In recent years,people raised the education reform and curriculum reform .the reform is significant in present-day china ,because it leads to students-centered teaching rather than teacher-centered teaching .the shift from teacher-centered teaching to student-centered teaching is well underway nationwide,and has already been widely by many scholars and teachers.and it asks teachers to change their views and roles. Middle school English teachers should adapt themselves to the education development,seize the chance ,transform their views,change their their roles,and regard the students as the focus of their teaching. But practicing student-centered teaching rather teacher-centered teaching does not mean the reduction of teachers”functions,which transforms the responsibility of learning from teachers to students ,it requires the English teachers to promote their roles in many aspects.there are two fashionable idioms”keep up with the times”and “off the beaten track”.the following article is an exploration into the English teachers “role in the students-centered teaching surroundings.Chapter 2 presenting teacher-centered teaching 2.1 presenting the essence of teacher-teaching Traditional English teaching holds that teachers are the centers of the English classes which are dependent on teachers as the source of knowledge and direction.middle school English teachers are expected to be the matter experts.teachers who completely sure of their status as a ruler can not depart from the limitation of the tradtitional textbook-orientated teaching .teachers present the information in textbooks and when the students asked questions ,it is the job of the teachers to guide the students to think in such a way that they arrive at “correct” answers(carter,1997:295-296).in the traditional teacher-centered teaching,the focus has been on inputs,the credentials of faculty,the topics to be presented,the sequencing of presentations,and so forth .there is a gap about the use language in real life and the textbooks.2.2 presenting three features of teacher-centred teaching Generally speaking ,the teacher-centered has three features.Firstly ,this kind of teaching targets on rather than functions.middle school English teachers belives that teaching is supplying students with knowledge as much as possible and teaching is from memory to examination .although students learn the given context and finish the cognition assignment ,they do not know their functions .thus they are unable to use them appropriately in real social situations.just like some Chinese students ,they do well in examinations.what they have learned from the textbook or teachers are always considered to be quite right ,but they have learned know how to use them appropriately.students are most passive in the progress of mechanical actions,and they become the victims of the traditional education without knowing how to express their in real situation.Secondly, classes are managed in the given form the standard of evaluation is whether the teachers have fin ished the lesson the plan ideally.language is always used in a certion context .students act as audience ,cooperating with the teacher to do the dialogue .the students follow the teachers,the teachers follow the teaching materials and they all follow the direction of the examinations.that way restriction and the ability of creation .the relationship between the teachers and the students may be a symmetrical one ,such as that of conductor to orchestre memetrical ,coach to players. Current methodology has sought more symmetrical kinds of the relationships between students and teachers such as friend with friend,colleague with colleague.Thirdly ,for various reasons,traditional English teaching tends to targets on two language skills while ignoring the others .sometimes ,the teaching has become programmed to kinds of passive learning atmosphere the teachers talks,the students listen and do their homework .here ,learning simply means taking down whatever is given.in this type of teaching ,students learn the basic skills of reading and writing .for example ,due to the need of language learning in the 19th century ,the grammar-translation method emphasized reading and writing skills while virtually ignored listening and speaking skills.in the past ,there was not listening test in the college entrance examination ,and there is not speaking test,too.Chapter3 presenting student-centered teaching and teacher”s role 3.1 presenting the essence of students-centered teaching Learning centered was a watching in the literature on teaching and education McCombs and whistler(1997.9)define learner-centered teaching as “the perspective that couples a focus on individual learners with a focus on learning best available knowledge about learning and how it occurs and about teaching “.now students centered teaching has been identified as a core value in the teaching .there is an English proverb,”You may take a horse to the water ,but you can not make the horse drink .”the theory of second language acquisition belives that “English can not be taught.it must be learned.”so Middle School English teachers should accomplish students-centered teaching .3.2 presenting the features of students-teaching In the past ,our english teaching hold on teacher-centered teaching .the instruction of the teachers takes up most time of the english classroom and can not provide enough opportunities for the students .thus ,it makes the students becomes the passive acceptors of the language .in fact ,the initial task of english learning is learning not teaching .as we know that english is different from other subjects,it is a practical subject whose linguistic skills must be cultivated and improved by the students practice,the teaching effect mostly depends on the students self-motivation.so english classroom teaching must hold the idea of student-centered teaching .Our modern education has converged on students learning as the center of the educational universe, ideas about what constitutes a high quality education have shifted the traditional view of what learners actually learn ,achieve.in other words,the students centered teaching has three features.Firstly,students-centered teaching is out-orientede,the primary measure of successful teaching is what students actually know and is able to do . Secondly ,students-centered teaching is competency-based,learning objictives and learning outcomes are tied to the most important skills and knowledge in learning.Thirdly, students-centered teaching is dedicated to continual on learning outcomes ,learning faculty are enabled to identify problem areas and redesign improvements.3.3 presenting the english teachers”role under the students-centered teachingThe students-centered teaching is the idea that teachers are facilitators,organizers,guiders,and participants of teaching .it is not enough to construct a syllabus and present information ,the job of the teachers now involves many aspects .but students-centered teaching does not mean the reduction of teachers”role .the most efficient activities of the teachers can be made almost useless if they do not organize them efficiently(Harmer,1982:200).so the Middle School English teacher is the indivisible part in teaching activities.take the functions that the teachers performs in different activities .Before class,the teacher is a planner,who plans to teach ,and what result to achieve.In class,the teacher can be a facilitator and organizer ,he or she facilitates the pace and organizes the activities so that can run smoothly and efficiently.the teacher can be a guider ,he or she gives instructions clearly and briefly before starting the activities so that students know what to do and how to do it .the teacher can be a participant,he or she corrects mistakes and organizes feedbake.After class the teacher is an evaluator ,who evaluates not only how successfully he has conducted the class but also how efficient the learning activities have been.even though in communication among all the participants it is usually the teacher who initiates the interaction .The new curriculum requires the change of the teachers ”role .the most important task of the new curriculum is to change the students learning ,to construct a learning platform that full of freedom ,exploration and communication .while the change of learning patterns expects the change of teaching patterns ,and the change of teaching patterns starts with the change of teachers role .so with the new curriculum ,the first thing for the teachers should do is to change their roles ,to reshape their teaching roles .American Professor W. Doll regarded the teachers role as the “first among equals “Canadian professor Smith holds”in the world of global information ,teachers lost their authoritative status ,”Professor Zhong Qiquan from East China Normal University holds” teaching means the teachers guides while the students should be the center with self-consciousness and self-motion .”Doctor Luo Huibo from Hong Kong holds “teachers role should be changed.” different languages and English teaching and promoting the students-centered position in the new era,teachers should reshape their roles .now English teaching demands that the English teachers play different roles in the language teaching classroom ,and should zct the roles as the following.Nowadays ,from secondary roles to leading ones, more opportunities are given to students and what they have learned is to put into practice ,but they can not do anything without teachers .Middle School English teachers should attach great importance to helping students cultivate their capacities and interests .meanwhile ,more and more teachers are improving themselves to look for advanced methods. Chapter 4 Participating in communication 4.1.The substance of English teaching What is the substance of teaching ?according to the contemporary did actions ,teaching is a combination of communication and learning.based on the English language ,the substance of teaching is communication.Teaching is communication between teachers and students ,a process of exchange ideas ,emotions and information ,which results in interaction.so teaching is communication.Through active communication ,students know and master English ,and form the ability of using .so teaching is communication .Between students and teachers ,the resonator action is interdependent and interactive .the process of studentscognitive regularities is not speared from that of the teachers .on the other hand ,teachers can not work without the objective reactions from students .with the guidance of teachers ,teaching promotes communication .so teaching is for communication .In communicative language teaching ,the teachers importance is determined,according to the description of teachers role by Breen and Candling ,the teachers has two main roles .the first role is to facilitate the communication process between these participants in the classroom ,and various activities and texts .the second role is to act as an independent w
