There is no way to create good English learning environment relying on short 40 minutes classroom lessons, so this requires parents to create learning opportunities as often as possible at home。 Parents can play some listening materials or speak some English to children at home。 What’s more, primary school students are young with poor self-control, so it also requires parents to urge them to develop good study habits at home, which is important for children’s next period English study。

Also, through the study, some certain amount of primary students and their parents in Xuzhou are surveyed in order to help schools and parents understand the actual situation of home-school cooperation。

In addition, the questions and suggestions proposed by the study will provide some reference for primary English teachers。

This essay may be helpful for English teachers who teach in primary school。 Also, I hope this essay can motivate parents to participate in home-school cooperation actively so that promotes the development of home-school cooperation in our country。来~自,优^尔-论;文*网www.youerw.com +QQ752018766-

Chapter Two Literature Review

2。1 Home-school cooperation

2。1。1 The definition of home-school cooperation

In many works about the science of education, home-school cooperation has distinctive definitions。 Also, some great scholars give their own definitions of home-school cooperation。

J。H。Lombana, an American scholar, point out that home-school cooperation is a kind of education activity for parents which affects their children directly or indirectly。 (Judy。H。Lombana, 1983)

Epstein, an American scholar at Hopkins University, says that the main body of home-school cooperation includes not only family and school, but also the community。 Therefore, home-school cooperation means the cooperation among community, family and school。 (Epstein, 1987)
