I. Introduction
Nowadays, globalization makes the world contact closer and closer, English as one of the most widely used languages in the world has become more and more prominent. As an international language, English plays an important role in spreading specialized knowledge and exchanging specialized research fruits. English teaching is also become an important part of basic education. The phenomenon of class silence has a very adverse impact on English teaching. On the one hand, teachers are unable to adjust the teaching schedule and teaching evaluation effectively, on the other hand, students lack a lot of practice and communication opportunities, and it is not good for their development of the English ability, too.
At present, the English teaching in China is mainly exam-oriented education aiming at examinations and English class only pays attention to the instruction and memorization of language points. Teachers instruct in the classrooms from beginning to the end and the atmosphere is dull and boring. English learners under this teaching model lack the communication competence. “Class silence” exists widely in the teaching in junior middle school, which is extremely harmful to English learning.
Many foreign scholars made deep studies of the class silence. S. Harumi set Japanese English teaching as example and analyzed the main reasons for students’ silence in the classroom. Under the influence of Japanese traditional cultural background, Japanese students thought that silence was the virtue. Japanese students were prudent in speaking during the process of learning English and silence became their main patter of thinking. Under the influence of these factors, Japanese English classrooms had “silence” phenomenon that teachers would not like to ask questions and students would not like to speak. Finally, he put forward corresponding countermeasures towards the above problems. 初中英语课堂沉默现象分析:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_34909.html
