Abstract


English is an international language, which plays a more and more important role in international affairs. With China’s eighth curriculum reform in the field of basic education carried out throughout the whole country, English teaching in senior high schools has made great progress. However, if we probe into the teaching practice of senior high school English classrooms, we can still discover something dissatisfactory. Teachers still play a dominant role in most classroom teaching. Some teachers’ teaching philosophy and methods have not been updated. Teachers still focus on grammar, language knowledge and skills while ignore oral English. Students’English proficiency is low. So enhancing teaching effectiveness is becoming urgent.
