摘要
Although the textbook Junior English for China has been widely adopted for use in middle schools,most of our teachers have not changed their teaching methods.Traditional methods of teachingEnglish are still used in their teaching practice.The focus of teaching is on detailed analysis andexplanation of language points.A small percentage of time is devoted to activities in which thestudents practise speaking in English.Oral practice is limited to students reading aloud the sentencesthey have translated.The teachers seldom use English to conduct the class,preferring to use Chineseas the language of instruction.As a result,too many students are only good at reciting grammar rulesand analyzing sentences.They are poor in language communication,especially communicatingorally.
