Summary
Because of the university enrollment expansion, there have been great changes in the number of students compared to decade years ago. Even for the students of the same class, it is hard to achieve unity in learning progress. The traditional teaching method which considers all the students the same is unable to meet the needs of the current education requirement. Students with relatively good English basis will feel easy and lose enthusiasm as a result while students with poor English foundation will feel too difficult and lose confidence of learning. To deal with this situation, graded teaching pattern comes into being (Dai, 2015).
