Studies On English Level Teaching For Junior School Education

Classroom teaching is one kind of the traditional teaching ways. But the discrepancy between the students is always a big problem, which is difficult to be solved. The discrepancy between the students has become one of the difficult points of teaching. People are trying their best to find a better way to solve the problem of the teaching model in a classroom.After analyzing the current situation of English teaching in her school and studying about the reform practice in China and other countries, the author decided to go on the experiment on graded teaching in her English classes.The graded teaching methodology is in accordance with the theory of materialism and dialectic principle, and also in conformity to the pedagogical theories. It takes into consideration the students' psychology of learning. It is compatible with the principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and the principle of acceptability. So it has an extensive theoretic basis.The purpose of the thesis was to improve the current situation of English teaching by applying graded teaching mode to English teaching in Class One, Grade Eight, in Shanghai Huoshan School. And in order to find out the teaching effect, the author chose its parallel class-Class Two as the controlled class. The experiment was kept for one year. Before and after the experiment, two test papers (pre-test paper and post-test paper) were used to investigate students' performances on English achievement. At the same time, a questionnaire on English learning was also used in the study to investigate students' learning situation before and after the experiment.According to the experiments, graded teaching in English was more effective in improving students' interest of learning English and also in the result of the examinations than the traditional ungraded teaching mode.The graded teaching methodology is based on the premises that there are differences among the students. The graded teaching is carried out to all the students in the same classroom. The methodology can contribute to the improvement of teachers' qualities. It can stimulate the students to play their major role in the teaching and learning processes. And it can also help to develop the good habits of learning. The thesis consists of four parts. The first part tells the background of the graded teaching in English, the purpose and significance of the study, the contents of the study and the definitions in the study. The second part covers the theoretical frameworks of graded English teaching and the previous researches both at home and aboard on it. The third part indicates how to carry out graded teaching in English classroom.
