Many children have been exposed to the English in the kindergarten so that they could build up a solid basis for their further study on English. Psychological studies indicate that the best period for learning language usually from the age one to five, and during the period, not only the children have the strong ambition of learning language, but also the childrens parents will use all kinds of the way to train their ability of language so as to make children have a good understanding of language. In this training, the children will quickly understand a kind of language. However, when the subject of English really be the subject for examination in the middle school, a lot of students feel that it has a little difficult to learn English. The middle school students study English, in normal conditions, will be interested in learning English and be glad to do it at the first period, but after a piece of period, some students ambition have come down, and they have no confidence to go on study English, even getting boredom and low marks. The English education in the middle school takes a lot of time, has ponderous burden, and has less whole effective. The students are tired of study, and the teachers are tired of teaching. Why have these conditions? The level of teachers qualifications is uneven. The level of the students intelligence quotient is irregularly, and so on. They could be one of the reasons of these problems. But, through the investigation which I make indicates that the condition of middle school students is not good. We should attach importance to it. Basic on the report we summarize three important effects on the obstacles of the middle school students English learning: the obstacles in the classroom education, the students mental disorder, and also the lace of the learning environment. We have to paid close attention to these, so the thesis also analyses the countermeasures for overcoming these obstacles, including the countermeasures from the aspect of education, students and the learn environment. This thesis is meaningful in English education.I. The investigationA. The respondents: One hundred middle school students B. The report:At April, 2011, I do this report in one of middle school to one hundred students with the style of no name and randomization. These students seriously do these report paper. I gave out 100 pieces and received 60 pieces. Then count the data. The report is following:Choice menuA. usuallyB. sometimesC. hardlyD. unknown1. Are you positive in the class?8%15%42%35%2. Are you interested in English?14%38%48%0%3. Do you understand the teacher what to say?20%30%42%8%4. Can you understand someone speak English?12%42%0%0%5. Do the unknown words make sign in Chinese?66%10%12%12%6. Do you prepare lessons before class?15%20%65%0%7. Do you do some additional texts?9%13%58%20%8. Do you speak English “loudly” as usual?31%60%4%5%9. Can you speak English” whichever” you want?8%48%25%19%C. Analysis the reportThe survey No.1, 2 indicate that lots of students are not interested in English learning and are not positive in English class. The classroom education can not attract the students learn English.The survey No.3, 4 we can know that only 20% students can understand what the teachers say, 42% of them are hardly to understand, and half of them do not understand someone speak English. That means lots of students who have learnt English for four years or five years still have a little knowledge of English.The survey No.5 indicates that when the students learn new words, 66% of them write the phonetic in Chinese. They have the reliant mind.The survey No.6, 7 indicate that 65% students do not prepare the lesson before the class and 58% students do not do any additional texts, which mean the students do not self learning in English. The survey No.8, 9 indicate that that the students have the limitation of speaking English and using English.Above on, the data of the report indicate that the general problems of high school students in English learning. Through the investigation we will analyze the specific obstacles in English learning.II. The obstacles in the English learningA. The obstacles in the classroom educationThe middle school English classroom education is the important way to improve the students English learning interesting, and also the key to improve the quality of English education. How to teach for the teacher in the class and how to study for the students in the class? It is always the important problem for the researchers to discuss. In recent years, the classroom education in the middle school achieves a little better effective through reform and summery. But now the students in the English learning still have some problem. Based on the survey report, we can know the major problem that affect and block the improvement of the classroom education quality in middle school.1. The style of spoon-feeding educationIn the class, some teachers spout on and on, and the blackboard is full of words, then the students keeping writing their notes. These kinds of spoon-feeding education bring many disadvantages. The more the teachers teach, the less the students get the opportunity of understanding knowledge by themselves and of the ability of training. The students have no time to think, to digest, and to absorb the knowledge so that they can not consolidate their physics knowledge. Once more, to teach a lot has no importance, and the students can not understand the important points. So the students easily to grow tired and do not have the atmosphere to study in class.2. The style of old-fashioned Some teachers have class in the original position that do not have the modern instrument to assist, such as no language lab, no slideshows, and no computers, even more the recorders less to be used. From the class beginning to end only the teachers speech, there is no point in attracting the students. 