English is being more and more popular to Chinese people and has bee an indispensable part of Chinese teaching in schools. Nowadays since in elementary schools, systematic English teaching has began. In middle and high schools, English has also bee a main course in students’ study. And when in the university, English is also taught and will bee much more special. At the same time, English will be divided into various orientations as a major. Therefore, in nowadays, English learning has bee an important part in students’ study life. And what’s more, with the world being smaller and smaller, English shows its great importance on municating with people of different countries. Especially when our country has entered into WTO, English has bee much more popular, practical and useful. Many fields need English speaking people. Step by step, people pay much more attention to English learning. And then English teaching has taken up a very important position in China naturally. Situations in English teaching and learning in Chinese schools English teaching is developing so fast. The unceasing reforms have made the situation of Chinese English teaching better and better. With the development of English teaching, students’ English learning also makes great progress. Different periods (. Elementary schools, high schools, and universities) have different ways in teaching, which make students familiar with English and have a good mastery of the subject. In the present situation of English teaching and learning in Chinese schools, virtues exist, but from a very objective stand, there are still many questions. Better solutions to these problems need to be found. Reasons and the aim of writing the thesis I am an English major student and very familiar with the system of English teaching and learning in China. And what I have learnt es from this process and I am deeply influenced by this. I can have a general knowledge of which sides are fabulous and which ones are not. Viewed from my own stand, English teaching can see some virtues and shortages. So when thinking about writing a thesis, I want to write something about this, which is familiar to me, and is also very worthy to explore into it. The aim of writing the thesis is to discuss and analyze the questions appeared in the present English teaching and learning in Chinese schools. And then I will propose a solution of my own points of views. II Current English teaching and learning situation in Chinese schools With the arrival of information age, international munication bees more 2 and more frequent day by day, which has caused English to obtain the most important international language position. As a result of the historical reason and inter’s widespread use, English has already bee the prime task language that each kind of international situation uses。 simple education and examinationoriented education in the past are gradually transformed to the prehensive education and lifelong education.
