Abstract

English is a linguistic subject. The key point of English teaching lies in cultivating students' English literacy and improving their abilities of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Due to the teaching requirements and characteristics of linguistic disciplines, English teachers' discourse in class has an important impact on the quality of English teaching. The discourse used by English teachers in the classroom plays an important role in organizing teaching, and it is also an important language input for students. In the classroom, students' direct contact with English is the language of English teachers. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the authenticity of English teachers' discourse in the classroom. The authenticity of teachers' discourse in English class is conducive to bringing students into English situations, making students speak English more realistic and natural, and stimulating students' English learning ability. This paper mainly discusses how to increase the authenticity of teachers' discourse in English class and the effect of authenticity of teachers' discourse in English class on students' English learning. The authenticity of teachers' discourse in English class can be examined from three perspectives, that is, situational authenticity, linguistic authenticity and content authenticity.
