English, as a language, is the dress of thought. Language is most essential to mankind. It is used every day .Hardly any moment passes without someone talking, writing or reading. Our lives increasingly depend on fast and successful use of language. In terms of linguistics, language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. This system has two sets of structures , one of sounds and the other of meaning . Meanwhile, it is a part of culture. English taught as a subject is components of vocabulary, grammar and phonetics. In this opinion, it is well known that learning English is as same as learning vocabulary ,grammar and phonetics. Students are trained to read ,write and listen. They seldom say English. Moreover, their feelings, personalities, attitudes are not cared for in class. Their learning merely depend on their interest in English. English knowledge is highly emphasized in class. Their motivation of learning English is not cared for. Their learning methods are to try their best to memorize the English knowledge. Certainly their English is not good enough to communicate. Class is held in an efficient way. Teaching is not successful.
（科教论文网 lw.NsEac.com编辑整理） As we know , we do not learn a language but acquire a language. What we learn is not a language but the use of a language. Therefore , English knowledge is not unique in class. We learn English not only intentionally but also unconsciously. English class also contains students’ cultural awareness, feelings and attitude, communicate competence, creativity etc. The recessive contents cannot obviously be taught in class. They are concerned with students’ mind. They should be achieved by another way . That is aesthetic education in junior English class. The recessive target is the underlied element that brings about students’ successful communication. Words are the forms of the successful communication. The ideal class is to combine the recessive target and the forms into an entity harmoniously and naturally. The contents of class can stimulate students’ feelings and make students be involved in class actively and spontaneously. Let students say what they want to say from their hearts and say the things they are interested in. Teacher is a participant in the activity, not a supervisor. Or not a lecturer but a guider. Students’ thoughts can be expressed freely.
