Postmodernism, as a cultural trend and thought, has a great impact on traditional English teaching concepts. Postmodernism advocates that English teaching should create a good atmosphere of self‐organization of teaching, conduct teaching in equal interaction between teachers and students, pay attention to students' experience and establish a diversified and humanistic evaluation system. Through analyzing the status quo and challenges of English education and introducing William Doll's curriculum theory, this article aims to give implication to our teaching practices. Doll's "4 Rs" theory are richness, recursion, relation, and rigorousness, which shed light on current teaching and the relationship between teacher and students and play an important role in the middle school English teaching evaluation.
