(1).For many years, we have adopted a single way of evaluation, written examination is the dominant way of evaluation during English teaching.
Nowadays as the penetration of character education and the development of reforming in examination, the examination for entering university and the examination for entering high school both have carried out listening test. For the whole nation, most of examinations are written ones in normal times. We always concentrate on evaluating the result of study, but we ignored the evaluation of the process of learning English and the evaluation in a group. Chen Yukun, an professor in Hua Dong Teachers’ University said, “The efficiency of our English teaching is low and the application of our English teaching is not strong, which are related to the teaching evaluation.” So it is necessary for us to continue to study the problem of evaluation during the English teaching.
(2).The principles we must conform in the evaluation of English course as follows:
① Multi-evaluation. According to the spirit of course reform in basic education, the new systems of evaluation that will be built by us must reflect the multi-characters, including multi-aims and multi-evaluation tools.
② Inspiration. The purpose of evaluation is to promote the students’ all-round development. Because of the misunderstanding over the teaching ideas, in the past we thought that the evaluation was equal to the examination, especially the examination for entering high school and the examination for entering university. Nowadays, if we want to carry out the scientific systems of evaluation, the inspiring principles must be embodied. The multi purpose is that teachers can know about the study condition of the students and inspire students to become more positive in learning English, and adjust to the English teaching.
③ Sentiment. The relation is close between sentiment and teaching. Because the language itself is a tool for expressing people’s sentiment, it is related to the development of the people’s psychology and civilization .In addition, the teachers go about teaching and the students go about studying, they have different sentiments that can bring about the discrepancy between teaching and learning. So when we evaluate the students we must do our work with positive sentiment, pay attention to the progress of them, treat them well, and make the students benefit from the evaluation, not punished.
5. Building the new way of English teaching is a good idea, but that does not mean negating all of the ways of English teaching we have adopted.
We advocate character education as we discuss it, which does not mean abandoning examination education. The examination education also has many advantages, which need inheriting and carrying forward, but we must abandon its disadvantages .If we deal with the problems of English teaching in the views of relationship and development, the teaching of English will be improved and perfect.
