5、is very important about how to make best use of information to develop their own economy. As a kind of international language, the importance of English is very clear. However, in daily life, because of lacking oral practicing, some students cant read correctly and fluently, they cant communicate wi
6、th others in English. Improving students ability of English speaking is very necessary. This text analyzes the importance of oral English and some problems that will meet in oral learning, and introduce some techniques and ways of learning oral English to help students to learn oral English well. Ke
7、y words: English communication; oral practice; spoken learning; oral English Strategies; oral learning skills. IThe Importance and Aim of Spoken English Learning 1.1 The Importance of Spoken English English is an important tool. At present, many students think it is very difficult to learn English.
8、Maybe the time you spend on written English is much more than that of spoken English. Or you are not interested in speaking English, even you want to give it up. In fact, spoken English is a small branch of linguistic which requires suitable circumstances, but many people think their oral English is
9、 not good, because of poor language environment.In the past, English teaching in China put on stress on grammar, and paid little attention to students oral English, as a result, a lot of students couldnt communicate with others in English even after having been given English lessons for several year
10、s, recently, the whole nation is much more enthusiastic to English than before. As is well known, the education department of China has reformed outdated English teaching outline, and attached quite importance to spoken English, for English has become necessity to our social development. With the de
11、velopment of social economy and economic globalization, more and more people agree that communication with other countries is very important and necessary. Yet, English has become world language. So many countries emphasize spoken English and to some degree, fluent oral English will give you superio
12、rity when you are job-hunting.1.2 The Aim of Spoken English Can be Divided into Three Levels 1.2.1 Common Requirement of Oral EnglishStudents should communicate in English in the course of study. Setting a topic, let students talk about it, they should be asked to talk about the topic used in daily
13、life with people in the countries that speak English. They should also require that they could be given a small free talk about the topic, which they are familiar with. They should have correct pronunciation and intonation, and they should use the basic talking strategies.1.2.2 Higher RequirementStu
14、dents should be able to have free conversation with people who are from the English speaking countries, and to command well the conversation strategies, and to express ones proposals、 ideas ,and to state fact、 an event or a reason and so on. Of course, they should express their thoughts clearly and
15、their pronunciation and intonation should be right.1.2.3 The Highest RequirementFor some topics of special fields of study, the students should talk this kind of topics fluently and exactly. They should be able to summarize the long and difficult texts or speech in brief words, and to take part in t
16、he debate in the international meeting and in the experts communications. IIThe Analysis and Present Domestic and Foreign Situation of Spoken LearningSince China entered WTO, learning English has become more and more important for college students. It is very good chance for our country. China has t
17、o communicate with other counties and learn from them. In 2008, the Olympic games will be held in Beijing. Every Chinese should try his best to learn English, for every Chinese should know that. Its Chinese proud, China can show its strength and great confidence now. But in what way does China show
18、its strength and great? Of course, communication! English is an international language, and oral English is the key point of language in communication. So, oral practicing is an urgent thing for everyone in China. English is useful for communicating information.Even among the people who received the
19、ir higher education in China, we can see that they may be able to read and write well, but have limitations in their ability to speak English fluently and clearly. They lack practicing their speaking engaging, and fun contexts. We know Chinese people can learn to speak English well. For example, loo
20、k at those who come to study in the USA they speak really well! So its possible! This philosophy of learning is what I call “learning by doing.” My many years of research as a learning theorist indicate that learners, young and old, cannot really appropriate information and own any new knowledge (in
21、 mathematics, sciences, technology, business, or in language arts) unless they are thoroughly engaged in hands-on activities that are real and personally meaningful to them.We learn a new language best well speaking it. However: not just speaking to ourselves! Language learners, who are interested i
22、n learning to speak the language, must have a native speaker who is listening to them, and responds to what they say in a meaningful and relevant way.In Chinese traditional teaching or study, teaching and learning all focus on grammar, they dont put stress on oral. China has to communicate with othe
23、r countries, so, the notion must be changed into putting stress on spoken English. Just because of this old notion, China has lost a lot, everyone should try his best to change it.Wall Street English is known for its “English Corners” where you can pay to come to speak real English with real people
24、so thats a good feature. I also find Wall Street English uses technology, I mean software. Although I havent tried, I do believe that using technology is important for “Learning by Doing.” If its right, it can contribute greatly to the spoken-language learning process.Nowadays, spoken English practi
25、cing is the question that everyone pays attention to in China. It is known that Chinese characters are very veiled. When they say something, they dont say directly, they are afraid to hurt other people for what they had said. They dont like losing face, because of that, they dont dare to open their
26、mouths, thats the big problem for Chinese! Every Chinese who learns language wants to change this, he should do as Li Yang said in crazy English: “I should lose face!” this is the base of precutting oral English, so you should open your mouth to practice, and dont pay much attention to the rules of
