning. Its result is wasting
42、 efforts, flashy but lacking substance. (Davies, Paul& Pearse, Eric, 2002) As we know, if we want to learn English well, the learning of new words is very important. Supposing we cannot read, write or use the new words, its impossible for us to learn the text or dialogue, much less the reading and c
43、omprehensive ability. Gradually, English words will become the obstacle for the students English learning. We advocate developing students ability to use language in actual situation, but the formation of the ability is based on enough knowledge. Without a lot of knowledge, it is theoretic to improv
44、e the ability. It is the same as building a mansion. It cannot be built without firm foundation. According to the English professor Mr. Zhang Daozhens assessment, if people want to understand the articles, novels, ordinary periodicals or magazines (non-special) in English, they must master at least
45、5000 to 6000 words in common use. But, according to the new criterion of the junior middle school course, the students must master about 3300 words during their junior and senior high schools. This states that the English learning in the junior and senior high schools is the most basic and important. So, its important to continue to strengthen the basic knowledge teaching, especially the teaching of new words, phrases and sentence structures.But, excessively paying attention to the k
