3。2 Memorizing mechanically 

     The typical teaching mode in ancient society is that students passively accept knowledge from the teacher mechanically。 Then comes the direct teaching method proposed by Comenius, the five-step teaching method, Dewey's pragmatism education mode, etc。 However, influenced by the typical traditional teaching mode, many teachers in China ask students to memorize the words mechanically, mainly because the knowledge in the learning material is centered on basic vocabulary and grammar。 In this case, the composition is in a monotonous form, students have no interest in learning, thus they memorize the learning content mechanically。 

     So-called mechanical memory, mainly relies on repeating again and again to achieve the purpose of memory。 In the actual teaching, teachers often adopt this method when it is not easy to find out the rules and contact between words。 However, accustomed to mechanical memory, students also mechanically memorize the contents which can be dealt with great flexibility。 

     Mechanical memory method can only develop the students’ reading and writing ability, but students can hardly speak out in an appropriate language environment。 It betrays the aim of learning English language。 English teachers must break the single teaching mode and establish student-oriented humanism in English teaching。 Teachers should correctly choose various teaching methods suited for the students’ characteristics, inspire and care for students' learning enthusiasm in a created language environment。 Only in this way can teachers make English teaching develop soundly。

3。3 Lacking of language environment

     There is a mistake in English teaching in China for a long time。 That is because of the lack of corresponding English language environment, qualified teachers as well as the necessary technical means。 English teaching can not combine the language competence with pragmatic competence and cultural background。 An appropriate environment is an indispensable factor for students in language learning, especially in foreign language learning。 It helps students to learn and use English effectively。论文网

     Most English learners will be inevitably affected by the restriction and influence of language environment, but most of today's English class is controlled by the teacher with the traditional teaching mode, students learn step-by-step and practise mechanically。 The process of learning English is much restricted to the accumulation of words and grammar knowledge。 In other words, English learning is restricted to the category of grammar and semantics。 Whether the writing of the teaching material or the setting of the type of examination questions inflects the emphasis, requirements and inspection on these two aspects, while educators ignore the research and learning on pragmatics。 Such cultivated students only master "pure language competence" but lack "actual communicative competence"。 Although some students want to practise oral English, they can not find a suitable partner or occasion to practise。 The lack of language environment and limited-time practises is not conducive to improving the students' oral English competence。 In addition, most high schools lack the guidance of the foreign teachers for many reasons, the lack of language environment leads to the lack of English communication habits。 As a result, though college students have mastered thousands of English words after more than ten years English learning, they can pass the CET 4 and 6, even get good marks in this kind of tests。 However, most students have poor communication ability, especially oral communication ability。 Error expression, misuse and misapplication of sentences lead to communication failure。 This is the root of the phenomenon “high scores but poor competence” and “time consuming with low efficiency”。
