Communicative Language Teaching in Ordinary Universities in China
English teaching in China has long been dominated by the grammar-centered, text-centered, and teachercentered method.Since the early 1980s, the studentcentered Communicative approach has been introduced into China.But the effectiveness and the efficiency are not to our satisfaction, especially in ordinary universities in China.To discover the reason, I find that the difficulties for the college teachers in implementing the approach in some ordinary universities hinder CLT in classroom settings.In this paper, I first give the brief introduction to the definition of CLT and the characteristics of CLT. Then I state the differences between ESL and EFL in learning and teaching English and analyze the factors constraining CLT in some ordinary universities in China.Lastly, I put forward some suggestions.My findings indicate that Chinese college teachers in ordinary universities should reform their mentalities and attend to various learning styles by developing a more practical, student-centered way of teaching foreign languages.
