1。 Introduction 

With the rapid development of education reform, more and more elementary school students in the classrooms get marginalized due to the improper educational behavior of the educators。 Generally, they have difficulty in learning and have different degrees of studying weariness。 In classrooms, they have their unique regions, behaviors and interactive characteristics。 And the “marginal persons” are resulted from the destruction of the natural structure of the family，the influence of bad education，the erosion of the social bad information，the increase in the entertainment places，the single school evaluation method，the unreasonable seating arrangement，and the teachers’ prejudice as well as the students’ personality defects．Therefore, marginalized students should be helped by teachers to return from the edge of classroom activities to normal activities。论文网

When I was in an internship at a certain primary school in Huai’an, a student came into my view by accident。 When the English teacher asked five questions, this student raised his hand consecutively。 However, the teacher didn’t allow him to answer。 I found that after he raised his hand five times, he didn't raise his hand any more。 Gradually, he became inactive and looked out the window listlessly。 As I understand it, teachers are unable to take care of all the students that they hope to do in the large class。 But why teachers still cannot look after all the students in the small one? At that time, my intuition told me that maybe they are marginalized by teachers and reduced to the marginalized students in class。

After half a year, I came to another primary school in Suzhou。 After my observation for nearly a week, I discovered that a part of students sat in the first row of the class。 However, teachers always overlooked them。 They seldom had the chance to answer even if they were willing to raise their hands。 Or they suffered discriminatory treatment even if they answered correctly。 It reminded me of the internship experience half a year ago。 It appeared that the existence of marginalization was not accidental。 There may be a mutual educational problem behind this phenomenon。 As a result, the marginalization phenomenon is very serious, to which more attention is needed to pay。 

2。 Literature Review

2。1 The definition of marginalized students 文献综述

The concept “marginalized populations” initially derived from a study of western sociology。 Its original meaning referred to those people who had difficulty in surviving because of the social developments and formidable natural conditions。 Their major characteristic was vulnerable viability。 (Park 40) Afterwards, Henry M。 Levin, a famous American educator and educational economist, pointed out that marginalized students were those who were poor in immigrant families or single-parent families or belonged to the national minority。 These students’ parents didn’t have a high-school diploma。 These students’ academic achievements in schools were difficult to meet the corresponding requirements of the educational administration。 (Williams 43)After that, this concept was gradually applied in the field of educational research to represent many similar student groups in the classroom activities from the 1980s and 1990s。（Wu 87-89）Students of this kind generally had difficulty with study and were weary of learning。 They may not have a say in the classroom activities。 They neither actively participated in to cooperate, nor resisted obviously。 They always discreetly maintained a distance away from the normal system and mechanism of their schools。 And slowly they became the Silence of the Lambs and the Lonely Catcher in the classroom activities。 They just didn’t want to be disturbed, and nervously spent endless and dull time in the boiling classroom。（Wu 84）Their study life was full of various loneliness and boredom。 They knew neither why they entered into the class nor what their future was like。 They lacked care, love and friendship from their classmates。 Unfavorable learning situations and psychological experience not only directly affected their learning process and learning results, but also possibly had serious negative impacts on their characters and their path in life in the future。 Therefore, there is a significant task every teacher should pay attention to and think deeply。  小学英语教学中边缘化学生的教育对策(2):http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_201541.html
