初中英语教学中的一个突出问题是两极分化。尽管教师花费的时间与精力不少,可还是有相当多的学生从初一下学期起就逐渐掉队,有的甚至放弃了英语学习。这对落实九年义务教育大纲,大面积地提高学生英语成绩是极为不利的。要缩小两极分化,必须遵循教学规律,采取适当的教学措施,切实打好基础。 One of the prominent problems in junior high school English teaching is polarization. Although teachers spend a lot of time and energy, there are still quite a few students who have gradually left the team from the beginning of the semester, and some even gave up their English study. This is extremely unfavorable for the implementation of the nine-year compulsory education program, which will greatly improve students’ English performance. To reduce polarization, we must follow the rules of teaching, take appropriate teaching measures, and lay a solid foundation.
