英语是一种交际工具,英语教学的目的是培养学生使用这种交际工具的能力。很多人在学了多年英语之后,仍然很害怕开口讲英语,即使某些英语教师开口也是一说就错,对学生而言,“说”这一关就更非易事了。英语教学里的交际原则,要求教师把英语作为交际工具来教,也要求学生把英语作为交际工具来学,还要求教师和学生在课内课外把英语作为交际工具来用。 English is a communicative tool, and the purpose of English teaching is to develop students’ abilities to use this communicative tool. Many people are still afraid to speak English after many years of studying English. Even if some English teachers say something wrong, it is even more difficult for students to say “say”. The communicative principle in English teaching requires teachers to use English as a communication tool to teach, but also requires students to use English as a communication tool to learn, but also requires teachers and students to use English as a communication tool in and after class.
