According to what has been described, we get the information that攀枝花學(xué)院本科畢業(yè)論文 Ⅱ .Features of Communicative Approach 3 one learns English to use it, namely only if one learns English well firstly, and can he have the ability to municate with others. However, such description separates the English learning from approach. In China, most junior English teachers adapt weak version of municative approach. During the language teaching procedure, most of the teachers remain apply the old teaching method into practice, and they only stress on language structure. The author of the dissertation believes that one should use English to learn it, which should be supported in middle school English teaching. (Stern. 4350) Ⅱ .Features of Communicative Approach In order to understand municative approach better, we should carefully study its features. Here we analyze eight features in detail. Firstly, focus on meaning. In the municative approach, the meaning seems much more important. When you are municating with the students, you not only have to emphasize the fluency, but also have to emphasize its meaning. Secondly, one should learn to municate. It means that one learns English to use it. Most people think that one should use English to learn it, which is a wrong idea. In the English class of middle school, the purpose of learning English is to help the students municate in English. Thirdly, any device which helps the learners is accepted, but it should be varied according to the age interests. In the English class of middle school, the atmosphere is significant. Therefore, some devices such as photos, media player, and puter software should be provided to induce the students’ interests. Fourthly, prehensive pronunciation is sought. When we adapt municative approach, the fluency is emphasized. Meanwhile, its pronunciation should also be sought. Fifthly, translations may be used where students need or benefit from them.攀枝花學(xué)院本科畢業(yè)論文 Ⅲ .Existing Problems in the Teacher’s Beliefs and 4 According to the feature of the middle school students, the teacher should translate some difficult sentences for them, then they can recite them to use naturally. Sixthly, reading and writing can start from the first day, if desired. Reading and writing are two important factors in the English class. In the municative approach, reading and writing are also conducive to municating. Seventhly, fluency and acceptable language is the primary goal, and accuracy is judged by the context. It is known that fluency is the goal of municative approach. When we use English we should not just focus on how to choose a correct word, actually, we should speak with fluency. Then, the accuracy is also required according to the context. Eighthly, students are expected to interact with other people through pair work and group work, or in their writings. In order to improve the students’ municative ability, the teacher should create an atmosphere suit to municate. There are various ways, for example, through pair working, group dialogue or writing.(Wang Liuxian,50) Ⅲ .Existing Problems in the Teachers’Beliefs and Practice of Communicative Approach Though there are some advantages of municative approach, there are still some problems needed to be noted. A. Problems in the Teachers’ Beliefs First, we’ll discuss the problems existing in the teachers’ beliefs in the following paragraphs. 1. Taking Communicative Approach as a Method Communicative approach is an approach or an idea rather than a 攀枝花學(xué)院本科畢業(yè)論文 Ⅲ .Existing Problems in the Teacher’s Beliefs and 5 municative method. However, many English teachers of middle school regard it as a teaching method. As a result, they wrongly believe that municative approach is to demand the students do some exercise or have dialogues by themselves once and again. As a matter of fact, municative approaches not only state the aim of learning and teaching in detail, but also illustrate the definition of acquiring municative ability. As different teachers have different ways in teaching, municative approach does not provide any regulations to restrict teachers’ mind, but encourage them to teach English by using teaching approach 2. Stressing Language Structures Many English teachers in middle school think that municative approach only stresses the use of language. They neglect the choosing of vocabulary and grammar teaching. In this case, the students feel that they haven’t achieved anything. So grammar is important in all kind of language. If the grammatical teaching is neglected, the language will be illogic when municating with others. In such a case, many people believe that some grammatical point should be firstly introduced, and then applied in the course of munication. Nevertheless, this kind of teaching is defined as structural teaching of language。 strong desire to learn new things。 not interested in repeated even mechanical teaching. If the teacher force the students to recite phoics, or grammar, their advantages are just neglected. Many students lag behind others because they can not recite what the teacher asked for. Even more badly, they are tired of learning English and give it up at last. Therefore, middle school English teachers should focus on students’ psychology, to help them to set up their love for English. So they should change their teaching method through listening speaking, singing, playing, performing, reading and writing. These ways are conducive to fluent English municating. 4. Fluency or Accuracy Some people mistakenly believe t