27、grammar. You can see some English films, listen to the English songs, and try to learn their speech Pronunciation and intonation. Of course, at first you should begin from vowels and consents, then phrases, sentence, paragraph and text. You should also practice them day-by-day, if you go on doing th
28、at, you will succeed at last!IIIThe Requirements and Workable Analysis of Spoken EnglishLearningThere are four basic skills in language learning, including speaking、listening、 reading and writing. These four parts cannot be isolated，they integrate with each other. Language learning is a hard work, b
29、ut we must improve our English level. If you have good language gift, you will feel that how important reading is when you are speaking and doing more listening exercises. When you read more books, you can enlarge your vocabulary. You will learn other three skills if you practice more. If you are no
30、t good at learning, they will suggest that listening must begin from speaking. Through listening or communicating, you can practice your ability of oral English and speaking. Between listening and speaking, they are a unit, and they can improve themselves by each other. From speaking, at first, you
31、must imitate correct tone. And then make a short general ideal or retell the contents of the material, at last you can use your own words to describe the contents of the material. For example, you have listened news about American launching a missile to attack on Iraq, you should tell some vocabular
32、y and general idea. For example, you would say like this: last night American launched a missile attacking on Iraq. And no casualties have been reported yet. From oral speaking, you must know how to express this information. Combined with listening to the broadcast, I made a big progress by combinin
33、g the extensive listening and listening. Speaking English fluency is every language learners wish. But many students are very shamed to speak, all of them know that speaking English well is based on losing face, just as teachers says: if someone lose her face at first, he will not lose his face at l
34、ast. When you talk with someone and have kinds of exams, you should often try our best to learn the American or English to speak, using all kinds of medium tools, you would succeed. If you have enough confidence, you can talk with various kinds of people without feeling losing face. In my opinion, o
35、ral speaking is not only doing losing face, talking with other people, but also we must recite or do enough various kinds of exercises, you should combine these two together. At first, you recite a lot of articles, you will find it is very difficult when you talk with foreigners, Dont feel you are v
36、ery useless why my oral English is so bad that even after reciting so many articles? Chatting room is also a good place to practice your oral, you will find that some people may be not have good pronunciation. Then you will find the importance of communication. Only through communication, you can sp
37、eak good English only in communication; you can consolidate the articles you have recited. It is also a way of reciting article, but you must insist on reciting. Before you recite the article, you must read article as loudly as you can, as correctly as you can, so that you can improve your tone or s
38、peed, you can make some sentences, and try to retell short story using your own words. You must learn how to retell, at first, you must describe the contest and express its general idea with one or two sentences. And then, using the sentence of content changes into your own words. After a certain pe
39、riod, your oral English will become more fluency, if you come cross some difficult words, you can look at your content and remember it, you will also find the new words, write down these words and look up dictionary. Retelling is in one way to improve your oral English.Other people choose another sk
40、ills to improve oral English, for example, to make students feel relax, they could be interested in practice spoken English. When practicing oral English , they should have enough content、significance, if they do like that, they will like speaking and want to practice. If you practice your oral Engl
41、ish, you will find something related to your life and experience in dailylife. Encourage people to use their English to solve problems in dailylife. Invite some foreigners to take part in some activities, change the classroom into small social occasion. Encourage people to keep in touch with each ot
42、her to make discuss into real content. People should practice oral English by their own words, dont worry about make mistakes, you should express ideas or talk with others in confidence. When you practice language, you should make sure language is worth communicating, let students learn something fr
43、om practice. When we learn oral language, we should get involved in an oral communicative activity to do some writing or reading or listening in order to accomplish the task which the activity asks them to perform, just as Harmer points out,“there are cases where individual skills may be treated ind
44、ividually, the principle of integration is thought to be important.”Many people will ask: “what can I communicate if I dont find a partner”? Yes, this is the fact, but one approach is to communicate with yourself, that is just trying to make use of yourself, and your English level with yourself is t
45、he same, you just treat your English name as another one, and think out an English topic to communicate. At first, you can say anything as you like, the key point is paying attention to the feeling of oral prating, and you can make your dialogue more logical. And maybe one is speaking very exaggerat
46、edly, that could make you feel unnatural and uncomfortable, you will fell very uncomfortable at first because of the influence of Chinese. If you are alone in classroom, you can express your feeling exaggeratedly, and then you can overcome this difficulty. What I want to say is working hard is more
47、important than any kind of skills and methods, every language learner should insist on practicing, and this is the most important.3.1 The Key Problems That Students will Meet In China, more and more people are studying English. About 350 million people per year! But a lot of people still cannot spea
48、k English well. What do you think the key problem is?In order to learn how to speak, a person needs to practice speaking on a regular basis. Most Chinese English-learners do not practice speaking often enough. They have no good contexts for doing that. Learning to read and write can be helpful in the English language learning process,
