As an important part of education, English teaching has been emphasized more than ever before alone with people in growing number who begin to learn English. In order to improve the quality of education, numerous people, including experienced experts and teachers endeavored to study new and effective strategies in the teaching. The link between language teaching and learning is obvious. Unlike other courses, English has its special traits which need special strategy because our mother tongue is not English and studying English is in Chinese atmosphere. Moreover, the so-called “dummy English learners” cannot meet the requirements of rapid development of modern society. To make matters worse, the increasing number of students in college English classroom set a big obstacle for English teaching. Educational goals for English teaching should focus on student’s abilities to learn independently and create appropriate learning environments in which our teachers cannot use the same method to teach English. |
