With the rapid development of economy and the fast-speed spread ofinformation, English is now becoming increasingly important. As a type ofcommunicative medium, English has been widely used every day such as in the fieldof computer, science, technology and business, especially in foreign languageteaching and learning.

However, the current teaching mode has still tendedbackwardness which can not guarantee high-quality requirement or cater to socialdevelopment and progress. The traditional teaching method has laid too much stresson grammar and vocabulary without enough focus on practical performance and taskactivities.
In some big countries, English has been taught frotr. the third grade in primaryschools, but a satisfactory teaching result has not been reached. The biggest obstaclefor the students in studying English is that they do not know how to express andcommunicate in English in the authentic situational context rather than to emphasizethe application of vocabulary and grammar. In the past, traditional method of foreignlanb cage teaching has attached much to grammar and scores of the examination. Thestudents' competence has not been increased. This is not the target that qualityeducation pursues. In order to enhance the students' competence in English, expertsand teachers realize that it is urgent to improve foreign language teaching efficiency.They attach more and more importance to communication and autonomy in theirown classes, but there is no real communicative environment and opportunities forthe students to practice. The current situation needs to be changed as quickly aspossible.
