Abstract

This study investigates the status quo of English classroom teaching language in primary schools in Northern Guangdong, China, and analyzes its impact on students’ English learning and classroom teaching quality. Through questionnaires, classroom observations, interviews, and other methods, the study finds that the use of classroom teaching language relies too heavily on direct instruction, lacks specificity in guidance, and is limited in variety. The study recommends balancing direct and indirect instructions in primary school English classes, enhancing the specificity of classroom guidance, diversifying the forms of guidance, maximizing the effectiveness of classroom direction to promote teaching quality, and foster a positive classroom atmosphere.
