数字化时代知识的转型、学习方式的改变、教学媒介的更新及教学资源的拓展，呼唤中小学英语教学方式的变革。变革的关键在于：关注英语学习主体的需求、利用数字化资源、创建信息化教学环境、构建开放的交流平台，并践行“以‘工具性’和‘人文性’双向并重的课程为旨向、以‘主导’和‘主体’互为促进的交流合作为动力、以‘传统化’和‘数字化’互为补充的呈现方式为根本、以‘教材资源’和‘数字化资源’相互交融的教学内容为载体”的策略，以推动中小学英语课堂教学方式的转变。

 It is a necessity to renovate the English teaching as the concepts of knowledge have been redefined, the ways of learning have been diversified, the media of instruction have been updated and the teaching resources have been extended in the era of digitization. This is true with English classroom teaching in the primary or junior school. We propose that it would be efficient to bring forward the transformation from the stereotype of exam-oriented English teaching into the autonomous learning-based model of language instruction by means of catering for the needs of learners, exploiting the digital resources, creating the IT-based teaching context and building the open-ended platform of resource sharing. These means embody the English curriculum values of instrumentality and humanity. They are employed to integrate the traditional teaching methods into the modern ones and combine the English textbooks with the digitized knowledge in order to optimize the teachers’ instruction and the learner’s autonomy in the context of English classroom teaching in the Primary and Junior schools.
