Since China adopted the policy of reform and open,international communication has been increasing constantly.English,as the most common language throughout the world,the importance of English has been recognized gradually.Now English class is one of the most important class in schools and students ranging from the pupil是 to the graduates are learning English.A mass of English tests are existing to measure the level of English of students.

When I was in nior high school,my English teacher said that many students in China did not like English at all,but she still asked us to spare no efford to learn English well so that we could pass the college entrance exam smoothly.It is the truth that English is an important subject in nior high school entrance exam,college entrance exam and even the
post graduate entrance exam,but this ntence also reflects a fact that many teachers,especially the teachers in junior high schools and nior high schools,under the pressure of enrollment rate , just regard English as a subject and try their best to help student gain high scords in exams,not to cultivate the interest of English for the student and neglect English as language itlf,let alone introduce the western culture in the class.For example,some teachers may tell students that they must choo “13” if the question touch on which the unlucky number is in western people.While the teachers never explain why 13 is not lucy in the view of western people.Even in the colleges,a lot of English teachers emphsize the passing rate of CET4 or CET6 becau the grade of CET 4 or CET 6 is a stepping- stone to success when college students look for jobs.In fact, the requirements do not accord with the initial purpo of teaching English.The initial purpo is that English should be taught as a mean to communicate with the world and to know multiculture of different countries over the world.By learning English,students should open the eyes to e the diversity of the world.It is the wrong purpo that teachers teach students English to help them pass all kinds of Enlish tests in China.中国第二大河

Becau the purpo of teaching English is wrong, the method to teach English is not advisable accordingly.Listening,speaking,reading and writing are the most basic skills in English,but teachers attach the great importance to the reading and the listening but give students few opportunities to practice speaking and writting.In the class,some teachers adopt “Duck-stuffing type of teaching” yet students have no chance to practice the ntences which they have learnt or to communicate with teachers in English.What they have to do is just to take notes so that they can master the grammer well and then get a good marks in tests. Becau of the limitation of the teaching progress，teachers can not spare time to students to let them speak English freely in class. Although we know that English is a language ud to express one’s idea and get some information from others,teachers just consider it as a subject in class.What is more,the materials that students listen or read is not authentic.The materials have been adapted by chine scholars,applied to the English tests for chine students.In nior high school, perhaps few teachers ask students to read books Writen by Conan Doyle or J.K Rowling,but they must require students to do different kinds of reading comprehension.Most teachers may
suggest students to buy listening training books so that students can get better scores in tests in spite of allowing students to watch English or American TV show becau teachers think tho will waste a lot of valuable time.Today in English teaching,we can not deny the fact that many teacher teach English for tests, but not for the language.Meanwhile,the wrong purpo lead to the fal teaching methods.I think the fundamental problems in English teaching in China are the.
So how to solve the problems?I think the first thing is to reform the system of test.I support the policy that English is no longer as the subject tested in college entrance exam but the reference when students are enrolled by universities.This reform can alleviate the burdens on students so they can study English due to the interest not the tests.Then I think, the specia English class can be offered in junior high schools and nior high schools in order to give students more chances to communicate with teachers and classmates in English,which will help improve their the level of speaking.In this special English class,teachers can also guide students to read famous English books and let them to talk about their opinions after reading the authentic books.Teachers can 白头发怎么变黑
also introduce a lot of western culture through the authentic books.In a word,only when English is not regarded as a subject,could the problems of English teaching be solved.