3. The style of being weary of learningIn normal conditions, the students always learn English character by drilling them into their head. Some of them even unknown the phonetic symbol and can not spell the word. They usually repeatedly recite and write the letters in order just like read the telephone numbers. As a result, it is not effective for the students to study hard. They can not pronounce accurately the word which they have learned and not learn, to add a lot of homework, the students feel that more and more difficult to study, then they will be afraid of and be tired of learning English.4. The style of mother tongueWhen the students meet the new word, they write the phonetic symbol in Chinese. In the class some teachers teach English in Chinese, they change the English class into Chinese class. B. The students mental disorderExcept for the objective reasons that the survey indicated, the chief reasons are that some subjective reasons exist in middle school students for the English learningthe students mental disorder.1. Reliant mindReliant mind means that someone is lack of self-learning and independence. Due to misunderstanding of the English learning, some students never speak English; even have no knowledge of the basic spelling. They do not recite the word or the structures: some of them are lack of the ability of self-control. The students do not concentrate their efforts on having class, do not prepare for the class and do not repeat for the class in time, copy or not finish their homework. They do not have the motivated in the classroom, and when they meet the problem on study, they do not take the initiative to ask, so they become the reliant mind.2. The frustrated psychologyEvery student has the needs that contributed to improving the students confidence and the ability of their creative to make their potation to come true, But in the equal competition learning, the students get less opportunities of praise；on the contract, they get more experience from their failure. So the students feel paint and sad.3. The psychology of inferiorityThe students can not actually analyze the reasons of getting low grades; they always think that someone who gets high scores is cleverer than himself or herself. Second, they are afraid of the opinions from others and of the assessment of their teachers and classmates. If they lost their mood, they will be the fear of inferiority.4. The psychology of boredomBecause of the poor foundation, the students have no chance to exchange their ideas to others in the classroom learning, they have a sense of boredom even to parents, teachers and students5. The psychology of fearFailures at each examination in the learning, the students who face the pressures of school and have fragile psychological ability is afraid of the wrong psychology, and they can not get the help from their teachers or parents, so they are easy to lose their courage and confidence to study. Then they are afraid of study.6. The reverse psychologyWhen the students completely lose the confidence to study, at this time teachers have paid no attention to the students emotional situation, and force the students to transfer their emotion, the students easy to close their mind, refuse which could accept things, then the students will produce dissatisfied, showed unusual emotion and behavior tendency and breeding of reverse psychology.C. The lack of the learning environmentThe purpose of learning language is to adept application language for day-to-day communication. However, the Students are sometimes or accidentally speak English, and can not speak English as usual. Some of the students even do not understand English what the others speak. Some students began to learn English from primary school seven or eight years, they still not fully understood. Although the written test will get high marks, but when they speak English, they will have the problem of deaf English-could not understand and mute English. That is the major regret in our learning English.III. The countermeasuresA. The countermeasure for classroom education1. Carried out some games in classClassroom teaching is often only 45 minutes. Now, because the task of English teaching is relatively heavy, so the teachers always make the use of the class to impart knowledge to students and do not stop speaking in the whole class. This is called “cramming method of teaching”. Everyone knows that the model of “cramming method of teaching” can not take ideal effect, on the contract, will lead to the psychology of being weary of learning. If the teachers speak slowly and do some games in class, the students will be interested in English learning.2. The construction of English teaching equipment Todays society is the era of rapid development of science and technology, but the English teaching is still at the condition of old-fashion, who can not adapt to the demands of todays development. Language teaching in some developed countries has generally used advanced teaching methods, not only through the equipment of language laboratory, slides, tape recorders, video recorders to aid in teaching, also uses the way of computer teaching, computer test and so on. Todays society is the era of rapid development of science and technology, still at the original teaching of English teaching in the State, cannot adapt to the demands of the development of the times. Language teaching in some developed countries has generally used advanced teaching methods, not only through the equipment of language laboratory, slides, tape recorders, video recorders to aid in teaching, also uses the way of computer teaching, computer test and so on. These advanced teaching equipment, particularly the way of computer teaching and computer examination has not been widespread use in English teaching in middle schools in China. In order to improve the quality of English teaching in middle school, we must strengthen the construction of English teaching equipment, using advanced equipment to teaching, such
