Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

It’s widely believed that English is the first lingua franca in the world, and it iscurrently thought to be a universal language used by millions of people. As the world ischanging with each passing day, English has inevitably become an irreplaceable languagein the communication in all fields, such as business, commerce, politics, culture,technology and so on. No one can deny that Learning English well is a must, no matterwhere the person is or what job the person wants to do. Great importance has always beenattached to English learning of Chinese students. In China, almost every student needs tolearn English from their elementary school to college. Some students even need to furtherlearn English after graduation for the sake of their career and life.

However, although China has the largest number of English learners, most of them arejust good English test-takers instead of fluent English speakers, due to the huge pressurefrom various Exams. They master many exam-orientated abilities but lack enoughcommunicative competence to actually use English. No matter what their Englishproficiency levels are, most of English learners in China suffer some deficiency in theability to use English in authentic communication. Some English learners even can’t speakEnglish fluently in spite of their high scores in English exams.

Learning English well is exceedingly important to most Chinese high school students.High school Students need consolidate what they have learned before and makepreparations for their college English learning. Only if they master the basic English skillswell in high school can they have better and further English learning in their college andfuture. Therefore, If students can’t use English to communicate in their high school, theyare not very likely to develop good English communication competence afterwards.

1.2 Purpose of the Study

As is said above, students’ WTC is vital for them to develop their communicativecompetence. The author reviewed some major researches on willingness to communicate.Based on the theoretical models of MacInytre’s heuristic model and Wen and clement’sconceptualization of WTC, the purpose of this study is to make a relatively incisive andcomprehensive investigation into the current situation of students’ WTC in high schoolEnglish class in frontier ethnic areas, analyze the main factors that affect their WTC, andexplore some practical and useful strategies for teachers and students to adopt and improvestudents’ WTC and communicative competence. The author took a typical frontier school,Lu xi No.1 senior high school as an example and chose 130 high school students to do aquestionnaire to investigate the current situation of high school students’ WTC in English inclass. Besides, the author conducted a semi-interview of five high school English teachersto get deeper and more concrete information.
