1. Introduction
With the arrival of the economic globalization and China’s participation in the international competition, China demands more and more people who know foreign languages well. Especially, after China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) and applied successfully to hold the Olympic Games in 2008, this kind of demand becomes urgent. English, as one of the most widely used languages in the world, its importance is self-evident. Today, with the fast development of the society, English teaching is facing new challenges and opportunities. The traditional English teaching method has not been able to adapt to the development of our society. However, many junior middle schools still use the traditional method in English teaching.
