Abstract:

With the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy proposed, more and more studies are focusing on English education in rural elementary and secondary schools. According to the present study, three main aspects of the current problems have been found, namely, society, schools, and teachers. The social level is mainly due to the macroscopic policy and the uneven distribution of resources, leading to the uneven education quality in a large area. At the school level, due to the limited conditions in rural areas, teachers are treated relatively poorly in the same occupation level. The schools themselves have inadequate hardware facilities and outdated multimedia equipment, leading to a decline in the quality of education. The third aspect is the teachers themselves, and the choice of teaching methods plays a crucial factor in the quality of education. Therefore, combining with the previous literature on education research in Sichuan and Chongqing, the author proposes supplementary comments to make it more available. This paper aims to make valuable suggestions for the standard of teaching in rural schools, promoting the balance of national education systems, and narrowing the gap in education quality.
