A Study on the Teaching Methods of Improving Students' Oral English

Nowadays, with the development of the international relationship among countries, learning English, especially the oral English is playing a more and more important role in the world. After China's entry into the WTO, China has paid more attention to the oral English teaching in some colleges, which is not only the need of current quality education but also a revolution of the foreign language teaching. How to help undergraduates to improve their oral English becomes a big challenge in China. As we know, language is a significant communication tool for all the people. However, there are still some problems today about the oral English. This thesis will discuss some main factors affecting oral English, followed by exposing some factors including the lack of context, cultural factors, and language anxiety and so on. Then some necessary countermeasures of improving oral English will be put forward, which includes the methods of strengthening the teaching of English listening and speaking, the imitation, the repetition and the teaching environment. More importantly, it is necessary for students to find out disadvantages of oral English in time and then correct them quickly. Only in this way, students who are learning oral English can learn it well so that they can communicate to foreigners fluently.
