中国的外语教学当前面临一个很大的困境,即部分学生厌倦英语学习,这种学习状况跟中国继续扩大对外开放背景下英语日益凸显的重要性格格不入。作者认为教师充分利用西方流行音乐辅助英语教学是当前多媒体教学时代激发学生学习英语的兴趣的便捷而又行之有效的方法。为此,教师必须不断提升这方面的素质。 At present, China’s foreign language teaching faces a big dilemma: some students are tired of studying English. This learning situation is incompatible with the increasingly prominent importance of English in the context of China’s continued opening up. The author thinks that it is a convenient and effective method for teachers to make full use of western pop music to assist English teaching in the current era of multimedia teaching to stimulate students’ interest in learning English. To this end, teachers must continue to improve the quality of this area.
