Second, the English language teaching faces great challenges. In our traditional junior middle school English language teaching, the teacher is regarded as the authority and proselytizes instructs dispels doubt. Even some people think that the teacher is the fountain of knowledge, a walking dictionary or a walking encyclopedia.
