面临新的时代背景,为了适应不断变化的社会要求,我国基础教育正在经历从应试教育到素质教育的转变。外语教学是基础教育的重要组成部分,充分认识“素质教育”在外语教学中的重要作用,改变教学模式、更新教学理念是实现在外语教学中实施素质教育的重要途径。 Faced with the new age background, in order to meet the changing social requirements, China’s basic education is going through the transition from exam-oriented education to quality-oriented education. Foreign language teaching is an important part of basic education. It is necessary to fully understand the important role of “quality education” in foreign language teaching. To change teaching mode and update teaching philosophy is an important way to implement quality education in foreign language teaching.
