1.1 Background of the Study
With the arrival of the 21st century and globalization, English is more and more widelyused. Especially in China, many changes have taken place in the whole country in recentdecades. To face those changes and challenges, China has sticking to its reform and openingpolicy. China can communicate with the world frequently. English has become the mostuseful language in every area of people’s life. In various foreign business activities, lots ofcommercial letters are written in English. Because of this, for the basic education, lots ofcountries take English as a most important part of citizen’s quality education, and put it in aprominent position. For China, English is the most useful language to improve the wholenation’s development. Chinese students should not ignore the study of English. English is atool for communication. So we should focus on the use of English. We should let the studentslearn how to use the language in a right way rather than many grammar points. In facing this,our nation should capture more attention to the foundational education in English, especiallyfor the children and young people.Because of the importance and the use of English, our government began to pay moreattention to the elementary and secondary education in English. The education departmentwould focus on the English basic education in our nation. The local government also responseto the government policy to improve the teaching levels of English class, especially in thepoor and backward areas. In China, English is a foreign language not the second language.We do not have enough environment to let the students speak the target language. Theclassroom became the major place to practice the students’ oral English. In the newcurriculum reform, we began to focus on the student-centered teaching rather thanteacher-centered teaching. In our teaching process, we pay greater attention to the interactionbetween teachers and students and the interaction between students and students. In our class,the teacher should strengthen the interaction among students.
