Abstract With the popularity of the Internet and the development of globalization, English has become a required skill。 But under the traditional teaching methods, the problems of “Chinglish” and dumb English have been criticized and brought to attention widely。 Since brought into China by the end of the 1970s, the Communicative Approach has been applied quickly and widely in urban schools and made great achievements。 Nevertheless, with the limitation of teaching levels and educational equipment, teaching methods used in rural schools still remain traditional ones。 Rural students show little enthusiasm for learning English, and their ability in using English has evident gap with students’ from urban areas。94787

摘要随着互联网技术的普及和全球化进程的快速发展，英语已经成为必备技能，但在传统英语教学下，中式英语、哑巴英语等问题备受诟病, 也越来越引起人们重视。交际教学法自20世纪70年代末传入中国，迅速在城市得到了普遍运用并取得了显著的成效。但由于农村地区教学水平和教育技术的局限，英语教学还停留在传统教学模式，学生学习英语的积极性不高，和城市学生在英语技能的运用上存在明显的差距。

经过一个学期在涟水县高沟中学实践交际教学法，笔者通过对考试成绩及问卷调查的数据进行收集与分析，以实证的形式，着重研究以下三个问题：1）在农村中学学生已经习惯传统教学的情况下，能否顺利实施交际教学法，以及如何将交际教学法与传统教学法进行衔接；2）交际法在完成教学任务、培养学生英语兴趣等方面的适合性与实用性；3）交际教学法在农村中学实际应用中存在的问题。
