Uses of Chinese in the English Classroom -------Introducing the "Functional-Translation" Method ä¸ÂæÂÂå¨课å Âä¸ÂçÂÂ使ç¨ ----ä»Âç»Â"Ã¥ÂÂè½-ç¿»è¯Â"æÂÂå¦泠Abstract The assumption that the "English-only", direct method can be applied equally well to any size and type of class and any level or content of language learning is simply false.The fundamental cause of the failure of English-only method , in my opinion, is its misapplication in learning situations where it simply don't belong.Combining the best of the "grammar-translation" method with the best of "communicative" method , a new and more efficient method will born , the "functional-translation" method . This method allows the student to use his first language to support his communication in the second language and develop his fluency.
