Problems of Traditional English Teaching ModelIn the current college English teaching, classroom teaching is a major teaching model, and it will remain for a long period of time as the main teaching form.Although with since the reform and opening up to the outside world of English teaching evolution, at present the contents and methods of the English classroom teaching have great development, however, foreign language teaching and other disciplines, it is not to impart professional knowledge as the main purpose, but to cultivate the ability of students to apply knowledge.The traditional classroom teaching still has its inherent shortcomings. Unidirectional Channel of InformationThe traditional English teaching model is a kind of perfusion or lecture style teaching model in essence.In this mode of teaching, teachers more is used "indoctrination" method will be related to the language knowledge to students, the entire teaching activity, the flow of information basically is single and the one-way, that is, mainly by the teacher in the classroom from the beginning to the end of the lecture, from the text back background knowledge introduction to the related knowledge of the language points of focus analysis explains, from the whole text structure analysis to sentence drills and exercises in class until the final layout of the homework.And by the students in the class of things is to accept, always in a passive position, students do not have more is given opportunity to use language of thinking and communication, can only passively accept the teachers have taught the knowledge.The traditional classroom teaching has limited the full communication and information exchange between the teachers and students because of the limitation of time and the number of students.The teacher can only give the students the knowledge which is in line with the needs of the major of the students.
