The ways are:a.Arousing students'correct motivation and developing their interest in learning English;b.Changing the unsuitable teaching ways in procedure of teaching English;c.

2Problems in present English Teaching in Country Middle School
The problems in present English teaching in country middle school are so much,including the problems in English educational views in country,the problems in English educational system,the problems in country economy and so on,but I will describe the problems which restrict seriously the effectiveness of English teaching in country middle school.
2.1Lack of Resources for English Language Teaching in Country Middle School.The present student's Book using by all country middle school(people's Education Press) need a uniform set of teaching materials such as CAI, video,tapes and some pictures. But limited byundevelopingeconomy in country,thelearning environment at school is not good and the educational establishment are still lacking seriously.According to the recent vestigation,only about 30% middle school in country have the adequate equipment for teaching,in most schools,the English teacher have class completely depending on the two books——the Teacher's Book and the Students' Book,and a recorder.
There is another difficulty which is that the faculty of the English teachers in country middle school is too low to meet the need of the present English teaching.Such problem is the main factor of leading to bad results of teaching.To take a success in English teaching,the teachers themselves must have very good abilities of listening,speaking,reading and writing, as well as the abilities of acting,singing,anddancing.However,the situation in most country middle school is that nearly 2/3 the English teachers didn't graduate from the English faculty in college.Many teachers find that they are weak in using English in class.They are not only weak in their pronounciaton,but also weak in their professional knowledge,of course it is hard for them to have experiment in teaching reform and studying,In class,many teachers do as the Teacher's Book does completely ignoring the actual state in process of teaching.
Lastly,there is a problem that is brought on the lacknes of educational establishment.Generally,there are 40~60 even more students in one class.Such"big"class makes it difficult for teachers to use"communicative strategy"in the procedure of teaching.
2.2Lack of Clear Goals and Correct Motivation in Study.In junior middle school,influenced by the traditional methodology, most teachers of English teach their students only to help their get high scores.The students think that themain reason for their goodremarks depend on their diligence and cleverness.Most students' motivation to study English was to get high schools in the entrance examination to enter colleges or universities.They,accordingly,would be reluctant to try their hands on task——solving activities which demonds speaking which the entrance examination does not include.Most learners from the countryside whose scores are low don't study carefully at all because they think there is no expection for them to pass the college entrance examination.They have lost the confidence thoroughly,so in class,they always disturb other students.
2.3Unsuitable Teaching ways in process of Teaching.Despite the appeal of methods,the efficiency of methods used in our country middle school is somewhat of an embarrassment. Basically there are two types of English teaching procedure. One is the traditional way in which teachers teach the lesson still"word by word""sentence by sentence"translating and then study the grammar rules.The other way in class,in which the teacher organize the student to do a great deal of dull activities which is useless for the students to improve their oral speaking level.The two ways I talked above have many disadvantages for English teaching in country.The main fault is that the students can only get the dead knowledge not a ability of learning language through six years of study.In such procedure of teaching,the students role is still subordinate,they learn English not on their own initiative.
2.4Lack of Learning skills.Since the one of porpose of teaching is letting the students"learn
to learn",the teacher should help the students master some learning skills.But the fact in most country middle school is that many students only learn English in the classroom,out of classroom,they don't know how to do with their English language learning except finishing homework.They find that they are so weak in studying by themselves.Some other students read the book all the day,but they can't say a English word if close the book.All these result from lack of learning skill instruction.
3Ways of Solving the Problems
Arosing Students' Correct Motivation and Developing their Interest in Learning English."Motivation is a key element in English Learning".(Nunan 1990:58) So,at the beginning of school,the teacher should help the students get correct motivation of learning,which is not only important for them to abroad their minds,because in procedure of learning,they can know much more about other foreign countries,include the culture,history,custom and some famous scenaries etc. Especially after China's entering WTO,the relationship between different countries is intimate more and more,as a middle school student,it is a duty to learn English well.
To develop the students'interest of English learning, teachers should try their best to make the class interesting enough to attract the students.At first ,lead-in the text content by talking about interesting topics which are related the text, for example ,when teaching SEFC I life in the future
we can begin the class with discussion of computer, encourage the student express their idea about future.Second, use game strategies during the class period to make the class lively,for example,when teaching At the Shop,we can have students act short play to develop their interesting,Third it is a suitable way to create a good learning environment for students,e.g hang some English pictures on classroom wall, sing some English songs,tell English story before class etc.
4Conclusion
This paper discussed the problems of present English teaching in country middle school:①Lack of the educational resources for English language teaching;②Lack o clear goals and correct motivation in study;③Unsuitable teaching ways in process of teaching;④Lack of learning skills.The paper also described the ways of solving the problems:①Arousing students'correct motivation and develop their interest in learning;②Changing the unsuitable teaching ways in procedure of English teaching;③Introducing more learning skills to students;④Supplying the teachers with more chances to the complex problems English teaching,it is impossible for the paper to discuss all the solution to the problems.
