摘  要

 现代社会英语教学在中国教育中日益重要，随着教育质量的提高，英语教学的改革势在必行。然而，交际法英语教学已引入我国多年，其最大的优点就是把交际能力的提高作为语言学习的目标，承认语言与交际之间的相互依赖关系，此外重视课堂中学生交际能力的运用，注重学用合一，强调学生的主动性和相互作用。
全文共分为四部分，第一部分阐述了在当前教学中出现的问题；第二部分主要介绍交际教学方法的定义，特点，优点等。第三部分则主要介绍了交际法在中学课堂教学中的应用，并对中学英语教学中存在的问题提出了改进措施。在文章最后一部分，作者对两个英语水平大致相同的英语班进行了调查，并通过前后对比得出交际法具有改善学生交际能力，提高课堂教学效率的结论。最关键的是教师应该改变传统的观念及教学方法，真正扮演好教学工作中组织实施者的角色。
