Teaching the Four Skills in Iranian Pre-University Schools

Abstract

Teaching English as a foreign is one of the most important subjects in education. The main purpose of the present study was to provide some guides that can be useful for language teachers who teach English as foreign language in pre-university in Iran. Using these guides helps them to create the useful methods for teaching that are different from traditional methods. Today most Iranian teachers who teach English in pre-university level don’t pay attention to the correct pronunciation, in some cases, they only focus on teaching grammar without paying attention to the purpose of learning language in this level. So some students, after coming to the university have problems with English as a foreign language, hi this study, we are going to solve these problems. Our statistical society was 200 students who studied in pre-university in Kermanshah. They were selected through Simple Random sampling. After using our new guides for teaching, ANOVA (direct analyze variance) test was used to compare these200 students’ scores with another students that their teacher used traditional methods. As a result of this research the scores of students using the new guides were higher than another group who were taught through traditional method. It is recommended that teacher specially teachers who teach in high school and pre-university should update their methods of teaching.
