摘要 As is universally acknowledged,educators have endeavored for ages to seek the more effective teaching method.Then action research has become a tool which is frequently applied to the teaching practice aiming to locate the teaching mode satisfactory to both teachers and students.The English majors are required to pass the TEM-4 exam when they are sophomores.It is essential for them to acquire the effective learning skills from reading classes.But it seems that vocabulary and grammar study—so called the traditional teaching method prove boring to students.Therefore,the tapestry approach is put forward.But the question is though the tapestry approach stimulates students’interest,can it can improve their English level?In order to figure out the result,two classes will be chosen in this research—one is controlled class,the other is experimental class.The traditional teaching method and the tapestry approach will be used in these two classes respectively.The experiment will last one semester.The students will be tested on two same TEM-4 papers at the beginning and at the end of the semester.The data will be collected for comparison.If the experimental class get the higher scores in the TEM-4 paper,it demonstrates that the tapestry approach is successful in balancing the need for interests and the need for English improvement. As is universally acknowledged, educators have endeavored for ages to seek the more effective teaching method. Then action research has become a tool which is frequently applied to the teaching practice aiming to locate the teaching mode satisfactory to both teachers and students. The English majors are required to pass the TEM-4 exam when they are sophomores. It is essential for them to acquire the effective learning skills from reading classes. But it seems that vocabulary and grammar study—so called the traditional teaching method prove boring to students. Therefore, the tapestry approach is put forward. But the question is though the tapestry approach stimulates students' interest, can it can improve their English level? In order to figure out the result, two classes will be chosen in this research—one is controlled class, the other is experimental class. The traditional teaching method and the tapestry approach will be used in these two classes respectively. The experiment will last one semester. The students will be tested on two same TEM-4 papers at the beginning and at the end of the semester. The data will be collected for comparison. If the experimental class get the higher scores in the TEM-4 paper, it demonstrates that the tapestry approach is successful in balancing the need for interests and the need for English improvement.
