IntroductionLanguage is a tool of human munication. The ultimate goal of English teaching is to develop students’ municative petence. Obviously, training students to municate in English should be the main task of English teachers. Widdoson (1978), a representative of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), points out that the concentration of foreign language teaching must be transferred from teaching language system into teaching students how to use language to municate.Within the last quarter of the 20th century, CLT had been put forth around the world as the new or innovative way to teach English as second or foreign language. CLT was introduced in China in the early 1980s. It has been greatly concerned by our foreign language experts since then. There have been a series of discussions and researches on the possibility of the adaptation of CLT in the general situation of foreign language education in China. According to those discussions and researches, some methods for designing and carrying out municative language teaching are generated. CLT has been considered as an innovative approach in foreign language teaching.However, the result of concrete application of CLT has not been very satisfactory. This thesis attempts to explore the problems that hinder the effective application of CLT in English teaching in middle school in China and aims at making some suggestions on how to solve the problems and on how to apply CLT effectively.2. The problems in applying CLT in Chinese middle school and misinterpretations of CLTIt is inevitable to encounter some obstacles in the application of a teaching approach. China has its own characteristics which are different from other countries. In order to apply CLT effectively, we should be aware of the problems in applying CLT. According to the current situation of English teaching in Chinese middle school, problems are listed as follows: Limitation of students’ oral English Middle school students have learned a limited vocabulary and grammatical knowledge, which makes it difficult for them to express themselves. This is a big obstacle for municative classroom construction. Some of the students may be selfconfident and active in class while more others may withdraw. Students whose oral English is better would behave more actively。語言是交流的工具，交際法的最終目的是提高學(xué)習者的交際能力，這也體現(xiàn)了現(xiàn)代社會對語言發(fā)展的要求。作者簡單闡述了交際法的發(fā)展淵源，交際法的特征及原則。這些不利因素包括老師、學(xué)生、班級組織和我國升學(xué)制度等各個方面。交際法在應(yīng)用于我國中學(xué)英語教學(xué)過程中受到不少阻力，這主要是因為對交際法認識的偏頗和交際法應(yīng)用于中學(xué)英語課堂教學(xué)中的一些不利因素造成的。三十多年以來，交際法已經(jīng)發(fā)展成為規(guī)模的外語教學(xué)理論和教學(xué)方法，成為當今世界各國外語教學(xué)界普遍承認和接受的基本原則。 .

AbstractCommunicative Language Teaching (CLT) was founded by British linguist, . Wilkins in 1970s. In near thirty years, it has developed to be a leading approach and theory in foreign language teaching all over the world. It has been more than twenty years since the introduction of CLT in China. Communicative Language Teaching has bee the main trend in foreign language teaching. However, there are still some obstacles in the application of CLT. It is mainly due to the incorrect prehension towards CLT and some negative factors in classroom teaching, as well as national examination system. In consideration of the misinterpretations and negative factors, this thesis tries to analyze the elements that hinder the effective application of CLT. The elements include the teacher, students, classroom organization, national education system, etc. There are two extreme treatments towards CLT. One is that CLT does not need grammar。 the other is that CLT stresses oral English only. To gain a better understanding of CLT, the thesis discusses it ranging from its development, characteristics, to its principles. Then the writer gives some suggestions according to the current situation of English teaching in our country. Language is a tool of human munication. The final goal of CLT is to improve learners’ municative petence which reflects the requirement of modern language development, and the obstacles that hinder the effective application of CLT in English teaching in Chinese middle school can be conquered.Key Words: CLT (Communicative Language Teaching) application municative petence 摘 要交際法是在20世紀
