1.1 Research Background
Many companies take English as one of the standards to measure the quality of theemployee in China nowadays. As a result, English Education has got much attention.Besides, English education is one of the key components of elementary education.Indeed, since the reform and opening up, China’s English education has got theunprecedented attention, and the teaching effect is also prominent. But now the “highinvestment, low returns” English education status is still far from enough to meet theneeds of the society for talents of the English language. If we are to improve Englishteaching effect, we need not just to change the traditional teaching mode, and we also needto change the traditional teaching ideas.Under the pressure of the college entrance examination, traditional English teachinglays particular stress on knowledge and undertakes cramming method of teaching in theclassroom with the teacher as the center. The basic“ spoon-feeding” teaching mode is: 1)teachers speaking, students listening; 2) teachers writing, students copying; teacherstesting, students reciting. The traditional English teaching method just views English asknowledge and skills to teach and divides it into isolated language points. In such asituation, English teachers’ attentions are only paid to the interpretation of grammar, andthey just care about students’ academic achievements but neglect their comprehensivequality and all-round development, especially ignore the students’ development of affect and attitude. In this case, students are not willing to learn English. If students’ enthusiasmand initiative cannot be mobilized up, they will have affective weariness. Finally, Englishteaching will not achieve the expected results.
