12、 of life. Why does it happen? Maybe they are just interested in it, and maybe they just want to cope with the exams to get further education, maybe managing a foreigner language is good for finding a satisfying job, or s

13、omething else? Actually I can’t explain this situation clearly. As we all know, English is widely used in many respects, and it plays an imp</p><p>　　All of us spend much time and energy on English learning,

14、 but what’s the result? Maybe most people have to say: “our English is still very poor.” Why? What’s wrong with English teaching in China? As for us, this is a serious problem which is worth pondering.</p><p&g

15、t;　　The test-oriented education forces some students to learn English. They have no interest in learning it. Needless to say, they can’t make great progress, just stay on the original level. I think it is a shortcoming i

16、n current English education. What’s more, our teachers only focus on the test skills, rather than practical abilities. For example, when we are in middle school, our English teachers neglect our spoken English so that we

17、 can’t communicate with others fluently. They just teach us how </p><p>　　It is known that English is an important subject for students, so the parents send their children to take part in extra training on w

18、eekend. I can’t imagine that the little children are forced to learn English rather than enjoy their childhood. From primary school to university, you must take a lot of English exams. Sometimes I’m wondering whether the

19、 education system is reasonable or not. </p><p>　　Maybe improving English teaching in China make no sense, but it is important to change our education system. If we are willing to learn to English

20、, I’m sure our English is better than now.</p><p>　　How can we make progress? I think we still have a long way to go.</p><p>　　Education is a fruit of society, while its starting point is the ne

21、ed of the community. The basic education has been long concentrated on entrance exam and intended to train outstanding students. The result of exam and the rate of entering high school is the only standards to assess sch

22、ools and appraise teachers. As a result, schools do without following the educational rule, teachers teach in a hard-and-fast way, students lose their initiative, enthusiasm and creativity to learn. As the impleme</p&

23、gt;<p>　　The Primary School affiliated to Shanghai Normal University was the first to put forward and implement the Happy Teaching Method in 1987. They paid attention to the study of students instead of concentrat

24、ing on the teaching of teachers. The school took a reform of “more illuminations, more intuitions and more practices” and encouraging students to question and debate. They established a class structure that focused on th

25、e practical ability of students which included question, reading, laboratory</p><p>　　Being aware of the importance of education, a large number of scholars have devoted their time and energy to the course o

26、f the education. However, as the saying goes: “There is no royal road to learning.” So is education. Education is not a course that can be easily achieved. It is always full of challenges. Nowadays, the United States is

27、the only super power in the world. Without doubt, English is considered as the international language to exchange information. As a developing country, Chinese</p><p>　　As for English learning, it is a heada

28、che both for teachers and students in China. On the teachers’ part, they are exploring the most suitable way to teach students. On the students’ part, some think that pronunciation is very difficult; while others claim t

29、hat grammar is much more tedious. Different people have different views. Frankly speaking, English is more complex in some aspects comparing with Chinese. Just take inverted sentence structure for example, there are a lo

31、e troubled me for some time in practice so that I can apply my knowledge and theory into practice which I learned from HuNan Agricultural University.</p><p>　　1 Status quo of Foreign language education in C

32、hina</p><p>　　As the most populous country in the world, China also boasts one of the largest populations of English learners and a history of over seven decades of English teaching and learning. Traditional

33、ly, English teaching in China is dominated by a teacher-centered, book-centered, grammar translation method and emphasis on rote memory. As a matter of fact, this approach is still existent in some middle schools . Thes

34、e traditional teaching approaches reflect the typical Chinese classroom for learning En</p><p>　　Since China began her open door policy, she has greatly increased contact with foreign countries, which has gi

35、ven more importance to the use of foreign language. Nearly all trades and professions need people who have attained foreign language proficiency in varying degrees. Learning a foreign language is also conducive to the de

36、velopment of children’s intelligence, cultural awareness, and outlook on the world. So foreign language is listed as an essential component of compulsory education in ful</p><p>　　Before any teaching takes p

