Abstract

According to some theories on Second Language Acquisition and English Teaching Methodology, this thesis studies on the present English learning state of boys in rural middle school. First, taking the advantage of being an internship teacher in Mont, Lu Bai Lu Foreign Language School in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, the author conducts some surveys on the contemporary English learning state of the second-year boys in this rural middle school by exam and questionnaire. And its shows that boys do worse than girls in almost all English learning items especially in grammar and writing. Second, the author analyses the reasons from students themselves, teachers and the social environment by questionnaire and interviewing the teachers. The emphasis is placed on how to improve the teaching methods. Based on the results and Kreshen's inputs hypothesis, the author puts forward "3D teaching method". "3D" means three dimensions, including density, breadth, and depth. The statistics of the experiment prove that the "3D teaching method" contributes a lot to the progress of boy's English learning in rural areas.
