3.2 Observation of the Teachers
The teacher mainly adopts" the teacher speak, students listen" way of teaching. The teacher is the leader of the classroom while the students just play the role of the audience. In the observation section of the English class, there are seven lessons teaching lesson on vocabulary, grammar, writing and test analysis. There is only one teacher teaching in the form of group discussion. By observation, we found that teachers give priority to knowledge, especially the rules of grammar and vocabulary. Moreover, the English teaching task is very single. Students rarely have the opportunity to speak in class. After a long period of silence, this part of the students gradually loses interest in answering questions, choosing to keep quiet. This formulation of feedback is easily taken for granted, rather than inspires students to polish their ability of participation.
3.3 Observation of the Students
Through the actual classroom observation, the main part of the students in the classroom did not play the role as we have expected before. On the contrary, students lowered their heads with embarrassment, avoided eye contact with the teacher. Responses to different teaching activities were also various. Students usually had a more sufficient degree of participation and wonderful speech and original views if the topic catered to their appetite. However, if it was about grammar or interpretation, the students' willing to participate appeared to be very reluctant. In the meantime, an important characteristic of marginal men in terms of cognition and emotion emerged. Their working process was incomplete because they had no information output - even if they know that the answer to the question, they often choose to keep silent. Lack of opportunity in the interaction between teachers and students will gradually suppress students’ initiative, and put them in the position of being ignored or even being despised. In the long run, it will jam their communication channel; distort their true feelings, especially for introverted and timid students. Marginal people have much in common in general but they also have difference. First, in terms of gender differences, boys possess more obvious traits than girls. Second, the reasons are various as well: some for poor academic performance, some for low interest in learning and lack of learning motivation towards learning English, some for bad study habits, others for introversion and self-esteem issues.
