(Harvey 1985). Therefore, in teaching English to Chinese students, appropriate grammar analysis is essential, especially
for beginners. However, instead of teaching grammar traditionally and drilling grammar patterns, relating the teaching
of grammar and pattern drills to meaning and use should be a better way.
At last, sitting in circles is a very good method to draw the students’ concentration in the class, but it is more workable
in small sized classes. In China, although some English training schools have made the class size smaller, in most of the
English training centers, especially the very popular ones, the big class is still the norm. It is hard for a teacher to
control the number of the students. Anyway, as a teacher, one would try the best to pay more attention to every student
and help them as much as they could.
