With the expansion of the interaction between China and foreign countries, the talent mastering both professional knowledge and English has been increased dramatically in China. With the connection of China and speaking English countries in economy, China has the chance to communicate with foreigners. Therefore, we need more professional talent in English. So government and schools should take some measures to change the situation that English become the necessary course to improve the talents. In today’s world, with the rapid development, information technology is regarded as the main symbol in information and social life. With the globalization of economic activities, foreign languages, especially English, have become more and more important tools for our country to open up and interact with each other.
Students desire to get the high scores and admire the high score. And these parents also focus on only the scores. Therefore, the whole society care the scores too much. In China, some parents like to make some unrealistic comparisons among them. However, in current society, we need the high quality talent. To meet the need of economy and society, Chinese people have made greater progress in English. People also began to speak English more frequently. With the development of society, the teaching methods also need to be improved in order to meet the requirements of society. Diverse teaching methods are the requirements of the society and schools.
Diverse teaching methods are helping them to develop the right thing. According to the situation, we think we should change the standard of entrance middle school, teaching strategy, family education policy, society direction and so on.
II. The Present Teaching Methods
Teaching methods are ways that use in teaching and make the class efficient. Diverse teaching methods are used in middle school English classes in a lot of ways .They are grammar-translation approach, audio-lingual approach, total physical response, the direct method, the community language teaching, task-based language teaching, content-based instruction teaching and so on. This paper will mainly introduce three of them.
2.1 Audio-Lingual Approach
Audio-lingual method is formed in the United States in the late 1940s, which is a foreign language teaching method. During World War II, the United States army stationed in many countries. The soldiers needed to master a foreign language so the U.S. government entrusted dozens of colleges and universities to develop foreign language training programs for the soldiers, and professors at the university of Michigan Vries (c. Fries). And other people started training work under the leadership of military. Vries and his collaborators (R.L ado) worked in the foreign language teaching for a long time, and accepted the basic view of structural linguistics. On the basis of abundant practical experience, the method was founded by the army. And it was especially developed by foreign language training and teaching activities. After the war, the method was applied to the school of foreign language teaching. And in the fifties and sixties of the 20th century it was widespread in the United States and Western countries.源!自`优尔~文)论(文]网[www.youerw.com
On the basis of structural linguistics and behavioral psychology this theory came into being. Linguistic schools mentioned that structural linguistics are applied to foreign language teaching, particularly to language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. The process of this teaching can be summarized as five stages including cognition, imitation, repetition, transformation and choosing. By reflecting this method, it will cultivate students’ practical abilities of listening, speaking, reading and writing as its teaching aim. At the same time, structural linguistics in the U.S. saw the spoken language as primary and written language as secondary. The advocates of this method also think that the training of listening and speaking skills of English should take precedence over the use of reading and writing. This leading method, therefore, sometimes is called “hearing”.
