摘要：
The teaching methods that have a great influence on foreign language in China are:Grammar Translation Method,the Direct Method,Audiolingual Method,and the Communicative Approach.China has not yet had its own complete set of foreign language teaching system and the introduction and promotion of various teaching methods is not combined with the national conditions.When a teaching method is popular,other teaching methods are extremely rejected.Thus,China does not have a set of foreign language teaching theories with Chinese characteristics,theoretical innovation,and practical effectiveness.In the author’s opinion,to some extent,all theories,methods,and teaching techniques of SLA are relatively effective.However,all are incomplete and insufficient.The author has been thinking whether we can combine all theories and methods in an integrated way;thus we are possibly approaching to eclecticism.The key point to eclecticism is not to go to extremes,draw the benefits of established methods,and flexibly adopt various methods according to the specific situations to cultivate listening,speaking,reading,and writing skills.The author has surveyed the application of an eclectic approach suitable for Chinese learners.It would be helpful to Chinese learners.It is not contradictory to theory.On the contrary we need seek cooperation with theorists to work out a theoretical and practical approach.The research methods of this paper are inductive,deductive,critical,and analytical ones,specifically,methods of experience and literature review,critical perspectives,and analytical suggestions.The conclusion of this paper is the understanding of eclecticism in some aspects.
