English Teaching at College(大学英语教学)
1．有人认为大学英浯教学非常成功。
2．有人认为大学英语教学是个失败。
3．我的看法或建议。
[写作导航]开始先分述两种看法，认为大学英语教学成功的人以大学英语考试人数一直猛增及英语能力强的人在各行各业所做的贡献为依据支持自己的观点；认为大学英语教学失败的人则以大学生口语差、翻译和写作水平低为依据支持自己的看法；而“我”认为大学英语教学有进步，但仍存在问题，如教师一言堂，应试教育等；“我”建议大学英语教学应彻底改革，大力培养学生的各项语言技能。
[范文]
    Some people say that English teaching at college in China has proved to be successful Take College English Test as an example, more than four million students have taken it and the number is still increasing year by year. This means that increasing numbers of people are aware of the necessity and importance of English learning. What is more, large numbers of students who are competent in English are making their contributions to the county in all walks of life. Others, on the other hand, suggest that English teaching at college in China is a complete failure. They suggest that, on the whole, most graduates still can＇t communicate with native speakers properly in spoken English. Besides, they are incompetent in both translation and writing.
    I think great progress has been made in English teaching at college in China over the past 15 years. Yet, there are still some problems. On the one hand, English teaching at college in China is still teacher centered, although the student centered approach has been advocated for years. The teacher dominates the class, leaving students little time to practice. On the other hand, English teaching at college in China is still test oriented. Passing College English Test has been regarded as a prerequisite for graduates to get jobs on the job market. So great emphasis is given on how to pass the tests rather than on how to develop the students＇ language skills. As a result, students do not have the language competence though most of them have passed College English Test.
    Therefore, it is my strong feeling therefore that English teaching at colleges in China should go through some radical reform. Priority should be given to the development of the four language skills rather than to develop the skills in passing the examination.