37、lace, there are a number of things involved in the teaching process. They are the aims of the teaching, the syllabus to be followed, the materials to be used, the topics to be covered and the exercises, and the methods o

38、f assessment and testing. All of these reflect a general approach to the teaching of languages. As we can see, it is very apparent the language teaching involves different linguistic theories, the approach and methodolog

39、y likewise adopted are influenced</p><p>　　Traditional Chinese education and its effect on middle school English teaching</p><p>　　As is widely known, China is a country whose civilization goes

40、back to thousands of years. In the course of China’s development, one of its greatest thinkers, Confucius, laid the philosophical foundation for education in China. Confucian teachings about language structure and memori

41、zation of textual materials affected the way the Chinese teach and learn, helped set the educational pattern in China. The most obvious features which summarizing from other’s papers are as follows:</p><p>

42、　　A). Concentration on intensive reading as a basis for language study.</p><p>　　B). Use of memorization and rote learning as a basic acquisition technique.</p><p>　　C). Meticulous emphasis on l

43、inguistic details and a corresponding lack of attention to communicative skills.</p><p>　　D). Use of translation as both a teaching and a learning strategy.</p><p>　　E). Teacher’s authority and

44、students’ passive role.</p><p>　　To sum up, English teaching in China has focused on the study of grammar and sentence structures, following traditional Chinese scholarly practice. In the classroom, it is us

45、ual for students to keep silent throughout most of the course. Therefore, there is little, if any, classroom interaction among students in Chinese EFL teaching.</p><p>　　2 Happy Teaching Method </p>

46、<p>　　2.1 The origin and definition of Happy Teaching Method </p><p>　　As far as the origin of the Happy Teaching Method is concerned, it can be divided into two parts both in China and in western coun

47、tries. In China, the origin of Happy Teaching Method can be dated back to the Spring and Autumn Period. Great educator Confucius said like this “學(xué)而時習(xí)之,不亦樂乎?” “知之者不如好之者，好之者不如樂之者” in Chinese. [1] [2] It suggests that l

48、earning itself is full of pleasure and students are able to obtain satisfaction in emotion. At that time, Confucius has realized that the interest of </p><p>　　2.2 The function of Happy Teaching Method</p

49、><p>　　English situation teaching of middle school, according to psychological characteristic of students, through opening various informative situation, offer as many as possible chances to carry on the exerci

50、ses in English to students, such as conversation, the song, the game, tongue twister, etc. Teachers get support from audio-visual aids, and stimulus students’ interest to use language with the help of creating a happy at

51、mosphere.</p><p>　　The former Soviet Union educationist and psychologist Л·В·Ванков says: “Once teaching method touch mood and will field of students, touch spirit of students it can give play to t

52、heir highly effective function on need.” [8] </p><p>　　These theories have fully reflected that characteristics of children are lovely, active. Stress on the practicality of the language, it makes students a

53、ble to study in order to practice, helps to consolidate the memory of the language at the same time. The traditional English teaching method, “spoon-feed ” and “translates from English to Chinese”, not merely make the at

54、mosphere of the classroom oppressive; but also take students accept the knowledge passively, and it doesn’t accord with the pupi</p><p>　　To quote Herbert Spencer: “Education has for its object the formation

55、 of character.” [9] Happy Teaching does for its object the formation of character. How to demonstrate that Happy Teaching plays an important role in education? Happy Teaching Method will cultivate students’ ability

56、to analyze and solve the problems independently. In the past, the students rely on teachers much. Teachers tell the answers to the students directly. On the contrary, now the teachers only give certain clues to </p>

57、;<p>　　Happy Teaching Method will help develop the ability of the students to work things out for themselves. In life, human beings are likely to encounter many difficulties. Thus the students have to learn to fac

