More Communication in English Class
As a language, English is essentially a vehicle for communication. Communication as a function has become so important in English teaching methodology that a distinctive school of English teaching has been created—the Communicative Approach. This fully testifies to the growing importance of communication in English learning and acquisition.
Unfortunately, in Chinese universities, English classes, like many other classes, are primarily teacher-dominated. For a long time, both students and instructors have seemed contented with discussing grammar and understanding passages through reading, overlooking the oral communication which is much more essential. However, communication is a bridge leading to closer student-teacher interaction. Students should overcome their diffidence and nervousness ensuing from their grammatical deficiencies. They should simply become more concerned with expressing themselves than seeking grammatical accuracy. As they become more outspoken and expressive, they would automatically become more grammatically competent.
The emphasis on communication in English classes will result in many obvious advantages. English will become an instrument of expressing thoughts for the person who speaks it, instead of a tool just for reading about the thoughts of others. In addition, teachers can have positive and timely feedback from students through communication. Finally, by honing their communicative skills, Chinese students will become more competent in interacting with their international counterparts in this age of globalization. I believe those factors are what English learning is all about for Chinese students.
