　　 More Communication in English Class
　　As a language, English is essentially a vehicle for communication. Communication as a function has become so important in English teaching methodology that a distinctive school of English teaching has been created—the Communicative Approach. This fully testifies to the growing importance of communication in English learning and acquisition.
　　Unfortunately, in Chinese universities, English classes, like many other classes, are primarily teacher-dominated. For a long time, both students and instructors have seemed contented with discussing grammar and understanding passages through reading, overlooking the oral communication which is much more essential. However, communication is a bridge leading to closer student-teacher interaction. Students should overcome their diffidence and nervousness ensuing from their grammatical deficiencies. They should simply become more concerned with expressing themselves than seeking grammatical accuracy. As they become more outspoken and expressive, they would automatically become more grammatically competent.
　　The emphasis on communication in English classes will result in many obvious advantages. English will become an instrument of expressing thoughts for the person who speaks it, instead of a tool just for reading about the thoughts of others. In addition, teachers can have positive and timely feedback from students through communication. Finally, by honing their communicative skills, Chinese students will become more competent in interacting with their international counterparts in this age of globalization. I believe those factors are what English learning is all about for Chinese students.

　　英语课上应有更多的交流
　　作为一种语言，英语本质上是人类交流的一个载体。作为一种功能，交流在英语教学法中是如此之重要，以至于一种独特的英语教学流派已被创立起来，即“英语交际法”。这充分标志着交流（际）在英语学习与习得中与日俱增的重要性。
　　不幸的是，在中国的大学里，英语课，如同其它许多课程一样，基本上由教师所主导。长期以来，无论是学生还是老师，似乎都满足于讨论语法，通过阅读来理解文章段落，而忽略了更具本质意义的口头交流。但是，交流是一座桥梁，可以促使师生进行更为密切的互动。学生们应该努力克服由于语法上的不足而引发的不自信和紧张心理。他们应尽量专注于如何去表达自己，而非追求语法上完美无瑕。随着他们变得更愿意开口交谈，更具表达能力，他们在语法上会自然而然地变得越来越得心应手。
　　英语课上对交流的强调必将带来诸多显而易见的裨益。对于说英语的人，英语将成为用以表达他自己思想的工具，而不是用来去拜读他人的思想。此外，通过互相交流，老师可从学生那里获取及时和有益的反馈。最后，通过磨练其交际技能，中国学生可以在当下的全球化时代里。更加游刃有余地与国际上的同龄人展开互动。我相信。对于中国学生而言，所有这些因素，都是学习英语之根本所在。
