To be aware of the challenges English teachers may face under the New National English Curriculum.,A brief history of foreign language teaching in China,Foreign language teaching before 1978 A phase of restoration (1978-1985) A phase of rapid development (1986-1992) A phase of reform (1993-2000) A phase of innovation from 2000,Foreign language teaching before 1978,Since the early 1900s, the study of a foreign language has been regarded as important and listed as one of the fundamental subjects in middle school curricula. The result was not very satisfying. Since the founding of PRC , in the first 15 years, Russian was the dominant language in both secondary schools and college. When schools resumed teaching in the early years of 1970s, English became the required foreign language in secondary schools .,A phase of restoration (1978-1985),The first national syllabus was issued by the Ministry of Education in 1978. The general aims: to learn the basic phonetics, grammar, words; to develop preliminary language skills: listening, speaking, reading and translation. The establishment of the National Foreign language Teaching and Research Association(中国教育学会外语教学专业委员会), Two journals: Foreign Language Teaching in Schools《中小学外语教学》，English Teaching and Research at Primary and Secondary Schools 《中小学英语教学与研究》,1978 national syllabus,A phase of rapid development (1986-1992),A revised English syllabus for secondary schools was issued in the autumn of 1986 followed by rewriting of textbooks by the People's Education Press(PEP),A phase of reform (1993-2000),With the 1993 English syllabus and the new textbooks, ELT has yielded promising results. The English proficiency levels of senior secondary school leavers in 1999 had improved by a big margin compared to a similar study done in 1985 by MOE,A phase of innovation from 2000,The New National English Curriculum was issued in 2001（ trial implementation）. The problems in previous teaching: 1) overemphasis on knowledge while ignoring language ability. 2) a lack of connection between different stages of schooling. 3) little allowance (allowing some freedom to move within limits) for individual learner differences. 4) no formative assessment. The main task of English curriculum：refer to the chart on P44,Designing principles for the National English Curriculum,Aim for educating all students and emphasize quality oriented education. Promote learner centeredness and respect individual differences. Develop competence based objectives and allow flexibility and adaptability. Pay close attention to the learning process and advocate experiential learning and participation. Attach particular importance to formative assessment and give special attention to the development of competence. Optimize learning resources, and maximize opportunities for learning and using the language.,Goals and objectives of English language teaching,The new curriculum is designed to promote students’ overall language ability, which is composed of five interrelated components, namely, language skills, language knowledge, affects, learning strategies and cultural understanding. Each component is further divided into a few sub-categories. Language teaching is no longer aimed only for developing language skills and knowledge, but expanded to developing learners’ positive attitude, motivation, confidence as well as strategies for life-long learning along with cross-cultural knowledge, awareness and capabilities,Five aspects of overall language ability:,,,Challenges facing English language teachers,1) English language teachers are expected to change their views about language which is not a system of linguistic knowledge but a means for communication. 2) English language teachers are expected to change their traditional role of a knowledge transmitter to a multi-role educator. 3) English language teachers are expected to use more task-based activities and put the students at the center of learning. 4)English language teachers are expected to use more formative assessment in addition to using tests. 5) English language teachers are expected to use modern technology in teaching, creating more effective resources for learning and for using the language.,,THANK YOU,。
