In 2001, as the new National English Curriculum requires that English should be taugh
9、t from Grade 3 in primary schools, a new type of primary school English teachers named “transferred teachers” came into being. Transferred teachers are those non-English-major primary school teachers who shift to teach English after graduation from a training program called “In-service Training for
10、Transferred Teachers”. By far, these teachers have been teaching English for over four years, but there have been few follow-up researches on their pronunciation up till now. The present study investigates on the pronunciation of transferred teachers concerning consonants and vowels. The goal is to
11、find out whether these teachers, who have received only 3-week compulsory residential training and a year long optional school-based training, are making progress and competent for elementary English teaching. As time was limited, six transferred teachers were chosen as our subjects. The study was c
12、arried out on the basis of the analysis of the errors on the recorded material of the English utterance borne out by these transferred teachers.

19、oundThe recent societal trends outline new educational aims designed to create the highly skilled teachers necessary for the 21st century. In such a new phase of education, fruitful teaching outcome is based largely on new teaching skills, which come from frequent teaching reflection and belief rene
20、wal. As a matter of fact, teachers beliefs tend to affect everything they do in the classroom, no matter implicit or explicit. Furthermore, teachers articulated beliefs is one thing, and how they apply them in actual teaching is another thing.1.2 Significance of the Empirical StudyAs education promo
21、tion is inevitable in the new phase of education, the best way to promote teaching outcome is to get feedback from teachers and learners and refine teachers beliefs and teaching behavior. Judd (1981) and Wade (2002) put forward applicable methodology for education improvement based on substantial su
22、rveys. Pate et al (1997) consider establishing an integrated, coherent curriculum as their ultimate aim of researches.Many other experts have also endowed great significance to these sorts of research (Floden Pajares 1992). And Breen et al (2001) suggests that these researches could be seen as a mea
23、ns to exploring language teaching. In fact, these empirical studies can help to refine teacher beliefs and teaching behavior as well. Mann (2005) addresses that teachers develop by collecting data and reflecting.1.3 Purpose of the Present StudyTeachers beliefs and teaching behavior have been studied
24、 widely in the last decade (Pajares 1992; Smith 1997; Breen et al 2001; Nunan 2001; Wade 2002; Burns 2005). However, only a few qualitative studies about teachers beliefs have been carried out throughout China, let alone in Guangdong Province. Therefore, there is a gap in this body of qualitative re
25、search on teachers beliefs in different areas of GD since the implementation of the New Curriculum. The present study is attempting to help fill that gap. Furthermore, many of the prior researches were carried out on relatively small samples, Woods (1996) made a study of 8 teachers, Wang (2002) targ
26、eted at 3 teachers, Zheng Woods 1996; Smith 1997; Breen et al 2001; Borg 2003; Burns 2005).Chinese researchers have begun to set about studying teachers beliefs and teaching behavior in recent years (Wang 2002; Xia 2002; Sun 2005; Lou Offering various options, catering for personal needs;Optimizing
27、the learning model, enhancing self-directed learning competence;Concerning with students emotion, enhancing cultural awareness;Promoting the assessment system, encouraging continuous development.（cited from Senior English Curriculum 2003:2-3）As a matter of fact, such beliefs were raised to meet the
28、new demands of our society, to meet the new learning needs of our students. On condition that teachers beliefs and teaching were consistent with the New Curriculum, fruitful teaching outcome would be yielded. However, the questions are: Whats the status quo of teachers beliefs? Do they behave in acc
29、ordance with their articulated beliefs? And what do the teachers usually take into account in teaching? To find out all the corresponding answers, the author carried out a survey of teachers beliefs and teaching behavior in GD Province.5Chapter Three MethodThe survey consisted of 3 instruments: a te
30、acher questionnaire developed by the author (consisted of three sections: Section One-personal data and experience, etc; Section Two-a 25 item teacher belief section based on the 5 guidelines of the New Curriculum in senior high published by the Ministry of Education (Item 15 on Belief 1, Item 6-10
31、on Belief 2, and the rest may be deduced by analogy); Section Three-2 open questions about teachers beliefs and teacher concern) (See Appendix 1); an observation log (comprising general information and a 10-period classroom observation log (See Appendix 2); an interview outline (See Appendix 3).A pi
32、lot study was conducted in one Type B school from Guangzhou in early September 2005. Based on the feedback from the pilot study, the author made revisions in the survey instruments. 3.1 The Participants10 schools from 5 of the cities in GD Province participated in this study. The participants were c
33、arefully chosen: the capital city of GD-Guangzhou (广州), two peripheral cities-Foshan (佛山) and Nanhai (南海), two relatively remote cities-Puning (普宁 ) and Shantou (汕头), respectively. 10 researchers divided the 10 schools among them during their teaching practices. However, only 8 schools data were int
34、act and possible for analysis. Altogether, there were 27 teachers from these 8 schools.Table 1 summarizes the characteristics of all the subject teachers. 18 worked in Grade One, and 9 worked in Grade Two. There were 17 female and 10 male teachers. The teachers had varying degrees of general teachin
35、g experience ranging from 1 to 43 years. The average teaching experience across the sample was 12.7 years. Among them, 26 teachers had received the New Curriculum training. Table 1.

