Chapter One   Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study 
The outline of Higher Vocational English Curriculum has definitely put forward that the aim  of  this  curriculum  is  to  develop  students’  practical  ability  to  apply  English,  especially their listening and speaking ability. Teachers are demanded to take discourse interaction with students  actively  in  classes  actively.  And  teachers  should  deal  well  with  the  relationship between imparting knowledge to students and fostering their application ability. They should guide students to query and explore knowledge in order to promote students’ learning interest and  develop  their  personalities.  Teachers  should  pay  more  attention  to  the  differences  of students’ study requirements, and try to create a language environment in which students have much  more  studying  enthusiasm.  Most  important  of  all,  teachers  should  do  their  efforts  to foster  students’  awareness  and  ability  to  master  and  apply  English  knowledge,  and  to  help students develop better. Comparing with the ones with English as their first or official language, Chinese learners for  being  short  of  a  genuine  ESE  (English  Speaking  Environment)  have  considerably  fewer opportunities to communicate in English both inside and outside the classrooms among peers. This  implies  that  the  English  classroom  is  the  main  place  where  students  acquire  the  target language. It is particularly prominent in Higher Vocational Colleges, for most of the students from  these  schools  are  poor  in  English  and  less  autonomic  in  learning  a  foreign  language. Undoubtedly,  teacher  discourse  is  considered  as  one  of  the  vital  resources  for  learners’ language  input,  and  a  key  element  in  facilitating  the  interaction  between  teachers  and  their students  as  well  as  classroom  management.  We  can  definitely say that whether a classroom instruction is successful or not is to some extent determined by English teachers’ discourse.

1.2 Purpose of the Study 
A general situation can be seen in many higher vocational and technical colleges is that non-English major students’ English has a nickname of “deaf and mute” English and they are unable  to  communicate  freely  with  others  in  English.  Besides  students’  language  learning capability and effort, another reason which results to this abnormal phenomenon in education field  is  the  English  teachers’  classroom  discourse.  Classroom  interaction  is  one  of  the important ways in facilitating students’ language acquirement.
