Abstract:It is very common today that most teachers adopt phonics skills to teach vocabulary, some even directly read new words for students, and then students follow. After class students can learn new words with the help of audios or videos. However, after a questionnaire and interview in two schools which were in the town of Suining and Guang’an, the author found that phonics is suit for schools that are in cities or areas with high educational conditions. Yet in country or towns, there is little access to high educational technology. And students can benefit little from these supportive tools, then phonics works inefficiently on them, as a result of this, many students can’t learn new vocabulary by themselves. So the author put out two questions:Will phonetic symbol help these students more than phonics? If it is necessary to teach phonetic symbol, can relating phonetic symbol to Chinese Pinyin contributes to the teaching of phonetic symbol? In this thesis the author conducted a survey and experiment aiming to prove the hypothesis.
Key words:Junior English in town and country, Chinese Pinyin.
