“教学是一门科学,也是一门艺术,是科学性和艺术性的统一体。”富有成效的教学不仅取决于教师对教材的认识水平,也取决于教师对教材深入浅出的讲解艺术。因此,中学英语教学应特别注重情境教学,在使学生获得英语基础知识的同时,着重培养为交际初步运用英语的能力。 “Teaching is a science, but also an art. It is a unity of science and art.” Effective teaching depends not only on the teacher’s level of knowledge of the teaching materials, but also on the art of teachers’ explanation of the teaching materials. Therefore, English teaching in middle schools should pay special attention to situational teaching. While enabling students to acquire basic English knowledge, they should also focus on developing the ability to use English as a language for communication.
