Applied Research Of English Learning Strategies For Junior Middle School Students

Students are the main force of educational activities. Generally speaking, the success of language learning depends on whether the learner has undertaken the active and effective study. The 2003 "Junior High School Curriculum Criterion" put forward by the Chinese Ministry of Education fixes the task of English course in the secondary education phase, which includes stimulating and cultivating students' interest in learning English, helping students establish their self-confidence, encouraging them to form satisfactory learning habit and develop autonomous learning and co-operation spirit. But in the course of teaching, I find the teaching effect not ideal because students lack initiative which leads to the polarization of students' performance. After analyzing this, I also find that the factor that results in students' failure of English learning is not the problem of IQ, but the problem of learning method, which is also called the problem of English learning strategy. And this is harmful to students' long-term learning and life-long development. I believe that we must cultivate students' ability of applying English strategies and help them know how to learn.Therefore, I study the theory and practice of language learning strategies developed at home and abroad, and prove the importance of cultivating junior high school students' language learning strategy by educational experiments. I hope to arouse the peer teachers' attention to learning strategy and actively instruct students to apply this tool in their teaching activity. As a result, students can turn to autonomous, exploring and co-operative learning style from passive, receptive and individual learning style.
