In order to change the current situation of classroom English teaching of secondary vocational schools and improve the English teaching quality,the author puts forward the following suggestions:
1. Implications for Primary Schools
School is a platform for teachers’development. In other words, it is another family to the teachers. Whether the teachers can have a happy time in their work or not, it is decided by schools’ management to some extend. From this perspective, schools should take great care for the teachers’ work and life.
Firstly, school leaders at all levels should overcome difficulties, they should constantly improve the English teachers’ professional development, andstrengthen English teachers’ learning and training on the new curriculum standards of primary English at the same time. For transferred English teachers from other branches of subject, schools can train them in following forms as send out training, on-the-position training, and self training, so as to improve their pedagogical knowledge and teaching abilities; on the other hand, based on the teachers’ low diplomas, the schools can arrange them through on-the-job further study for a higher degree, thusimproving their professional levels.
Secondly,schools should ensure there would be enough investing in purchasing basic curriculum resources for classroom English teachings. Ifpossible, schools should alsosubscribenewspapers and magazines, audio and video information for English teachers.
Thirdly, in order to change the current passive situation, and improve the classroom English teaching of secondary vocational schools, schools should also make effort to develop primaryschools’ Englishteachers’ professional development. Here are some approaches: (1)School should try its best to support and help teachers’ work, and create better conditions and opportunities as much as possible for teachers’ professional development. (2) Schools should organize teachers to join in a variety of training activities and teaching activities. As for the school leaders, it is important to praise those secondary vocational schools’ English teachers who can do excellently in their teaching. Under such harmonious and humanized circumstance, there is no reason for teacher not work hard.
In a word, with regards to the classroom English teaching of secondary vocational schools, schools should support and encourage English teachers. Only in this way can the English teaching be promoted and improved effectively.
2. Implications for the English Teachers
For English teachers, they should arrange the teaching time reasonably and teach effectively basing on the memory rules of pupils and it is good to use all kinds of teaching methods and teaching methods to encourage students to participate in the classroom. At the same time, teachers should pay more attention to students and cultivatetheir English language ability
Secondly, English teachers should use different methods to motivate the students’ desire to learn English, because student are lack of the recognition of the importance of learning English. Their English learning interests are not high, and learning motivations are confused. So, teachers in classroom teaching should create English speaking environment(i.e. retelling the story, role playing and watching games ) and encourage students to speak English as possible as they can, so as to guide the students overcome the timidity psychology and carry out after- class learning activities.
Last but not the least, teacher should cultivate students a healthy learning attitude. Since when pupils begin learning English, they are often curious, so it is important for English teachers to maintain students’curiosity; On the other hand, English teachers should also tolerate students’ various psychological barriers in learning English. Ways to let students’ feeling good in learning English can be made by creating good and relaxed atmosphere, making them a happy sense of security, and forming a good learning habit, etc.
3. Implications for the Students
For students, they should cultivate good learning habits; evoke learning interests, and realize the importance of learning English.
It is no doubt that English teacher plays an important role in improving the current situation of the classroom English teaching;however, it is students themselves who should take responsibility for their study. In this sense, there are some suggestions for them as follows:
Firstly, students should cultivate good learning habits. As we all know, a good habits is the guarantee of success, especially for the language learning. Thus, students should make a suitable timetable for themselves in English learning;besides, written English, they should try to spend more time in listening and speaking.
Secondly, it is necessary for students to realize that English is an important branch of subject and they must study hard to obtain more knowledge from it, because correct and active awareness of English can affects the attitude towards learning directly.
In a word, ifstudents’ are fully involved in English learning, then the teaching outcome can be satisfactory.
