英语是一门实用性极强的工具类学科,学习英语的最终目的在于交际。由于国内长期人才选拔与教育机制的偏差,导致中学英语教育往往片面重视应试考试,忽略了英语教育最本质的目的——交际,其突出表现在忽视对学生英语听说能力的培养。这种舍本逐末的教育模式直接导致我国外语人才培养的病态,要改变这种“扭曲”的外语教育模式,我们就必须从教育理念出发,充分认清听说能力对现代实用外语教育的重要作用。 English is a very practical tools discipline, the ultimate goal of learning English is communication. Due to the deviation of domestic long-term talent selection and education mechanism, English education in middle school often pays one-sided importance to examination-oriented examinations, neglecting the most essential purpose of English education-communication. Its outstanding performance neglects the training of students’ English listening and speaking abilities. This round-the-bottom education model has directly led to the morbidity of cultivating foreign language talents in our country. To change such a “twisted” foreign language education model, we must fully understand the importance of listening and speaking skills in modern practical foreign language education effect.
