The Application of Interactive Teaching Approach to English Teaching in Junior Middle School

I. Introduction

   With the development of economy and technology, the open-policy is implemented in China. International exchanges have been improved rapidly. Learning English has become a basic quality for the people in the 21st century. At the same time, English teaching has witnessed great changes in recent years.

   The approaches which are participated in interactive teaching have been studied and developed by language researchers. They are the cooperative approach and task-based approach. They require the students to interact with others to finish teaching goal.  Researchers find that most of students think they do not have enough practice in their English learning. The research of interactive approach can offer the guidance to English teaching in middle school. It can put forward some suggestion to the English teachers, when dealing with the English classroom problems. What the teachers have taught is mainly about grammar. Teachers did not pay more attention to students' speaking skill. The method mainly emphasizes the interaction with others.

In foreign language teaching, when students express views on a problem in the target language, due to limit of junior students vocabulary, students will find there is a certain gap between trying to express and wanting to express. This gap enables students to realize their shortage with target language. This may be more objective to study and improve the learning efficiency. The interactive teaching model can effectively help the students to overcome the psychological anxiety and improve the confidence of learning English. Junior high school students will not dare to use English, because of fear of mistakes, or do not understand the content in the classroom. In the interactive teaching, teachers and students are a friendly and equal relationship. Because of this kind of democratic and relax teaching atmosphere, students will greatly reduce the anxiety. The interactive teaching model can cultivate the ability of learning. The purposes are to mobilize the enthusiasm of the students and provide more language output opportunities for students. It also can cultivate the students ability of language communication. It forms the teaching atmosphere of harmony, and make students be truly reflected.
