A.TheproblemsofcollegeEnglishteaching

Inrecentyears,EnglishteachinginChinahasimprovedcontinuously,andtheteachingqualityhasenhancedunceasingly,butitisnotsatisfactoryinEnglishteachinginourcountryatpresentandtherestillexistthefollowingquestions:

First,thequalityofEnglishteachersneedstobeimproved.Atpresent,Englishteachers'qualityandteachinglevelarenotoptimisticinourcountry.Especiallyinrecentyears,underthesituationofuniversityenrollmentexpansion,theconstructionofteachingqualityhasbeenabottle-necktofurtherdevelopmentofEnglishteaching.Teachers’qualityisnotveryhigh,whichismainlycausedbythefollowingfactors:

duetoheavyteachingtasks,theyhavenotimetoimprovetheirprofessionallevel;teachers'treatmentisnotwell,andtheycan'tconcentratetheirattentiononteaching;thelackofteachingequipmentandteachingmaterialisalsoanimportantreason.

Second,thelackoftheoryandexperiencesummaryisaproblem.Wehaveahistoryofmorethan100yearsofformalEnglisheducationinChina,andrichexperienceinEnglishteachingtheoryandteachingpracticehasbeenaccumulated,butthesetheoriesandexperiencehavefailedtosummarizeintime,improve,spreadandrisetoanewtheoreticalheight.

Third,thelackofcarefulstudyofEnglishteachingandlowapplicationinclassroominstructionarealsoproblems.ManyteachersignoredtocombinetherealityandthelawofEnglishteachinginChina.TheyseldommakeresearchonEnglishteaching,andthequalityofstudyonEnglishteachingisnotveryhigh.Eventhoughwemadesomeachievements,weseldomusethenewachievementsinteachingpractice.Ifwewanttomakegreaterprogress,weneedtomakemorevaluablestudiesandthencarrythemoutinteachingactivities.

Finally,weareblindlyfollowingforeigntrendinEnglishteachingmethods.LookingatthehistoryofEnglishteachinginChina,wefindthatourChinesehavemorethanonceblindlyfollowedthetrend,makingEnglishteachinginapassiveandembarrassingsituation.Inordertogetridofthepassivesituation,andnottomakeChineseEnglishteachingbecomewestern'sexperimentalfieldofteachingtheories,thekeyistoadheringtotheprincipleofpracticebeingmoreimportantthantheoryandthebasicprincipleofthestatebeingaboveallelse.Weneedtodoeverythingfromtheactualsituation,exploretheteachinglaw,andbuilddifferentteachingmodels.WeagreewiththeEnglishsyllabuswhichproposesthediversityofteachingmethods.Accordingtothedifferentteachingobjectives,teachingcontents,teachingpurposesandrequirements,weshouldchooseappropriateteachingmethods,andencourageteacherstoactivelyexplorenewteachingmethods,boldlyexploreandsetupadiversifiedmulti-levelteachingmodelbasedonChinesehistoryandreality,whichissuitableforthedevelopmentofChineseteachingandstudents'reality,andmeetsthedemandofthegreatrejuvenationoftheChinesenation.
