语言是人们进行思想交流的工具。英语作为一门语言也不例外。然而我们的英语教学恰巧疏忽了这一点,不重视培养学生语言交际能力。由于目前的考试制度不完善,学生也不重视这方面的培养,这样就失去了语言所应有的功能。直到学生上了大学,都很难与同学、朋友及外籍教师用英语进行交谈,这时,他们才意识到语言的实用价值和社会价值是多么地重要。 Language is a tool for people to exchange ideas. English as a language is no exception. However, our English teaching happened to neglect this point and did not attach importance to cultivating students’ verbal communication skills. Because the current examination system is not perfect, students do not pay attention to the training in this area, thus losing the function of language. It was very difficult for students to go to college and talk with their classmates, friends and foreign teachers in English. Only then did they realize how important language’s practical and social values ​​were.
