6.1 Summary

According  to the analysis of the relevant data collected by  means of questionnaire, classroom  observation  and  interview,  we  obtain  the  current  implementation  situation  of Covertly Stratified English Teaching in junior middle school: Covertly  Stratified  English Teaching  is  of  great  help  to  improve  the  students’  self-confidence  and  autonomous learning  ability  at  different  levels.  Most  teachers  have  the  consciousness  of  Covertly Stratified Teaching, and their hierarchical teaching methods are diversified; in form, they can meet the learning needs of students at different levels. However, most teachers lack of hierarchical pertinence in the design of teaching activities and fewer teachers can use the construction of heterogeneous groups as an efficient auxiliary teaching means of Covertly Stratified Teaching. 

There  are  also  some  problems  in  the  process  of  implementation:  teachers’ understanding of Covertly Stratified Teaching mode is still not comprehensive enough, and the required professional teaching ability  is also deficient. This leads to the emergence of problems  such  as  lack  of  heterogeneous  group  construction,  fewer  stratified  classroom activities  and  inaccurate  stratification  of  questioning  subjects.  Teachers’  professional quality should also be improved with the improvement of teaching objectives.

In  view  of  the  problems  found  above,  this  study  puts  forward  the  following suggestions:  firstly,  English  teachers  should  establish  a  correct  concept  of  Covertly Stratified  Teaching,  focusing  on  ―covert‖,  ―stratification‖  and  ―heterogeneous  group construction‖,  put this  teaching  model  into  practice;  secondly,  English  teachers  should make great efforts to activate the teaching process and put the Covertly Stratified Teaching into  practice  in  the  key  aspects  such  as  stratifying  lesson  preparation,  stratifying questioning subjects, enriching innovative and  stratified  teaching activities, implementing student-based teaching reflection and so on; in addition, Covertly Stratified Teaching also has higher requirements for teachers’ professional quality. In order to better implement it, teachers should improve their professional ethics and information literacy in line with the times to meet the learning needs of students at different levels.
