中国的大学英语教育(college english
teaching in china)
much has been discued recently on english teaching at college, someone says that it is a total failure.to some extent , it is reasonable to say so, for after ten-year english learning, most graduates can\'t properly communicate with foreigners, nor can we translate between languages, let alone write in english.where are the problem?
to begin with, englishteaching at college, to a great extent, teacher-centerde, turning a language cla into an information cla.it is still very common in the claroom that the teacher explains every language point in detail, while students take notes all the time.diyifanwen.com
secondly, culture is neglected in english teaching because of poor text design.some redundant unrealistic materials and a great deal or grammar and structure exercises in the text lead to students memorizing a large vocabulary and a lot of english rules.few students know how , when and where to use them.
finally, test-oriented education, in a sense, misleads and impedes college english teaching in china.for example, colegeenglish test band four or six is so overemphasized in some colleges that teachers teach to the test, sacrificing learning for the sake of test results, and students only learn to pa the examination.as a result ,students actual language
competence is weakened though the paing rate has increased.
in conclusion, chinese english teaching is to be reformed.students should be centered on , culture knowledge ,should be introduced in language teaching, and examination should be dealt with appropiately.
