English teaching in our age is getting challenging. English books and tapes, English programs on TVs and radios, Internet resources are everywhere. Moreover, elementary English teaching is developing quickly. Most children start learning English before the age of eight. And parents have a wide choice of training institutions to help their kids with their English study. All the changes have pushed the present college English teaching to be different from twenty years ago. So in the new situation, both teachers and students should play new roles in class.