Consequently, the following results and discussions were based on 6 sch
37、ools.63.2 Procedures3.2.1 The Teacher Questionnaire SurveyFirstly, the researchers invited the teachers to fill in the Teacher Questionnaire (TQ) and fixed a time with the teachers for classroom observation. Teachers filled in the general information and indicated the level of endorsement of each of
38、 the 25 items using a 5-point Likert-type scale comprising the categories “strongly disagree,” “disagree,” “somewhat disagree, somewhat agree,” “agree,” and “strongly agree,” scored as 1 through 5, respectively; then they responded to the 2 open questions concerning with teachers opinions and sugges
39、tions of the New Curriculum (see Table 2). Table 2. The 2 Open Questions in the Teacher QuestionnairePlease write down your opinions and suggestions of the New Curriculum1. The most obvious changes 2. The most urgent problems to be solved As is shown in Table 2, Question 1 tells whether teachers hav
40、e noticed the most obvious changes of the curriculum. And Question 2 enables the author to perceive the teachers most concern, which would serve as a basis to find out whether teachers adopted particular teaching strategies to enhance their students weak point, since they have noticed where the prob
41、lems lied.3.2.2 Classroom Observation As there may exist a discrepancy between teachers beliefs and behavior, and apart from this, teachers may overstate or understate the beliefs underlying their actual practice. Therefore, whether teachers teach in accordance with their beliefs can only be reveale
42、d from the observation of practical teaching. Hence, the second data collection method was based upon a substantial classroom observation log. The researchers recorded 10 periods of English classes of every subject school. The 10 English classes were not specifically chosen, but observed at random,
43、generating a thorough and objective data. The observation focused on 7classroom activities, multimedia applied, textbook dealt, assessment forms, and optional courses, etc.3.2.3 The InterviewIn order to comprehend more about how teachers beliefs guide their behavior, and what teachers usually take i
44、nto account in their teaching, face-to-face interviews were added, and the interview with teachers was semi-structured. Table 3 shows the outline of the interview.Table 3. Outline of the Semi-structure InterviewInterview Subject: Senior High English Teachers in Guangzhou How do you usually design a
45、lesson? And what about activities? How do you like the present textbook? And how do you apply it? Do you think it is necessary for students to enhance their cultural awareness? How do you help your students enlarge their scope of background knowledge?The author arranged interviews with 12 Senior One
46、 English teachers from 6 schools (Comprising Type A, Type B and Type C schools) in GZ, 2 teachers from every subject school participated in the interview. The interviews were recorded implicitly by mp3, and were transcribed into written language later.3.2.4 Data AnalysisAll data were analyzed using
47、the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS)，release 10.0 and Microsoft Excel, release 2003.Mean and standard deviation of the TQ were analyzed by using Descriptives; histograms were generated by using Excel to illustrate the results more plainly. And within-group differences of 25 teachers
48、beliefs of the 6 subject schools were analyzed by using One-way ANOVA.8Chapter Four Results and DiscussionAfter all the data were collected, the author began to arrange the data and analyze them. Firstly, the author sorted out all the received questionnaires. And found out the valid percent of the T
49、Q was 100%. Table 4 indicates the general information of the questionnaires obtained from the 6 schools. Table 4.
