摘要:英语课外活动是英语课堂教学的补充。它在英语教学中起着举足轻重的作用。然而，一些乡村中学的英语教师和学生虽然知道英语课外活动的重要性,但他们在实际的教学和学习中却忽视它的作用。本文随机抽取了腾冲县固东中学初二年级部分学生作为调查样本，并采用问卷和采访的方式调查英语课外活动的开展情况。从数据中可以看出,虽然教师和学生都能够意识到英语课外活动的重要性,但由于种种原因,他们并未从真正意义上把这项活动开展起来。通过分析调查结果，发现固东中学英语课外活动存在活动少、活动枯燥、缺乏资金和一些必要的设备与技巧等问题。针对现状，本文提出了一些相应的解决办法，如提高英语课外活动的数量和质量；得到更多的资金投入和购买必要的设备;提高活动技巧等。
