The economic globalization and infomationization in social life make foreign language especially English the significant means of contacting with the international world.The English language is just like the“currency”circulating between countries and the opening and learning of a foreign language is the manifestation of one nation willing to embrace the international world to a great extent.Therefore,to master a foreign language especially English is the requirement for competitive citizens in the 21st century.

In the early 1990’s,many countries put forward to open foreign language class in elementary schools,furthermore some developed countries even reduced the starting age of learning a foreign language to the pre-school phase.In Europe,as an international language English becomes the first chosen language offered in elementary schools.Gradually,the theories and researches about elementary English teaching and learning are becoming more and more mature.To follow the international trend,opening English course in China is subsequently carried on agenda.
