摘 要： 教师的基本职业主要限于阐明事理和传授知识，监督学生，师生之间是直接的传递和
接受关系，师生关系的单一性与教师角色的单一性之间是一致的。然而在当代，虽然教师作为文化传承的执行者的基本职能并没有改变，但他却不再像以往那样直接以权威的身份授予学生以学习的经验，而是通过更加间接的方式实现文化传递的职能，他往往以各种方式调动和引导学生参与活动，引导学生在经过精心设计的情境中进行探索，师生之间已不再是单一的授受关系，同时可能是同伴关系，组织者与参与者的关系，以及帮助参与被帮助的关系等，教师的角色也相应地向多重性变化。

Abstract: The basic occupation of a teacher was limited to clarify the matter and
inspect students. The relationship between teachers and students is the one between delivers and the acceptors; and the oneness of teachers’ role is consistent. However, although function of teachers as the role of performance that spreads culture does not change, he no longer gives knowledge to the students by direct authority, but in the more direct way to carry out delivery of the culture. He usually motivates and guides students to participate activities in various ways, guides students to explore the questions in meticulously designed environment. Teachers and students are no longer likely to be companion relationship between the organizers and the participants.

Ⅰ.Introduction
Teachers must be aware of the challenges that they are facing. They must know that they live in an age with information explosion almost everyday. They should know that their students are different from what they used to be, because new technologies make the students have easy access to what is happening in this world and messages hit them from all sides. Moral questions raised by the new life style have to be worked out, not by just giving a simple Yes or No answer. Thus, many factors, which used to be irrelevant to classroom teachers, now, have to be considered by them. Teachers have to change in order to suit the new situation. Thus, it is necessary to discuss the question of teachers' role in China.
Generally speaking, the teacher's role has changed from the \of knowledge, skills and culture, being a model” to that of \and manager of learning in the classroom and beyond, counselor, innovator, developer, researcher, etc.” (Chen, 1993) and this definitely includes English teachers in China because we all know that teachers play a key role in education as well as in society, since they shape the thoughts and mold the character of future generations. So, in this transition era, what the teachers' role will be and what they should do in order to play their role well become questions that all teachers should ask and be able to answer.
But currently, the picture of education in China is not that rosy, for most teachers in China are still playing a role in somewhat the traditional sense. They are supposed to know everything. No good students should challenge their teachers. Teachers motivate the emotion when they lecture. I would think this is why we seldom see learner-centered approaches being adopted in our classes. While these problems exist in some cases, it is also encouraging that some teachers have already realized that this kind of teaching does not enrich knowledge of the students and would not enlarge students' scope; the students are calling for solutions to these problems. As an English language teacher, we have been pondering on the new role of English Language Teaching. It is the reason why I written this paper.
Ⅱ Research reasons
For a long time, when teachers educate students, they all use a simple method to instill into knowledge, teachers played a dignified role to command what students can do and what not do. Students have no their own idea to think, in a word, a teacher is teacher, a student is student. There is not advantage for students to develop their ability they also

cannot temper themselves, and gradually students loose their creative and imaginative power. So, a teacher should not only be a teacher to his students, but a friend, they should make a good relationship with students and solve problems with them. For the most time, teachers should let students discover and solve problems by themselves.
As a language subject, the final purpose of English teaching is to cultivate students’ competence of using English. So communication is the main activity in English class. But in traditional English teaching, students’ learning is only based on the output from teachers, the input to students and their interaction. Communication is almost impossible under such circumstances. Even if there is so-called communication, it is always prearranged and meaningless.
As a Middle school English teacher, you must know clearly what role you play in the teaching. It’s a duty to make sure how to play a role in English teaching, because when you know the role you play in teaching, then you can have an explicit way of thinking to teach your students in the teaching and guiding your students; also only when you explicit your own role, then you can teach the students well. As a teacher-training English major students, we’ll be a teacher in future, it is a duty to make sure how to play a role in English teaching, no matter you are teacher or you’ll be teacher, you should do and require yourselves as a teacher, only doing like this, can you help finish the duty of a teacher. It’s just the reason I write this paper.
Through this paper, I want to discuss in brief as a Middle school teacher how to play roles in English teaching, how to consider these roles and how to carry out. Moreover, through the treatise in the text to inspire how to consider the problem concerning teacher’s role, and to find the shortage of teacher’s role nowadays. These are not only the contents of my thesis, but also the purpose that I write the thesis.
How to regard the role of a teacher playing in the classroom teaching is the key to check and supervise teacher’s teaching and the teaching behavior. According to traditional idea, teacher was often compared as “gardener”, “the engineer of mankind’s soul”, “stairs”, “and candle” by the people. Also it thought that teacher is “teach-book-smith”, “child’s king”, “cat”, “and police”. Etc., all these separable images emerged the people’s different comprehension vividly. But, these different comprehensions also make people feel perplexed. What is the teacher’s role actually in the classroom teaching? There is dissimilarity nation in different ages to the educators, which is always investigated and considered.
Therefore, it is necessary for us to inquiry into what is the teacher’s role in teaching. This is actually a very meaningful study on education. To clear up this problem, it is not
