1.1 Research Background研究背景
Inspiration of the StudyDuring the teaching in college English intensive reading course in ChongqingNormal University in 2010 [English for the students was a foreign language (FL forshort)], the author found some negative phenomena during the teaching time: some ofthe students were not attentive during the class, seemly depressed or lack of interest,while others were a little self-content, as if the teaching content was too simple forthem. Based on classroom observation of other college English intensive readingclasses of this school, the author still found almost the same phenomena occurring inthese classes. The author tried to find some way to solve these problems. After givingthe students some language output tasks such as translation, sentence building,story-retelling and so on, the author discovered that those students who were arrogantbefore seemly became more modest and careful in their learning and the students whowere absent-minded previously became more concentrated.
