Analysis of the factors affecting effective teaching in GUET Vocational College After doing research， using the exper

12、ience of other research achievements for reference， and combining with the survey results， the author finds that there are many factors leading to low effective English teaching in GUET Vocational College. 1. Factors of teachers English teachers are organizers of teaching activities， and practitione

13、rs of teaching methods. Teachers qualities and accomplishments are key points to motivating college English teaching levels. The author found out that there are some problems which exist in the English teachers which would bring negative effects to English teaching in GUET Vocational College. They a

14、re teaching faculty， structure of teachers， qualification of teachers， and teaching concepts. The Basic Conditions for Ordinary Universities /Colleges makes one standard requirement is that the student-faculty ratio should not exceed 18 to 1. There are almost 2，500 freshmen in 2015， while there are

15、only 12 full-time English teachers. Concerning professional titles， there are only one associate professor， four lecturers， and seven teaching assistants. Teachers teaching concepts refers to the teachers systematic and essential understanding of teaching activity. It is not a student-oriented conce

16、pt if English teachers ignore students interests， English ability and their study goals， carry out the unified teaching syllabus unquestioningly， use the unified textbooks， and evaluate English teaching only by the final examination English tests. 2. Factors of textbooks Books are carriers of knowle

17、dge. Textbooks are the basis for teaching. Textbooks are instruments for fulfilling teaching objectives. Teaching results are affected by the quality of the textbooks， as well as students suitability to the textbooks. What students ask for is some professional English knowledge related to their majo

18、rs. Obviously， it is unreasonable for different quality students from different majors to use the same textbooks. 3. Factors of the evaluation system Teaching evaluation is an important part of college English teaching in higher vocational colleges. In order to fulfill teaching objectives， a college

19、 should have an all-sided， objective， scientific， precise evaluation system. The evaluation system for English learning in GUET Vocational College mainly consists of two parts， one is daily performance which takes 30 percents of the final total grade， and the other one is final exam result which tak

20、es 70 percents. This kind of evaluation system does not show students real English knowledge and their applied English abilities objectively. Suggestions for effective English teaching 1. The improvement of teachers quality Teachers professional quality is the basic quality requirement for those who

21、 work as teachers. Students quality depends on the teachers quality. The author believes that， in order to improve the English teachers professional quality， we should focus on three aspects， building a contingent of “double-qualified” teacher， changing teachers teaching concepts， and recruiting hig

22、hly-qualified English talents. “Double-qualified” teacher refers to a teacher who has achieved Teacher Certification and Vocational Qualification at the same time. “Double-qualified” teachers have compounded talents and have both educational teaching ability and work experience. Teaching concepts ar

23、e teachers rational conclusions by reflecting teaching practice. Teachers teaching judgments and teachers teaching anticipation are influenced by teaching concepts. The teaching faculty in GUET Vocational College is not enough. It is a good way to improve English teachers professional quality by rec

24、ruiting highly-qualified English talents. 2. Producing reasonable class teaching Reasonable teaching means both teachers and students should obey objective teaching rules， making the best of limited class time to finish teaching contents and fulfill teaching objectives. Firstly， English teachers sho

25、uld do good preparation before class. A good preparation for classes is the precondition and the basis for effective teaching. Secondly， produce distinctive school-based English textbooks. By considering both the students majors and their future work positions， English teachers could produce practic

26、al school-based English textbooks base on students English foundations. Thirdly， use suitable teaching methods. Teaching method is an umbrella name for ways or means teachers use during teaching activities， by which teachers and students work together to fulfill teaching objectives and finish teachi

27、ng tasks. 3. Evaluation system As a unique subject， English teaching in vocational college must focus on teaching students language knowledge； equally important is training students practical English skills. Based on Constructivism Learning Theory， the author puts forward that an effective English c

28、lass should consist of the following six parts. First， students participate in the class actively and enthusiastically. Second， there should be effective interactions， not only between students and teacher， but also between students and students. Third， students learning materials， study time and le

29、arning space should be fully guaranteed. Fourth， students form an actual understanding about the knowledge. Fifth， students self-monitoring ability and reflective ability should be enhanced during the class. Sixth， students gain positive emotional experience during the class. The evaluation formula

30、for final grades could be： final grade = daily performance + final examination ， while daily performance = attendance + class performance + homework + learning attitude + unit tests ， and final examination=oral English test + final test . Conclusion To conclude， English teaching in vocational colleg

31、e is a very important part for higher education. There would be specific requirements for English teaching in different stages of development， different districts， and different colleges. Therefore， how to improve effective English teaching in vocational colleges is a problem for English teachers wh
