Gender discrimination on marriageWith the development from matriarchal to patriarchal society, male and female roles change in the redistribution. Subsequently women lose their dominance. In malecentered English social customs, married men can work outside and earn money. But if women turn into wife, their world is narrowed to family. They can only stay in the narrow space in ministering husband and taking care of children. They are the ornament to husband. Men in the home is considered to be strong, dominating the business and supporting wife and children, whereas women is dependent. Before marriage, men are called as “Mr.” and after marriage is the same. But after marriage women will lose their names and be changed to “Mrs. XX”. For example, if Mary Brown gets married with Jim Smith, the name of Mary will change to Mrs. Smith. So Mary not only loses her surname, but also her giving name. Even if John dies, she is still his widow, called “John’s widow”. In ancient China, because of women’s subordinate status, they use lowly appellation call themselves, such as “nu（奴）”, “nujia（奴家）”, “qie（妾）”, “jianqie（賤妾）” etc, but they must use honorable salutation to call their husband. In the past, China’s married women are called as “XXshi（XX氏）” and surname will change into husband’s family name. At present, this kind of salutation is still popular in rural place. Now Chinese women have no need to be renamed as husband’s surname. Men in the formal occasion call his wife for “airen（愛人）”, “furen（夫人）” and so on. But in some informal situation, “haizitama（孩子他媽）” and “wulitou（屋里頭）” are still very popular. Chapter IV Gender discrimination in vocabularyVocabulary is like fossil, which embodies people’s thinking and understanding at that society and reflects the whole society. The umbrella name phenomenon in vocabularyThe most obvious example which reflects the sexism is the word “man”. It means not only mankind but also man. But “woman” only means woman. For example, growing old is something a man as to accept. In addition, in English there are a lot of words, whatever people is male or female and they are all called “XXman”. For example, chairman, salesman, postman, policeman and so on. English has many neutral words expressing the profession and they are adapt to men and women, such as doctor, lawyer, professor etc. The application of methodology is always closely connected with times. In times of economic globalization, people with different languages in different countries municate with each other more and more frequently. And what emerges at the times require is the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT).The Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is, on the one hand, the product of the development of sociolinguistics, etc.。 Rodgers, 2001: 139). And Ellis sees CLT as an approach that aims to develop procedures for the teaching of the four language skills that acknowledge the independence of language and munication (1985: 155). Howatt distinguishes between “strong” and “weak” version of CLT, he states: There is, in a sense, a “strong” version of the municative approach and a “weak” version. The weak version stresses the importance of providing learners with opportunities to use their English for municative purposes. The “strong” version of municative teaching, on the other hand, advances the claim that language is acquired through munication. If the former could be described as “l(fā)earning to use” English, the later entails “using English to learn it”. (1984: 277)From this statement, it can be seen that CLT is a general term to describe the methodology which teaches language learners how to municate efficiently and which, on the whole, pays systematic attention to language functions as well as language structures. Characteristics of CLTAs for as the characteristics of CLT concerned, there are many different expressions. According to Larsen and Freeman, they think that there are three the most obvious characteristics of CLT. They think that almost everything that is done with a municative intent, that is, students use the language a great deal through municative activities like games, roleplays and problemsolving tasks and using authentic materials and its learnercentered and experiencedbased view of second language teaching are required Larsen and Freeman (Larsen amp。 Activities in which students have the opportunities to determine what they want to say independently of the teacher.c. Exposing students to examples of natural language rather than material which ha