58、e the setbacks bravely. In class, the teachers will set a lot of scenes for the students. How to get on well with the classmates? How to communicate with others? The students will live by themselves.</p><p>

59、;　　Happy Teaching Method will foster the students’ ability to study on their own. The pleasure of learning is not confined to learning from textbooks, which are often too tedious. Among the pleasure of learning, we shoul

60、d conclude travel-with an open mind, an alert eye and a visit to understand people, other places, rather than looking in them for a mirror image of oneself. [10] </p><p>　　3 The preparation of adopting Hap

61、py Teaching Method</p><p>　　3.1 Getting on well with students </p><p>　　Teaching and studying is a pair of contradiction. How to get on well between students and teachers is very important. The

62、teenager’s mental characteristics tell us that students of this age like being close to teachers. If they have a good feeling with a certain teacher, then they will be very interested in this teacher’s lesson and will sp

63、end lots of time and energy studying his subject. Of course, as a result, they will get good marks. Maybe this kind of phenomenon is what people often says “L</p><p>　　In order to get on well with students,

64、I often stay at school instead of going home, taking part in all kinds of sports with them. For example, play basketball, play tennis, play games and so on. When we are having a rest, we talk about all kinds of funny thi

65、ngs in our life, studying, interested things, fantastic experiences even emotions. We know each other and become good friends from these talks. Then I get a easy job to have English class for them. Moreover, they learn E

66、nglish breezily.</p><p>　　3.2 Getting well ready for teaching</p><p>　　If a teacher wants to give a successful English class, he must get well ready for teaching firstly. [11] How to get well re

67、ady for teaching? At first, teachers must look through the textbook as much as possible and understand it. Then we can find out the mainly and important knowledge and teach it in an order.Then, what we need to do is

68、 to think over how to give out this lesson, of course, we must still consider students’ situation. For example, how many points have them predominated? What </p><p>　　As we all known, preparative for lessons

69、 is very important to teachers. We should list topics, scene of text, language and the process in our teaching plan. It is an impactful guarantee for our teaching.</p><p>　　3.3 Creating a relaxing and pleasi

70、ng study environment </p><p>　　As for traditional teaching mode and methods, teachers always instill the knowledge to students, they have to accept lores negatively and passively. They don’t feel relaxed an

71、d pleased, but tired and repellent. As the result, they lose their fancy in English. How to change the environment? How to attract students? To attain the aim, teachers should fill with passions and get into the cla

73、ng method is dry and dull. Though it is a good method, if it was used frequently, it will lose expectant effect. For arousing, holding and consolidating the interest, teachers must give teaching materials abundantly, des

74、ign different ways to teach according to the contents. For example: if there is a new word “dentist”, you can bring a game “Magic fingers –how many fingers, how many times.” [12] to help them to remember it. When the tea

76、t;<p>　　One who wants to study English well only to concentrate on the class of 45 minutes is not enough. Furthermore, the one who have mastered the knowledge in the English book not means he have got the ability

77、 to use English well. So we should also develop extracurricular teaching activities which isn’t carry on during class time. But it also has organization and discipline. Teachers should suit the remedy to the case accordi

86、 how to make a banana smoothie in the groups, then acted it out in class. Procedure: Before class, I got ready for a glass of drinks. When I came into the classroom with the glass of drinks, students felt very exciti

92、Teaching Method into practice. Since Happy Teaching Method is different from traditional teaching, there are many requirements for both teachers and students. On one hand, teachers must improve themselves to qualify them

93、selves for the new post. For example, they must</p><p>　　4.2.1 Creating situations to stimulate students’ imagination</p><p>　　The middle school students are curious about the world and full of

95、f to survive? Can you make fire without matches? How to escape from that island? Students in modern society are crammed with the homework. As a result, they have fewer chances to get closer to the nature and learn</p&

97、what they have seen. Teachers also can show some cartoons for the students. Being fond of the cartoons is children’s nature. For instance, when they are learning new words about sports, such as football, basketball etc,
