摘 要

英语作为联系国与国之间的重要沟通方式，在政治、经济、文化等方面发挥着重大的作用。我国对英语的重视使得英语课程教学从初中提前至小学三年级。同时，校外英语辅导机构林立而起，课外辅导热高温不退，主要形式为校外辅导班和家教等（此文统称为课外辅导）。英语课外辅导已经逐步成了学生英语学习的第二课堂。家长选择的盲目性，以及英语课外辅导市场的混乱性，更使得英语课外辅导对学生英语学习和正规学校英语教学产生了很大的负面影响。

本文将通过实证调查，从师资水平、教材选用、教学内容以及教学方法四个方面分析当前英语课堂教学与英语课外辅导的现状，探讨英语辅导热的原因以及课外辅导对中学生英语学习的影响，目的是充分体现其作为“影子教育”的作用， 使学校、家长、学生对课外辅导有正确的认识。

Rapid development of economic will in turn raise the level of the national education. However, the development of education must go through a lot of difficulties, especially the development of English education.

The discipline of English is not equal to the status of Chinese and Mathematics in the primary school curriculum before 2001. At the same time, there are some problems among schools that can’t be solved at once, such as the equipment of teaching facilities, the level of the teaching staff as well as the improvement of the teaching level and so on. As a result, parents and students begin to seek remedial education outside school in order to get a better education.

With the changes of the society and the rising of the social demands, students begin to restrain themselves with higher standard; as a result, they have a strong desire for knowledge, especially English, which increases the proportion of investment in education. Besides, with the changes of National Matriculation English Test paper, English tests have gradually focused on the ability of language using rather than language knowledge, so the core of learning English have changed at the same time, which has led to the emergence of more private tutoring, aiming at meeting the the needs of most students and new change.
