IntroductionI have been teaching English for ten years .Now Im teaching the students who are in their first year of a Junior Middle School. In my
10、teaching, Ive found there are some problems. Many students have considerable difficulty while attempting to communicate in English, although some students can get higher grade.Now Ill finish my study in ARTV University. I hope I can solve these problems that have troubled me through the research so
11、that I can apply my knowledge and theory into practice, which I learned from ARTV University.2. Summary of the Preliminary ResearchThis part of my study was conducted during Sept.1Oct.5, 2008.2.1 Problem identificationThe problem I have in my teaching is that lots of students fail to use English cor
12、rectly when expressing themselves freely, which they lack second language acquisition. In other words, students communicative competence is very poor. 2.2 Problem analysis In my teaching, the problem identified was really a serious problem. My preliminary research confirmed that there were 3 main re
13、asons.Firstly, traditional approach is mainly used in the teaching, although Task-based Language Teaching Methodology is promoted in the New Strategies of China. In class I just pay attention to grammar and structure of English, but ignore communicative activities. Secondly, the teaching is teacher-
14、centered and like a duck-feeding process. The activities are always controlled ones. The activities are always controlled ones. The students are occupied in listening to me, taking notes, responding to my questions. They are quite passive and behave like an audience.Lastly, the students lack confide
15、nce. Its difficult for them to learn English. There is few real-world language environments to use English .They only regard English as knowledge which they must pass an exam instead of a mean of communication.2.2.1 Analytic methodMany of my students cant express themselves freely in English and the
16、y lack communicative competence. They always make errors at meaning or form even if they know grammar points. The problem made me think of the other side of the issue: a few top students do well in listening and speaking. This made me think of these:Why most dont, while a few do?Who are they?Moreove
17、r, “My students” are in contrast with “My colleagues students”, this prompted me to make a chain of reflections. What about some of my colleagues students? Is it also the case that they cant express themselves freely in English ?On the other hand , if they are good at communicating in English ,then
18、my problem is actually caused by me myself ,not by my students. Perhaps my lesson plan is poorly designed or my teaching approach is inefficient.Through the above analysis I realized that my problem is probably caused by my teaching technique.2.2.2 Cause analysisI considered my problem from the teac
19、hers side, the students side, and the class size side. In this situation, I asked myself a series of questions and tried to provide some answers to them. In order to know more about this problem, I designed a cause exploration procedure like this: The teachers side - that is me myself Is it because
20、the teaching step is poorly designed?Yes Is it because my teaching approaches arent keeping up with the times? Yes Is it because that I dont have enough enthusiasm? Maybe Is my voice not loud enough for the students at the back to hear? Maybe The students sideIs it because they are not motivated? Ma
21、ybe Is it because they do not think it important and necessary to use English communicatively? Probably Is it because they have some difficulties unsolved by themselves? Maybe Is it because they lack confidence? Yes Do they regard the teacher as their helper? No The class size My class has 57 studen
22、ts. Such a big class may have some negative effects. The class is too noisy. Some of them arent concerned enough.Of all the causes, I believed that the teacher was mainly responsible for the failure. I wanted to know what my students thought about the problem.2.2.3 Questionnaire SurveyI made a pilot
23、 investigation in this respect to know more about the situation. For this purpose, I designed a research procedure like the follows.One day, I changed my teaching style, which I had a Task-based Teaching trial. I taught Unit 2 of the textbook Go for it .The title was “Is this your pencil?” I guided
