In such case, it will give a quick response when training students listening comprehension and speaking ,while Will avoid such phenomenon that the students feel English so boring that they do not want to learn. According to my experience, I can give several views for us to discuss.1. Body language and gesture For beginners, at first, it is very difficult to understand what the teacher said. The teacher can do some actions while explain the words .For instance, smiling, showing angry look, opening the door and cleaning the windows, etc. The students concentrate on the actions and listen carefully, then will give a quick response by the indication of the teachers gesture or body language. 2. Objects and flashcards Think of a common objects with which everyone in the class is familiar (for example,pens,books,bags) ask the class to tell what it is in Chinese while showing them, then teach them in English and repeat them together for several times.

The students will practice the role playing wonderfully when they act the dialogue on their own initiative.4.Multimedia and auto visual system With the CAL developing ,there are many soft wares for us to teach language.The teacher use the audio-visual system,to put the students into English world and let them know about geography ,customs, traditions, social habits ,values,beliefs and language of society.
