Now each junior middle school English teachers has at least two classes, even worse, some English teachers also teach other subjects, which leads to the English teachers’ heavy course task. English teacher has little time to think about other things, which will impact on the students’ extracurricular activities.

Teachers do not have new teaching methods and flexible teaching organization, they fail to mobilize students to actively participate in classroom activities, teachers always ignore students’ unintentional learning and pay attention to explaining new words and grammatical rules.
