Abstract

In this paper, the author focus on detailed analysis of teacher’s roles in middle English language teaching. The concept of “role” in English teaching refers to the functions of the teacher and student in English teaching. Some teachers think that they must establish the absolute authority in front of students, even in the process of teaching they depend on "whether the students listen to the teacher's words" to establish the evaluation system, which will make students and teachers lack the necessary communication and exchange. Teachers have no patience to students who are poor in English or have bad learning habits. The method of education is stiff, and the students are easy to produce psychological conflict, thus causing the emotional alienation between teachers and students, even tense opposition. The teacher's hard work is not understood by the students, so they lack trust. The lag of the relationship between teachers and students restricts the implementation and development of the new curriculum. 

     Facing some new concepts of the new curriculum, English teacher cannot use the old teaching method to teach. Taking a hard look at what your role, teacher can optimize the English class teaching and promote the all-round development of students, by this way, they can act as the main force of new curriculum reform. With the development of science and the promotion of Internet, the new teaching idea require that teacher’s roles should be taken on by the teachers, who are controllers of the class, assessors of teaching, organizers and participants of learning activities, promoters of students, resource-provider, facilitators of the students in their study, guiders of students’ academic, even the researchers of education career and teaching design. 

Key words: Teacher’s role; Middle school student; Change; ommunication and interaction
