The Formation of Dumb English原文请+QQ324'9114  优'文,论.文'网
       English teaching in China usually starts in junior high school and in many cities. It begins in an upper elementary school, even in nursery. At first sight, the Chinese students with exposure to English as a foreign language look quite similar to that of students in Europe. However, although an average college student generally has spent more than ten years in learning English, he is still poor in listening and speaking. It was reported in China Youth Daily and China Education Daily that English teaching is really “a kettle of warm water that never comes to the boil” in terms of language education, what provides considerable problems in the classroom, particularly for teachers aiming at creating communicative competence in a second or foreign language is the issue of getting students to produce spoken English rather than dumb English.(Xiuying Ni,2005) What’s more，it’s now universal that college students couldn’t speak English fluently after more than ten years English learning. A college student confided his English learning path: “I learned dumb English from primary school to college, and I also insist on learning English in my spare time, though I find that I can’t make much progress.”
    As we know different styles of lesson plans have been used by different teachers. The following lesson plan adopts from a teacher who comes from CSU.
