The Empirical Study On The Application Of Class-selection System To English Teaching In Grade One In Hailar No.2 High School

Generally speaking,the freshmen admitted to normal senior high school show different levels in English both in marks and English foundations as they do in the first grade in No.2 Hailar Senior High School.Due to the lack of personalized teaching modes and qualified teachers,all the freshmen are arranged equally to the same class without consideration of their different English learning abilities,which obviously violates the principle of teaching students in accordance to their aptitude.As a result,while the students with better English learning aptitude do not learn enough,the rest have too much to learn.What is worse,they gradually left behind and lose heart and their interest in English learning.Given this realization,we argued that the traditional fixed-class teaching mode doesn’t meet the demands of teaching reform and the current English teaching situation.On the basis of our systematic investigation,we introduce tentatively the new mobile-class teaching mode into our English teaching practice for the freshmen in the No.2 Hailar Senior High School.Hopefully,it may meet the practical demands of English teaching there and contribute to English teaching reform.As far as research methodology is concerned,the research adopts a integration of the quantitative and the qualitative methods.Specifically,by a general survey of the relevant literature both at home and abroad,I have combed the development and the theoretical foundation of the new teaching mode.Basing on this,I also utilized questionnaires,interviews and exams during my empirical study of the mobile-class teaching mode.Our data analyses show that the mobile-class teaching mode is well received and can definitely cultivate the students of different learning aptitudes to learn English better.In other words,this method greatly improves effectively students’ confidence in English learning.Anyway,like other new modes,the mobile-class teaching mode also inherits its own defects and needs to be further polished in the future teaching practice.As for the paper’s contributions,firstly,what we have achieved in our reform and have found out and even those unsolved problems in our research would inspire more and more teachers to explore the new teaching mode.Secondly,our research also provides some practical and concrete strategies in performing the new teaching mode.Finally,our research provides a useful reference for colleagues who are dedicated to English teaching reform.
