The Current Situation and Countermeasures of English Teaching in Senior High Schools under the Background of New Curriculum Reform

Abstract

After a brief review of the current situation of English teaching in senior high schools under the Background of New Curriculum Reform, this article finds that various problems exist in senior high school English teaching, and the gap between the teachers’ seemingly acceptance of the new idea of new curriculum and their practical teaching exercises is distinct. The main reasons of these problems are teachers’ outdated conditional knowledge and practical knowledge, and the contradiction between the teaching requirements of the new curriculum and the summative assessment of the National University Entrance Examination. Therefore, promoting teachers’ professional development, perfecting the assessment mechanism and changing the traditional education mode are crucial, which are the main solutions to solve these problems.
