2、为重要的是提高英语口语交际能力。在实际生活中，更多学生学的是“哑巴英语”，而且部分学生英语发音带有浓重的地方口音。英语广泛影响着我们的生活。如何提高英语口语，说一口流利和纯正的英语已成了一大问题。对于就业和升学压力越来越大的大学生来说，具有较高的英语水平无疑会为大学生求职、升学增加一个重要的砝码。为了改善这种情况，教师在英语教学中应充分发挥其主观能动性，努力提高自己的英语口语对话水平，把培养学生的口语能力作为教学的首要任务。在提高学生英语口语能力方面，教师的教学方法起着极为重要的作用，英语教师只有掌握了一定的教学技能和提高学生英语口语能力的正确策略，才能真正帮助学生切实提高口语表达能力。同时学

Nowadays, for university students, learning English is not just only to pass the CET4 and CET6, it is more important to improve the oral English communication skills. In real life, most

5、students learn dumb English, and some students pronunce English with a strong local accent.English influence our lives widely. How to improve our spoken English to be fluent and native becomes a big problem. To improve this situation, English teachers should give all their efforts to their initiativ

6、e, striving to improve their English level of dialogue. What is more, the students spoken language ability should be the primary task of teaching. At the same time, students must cooperate with the teachers actively, using their brains and mouths more to gain fluent English.Key words: English learni

As an international language English is an important tool to communicate w

11、ith different people in different countries. With developing of the modern society, and the improvement of transportation and communication tools, the world has become a global village in the 21st Century. There is no doubt that English is one of the worlds most widely used languages. People use a l

12、anguage in one of three ways: as a native language, as a second language, or as a foreign language. People study oral English so as to make oral communications, so this order of importance of oral English study should be followed: Fluency, Accuracy, and Appropriateness. That is to say, we have to pa

13、y more attention to practical communicating ability instead of only laying emphasis on the grammatical correctness. Paying more attention to phrases and small words as one major shortcoming of Chinese English (especially Chinese oral English) is that Chinese students tend to use big words in their o

14、ral language, but the idiomatic oral English is abundant with short, active and vivid phrases. And most of such phrases are made of small words. Oral English has its own features, but it is closely combined with other aspects of English, for example, writing and reading may make oral English precise

15、 and accurate.I have not so many chances to practice my oral English in my class so that I should create the environment of learning English by myself. Sometimes I read a novel, after the read I will make a dialogue, although it is really weird. Certainly, I am not crazy about doing that. It is only

16、 at some spare time or boring time that I will practice what I mentioned above. I do not belong to that kind of person who is not taking others opinion into consideration, so I wont speak out in English when there are many people around me just for practicing.At pressure time, reading wonderful nove

17、ls and some beautiful expressions, sentences structures, and learn from peoples different views toward life is a good method , sometimes reading some not-so-well-written articles not only because we can try our best to find the mistakes which are made in the article. At the same time, we also can ma

18、ke sure that we wont make the same mistakes in the future, also because we can gain some very particular viewpoints toward the society and diverse experience of peoples life. Color words contain a lot of deep meanings, implies a different ethnic feelings. If we take into account the impact of cultur

19、al differences, we will have a better understanding of the implicit meaning of color words. The significance of this thesis is to enable us have a proper way to face with the color words, in order to enhance communication skills and avoid conflict of different cultures.2 The Significance of Oral Eng

20、lishMaybe people dont know other languages, but it is said that English has become the language of international trade and transport. If you know English, you can travel all around the world. Many people traveling from one country to another use English to talk with others. A lot of ships on the oce

21、ans call for help by radio in it. According to the recent report, about 60 percent of the worlds radio broad casts and 70 percent of the worlds mail use English. At international sports meets, English is the language most commonly used and the most widely used. With the ability of listening, speakin

22、g, reading and writing, speaking is the most practical and useful method which one tends to be the weakest one of the majority of English learners. Because the time is limited, learning English at school, either to the students or to other social groups, the improvement of oral English is close-link

23、ed to daily life. Apart from theoretical knowledge, English learners should put emphasis on the oral training under the lead of the system. The social need of English language professionals increase greatly. Therefore, how to improve oral English seems to be a big problem that learners need to addre

24、ss.2.1 English generally impacts our lifeWith the developing of society, we can see the English words everywhere. Whenever we go there are a lot of billboards are wrote in English. Foe example, we can see the toilet in public which wrote in English use “WC”. In the street, some clothes brands wrote

25、by “Nike” “Adidas” and so on. There also have so many shops name like “KFC” “XXX Hotel”. With the launch Expo, more and more foreigners come to China, people learn English so that they can express their friendly. So it is very important for us to lean Oral English well. We can talk with foreigners a

26、nd introduce Chinese history for them. 2.2 English generally impacts our productionNowadays, a lot of factories produce the goods to seal to the foreign country. They must ask some people who understand the English to search the people in the foreign country want to import their goods. Just like for

27、eign tread. People not do the business in their own country any more. It is a good way to expand their business. And at the same time they can earn the both win.3 The Present Situation of College Students Oral English LearningAs we all know, there are four skills in English study, namely, listening,

28、 speaking, reading and writing. And they are so closely related to one another. Now most of the students do better in reading and writing English than in listening and speaking. They can read and write, but most of them have some troubles to communicate. They can hardly express themselves with their

29、 own words. The purpose of school English teaching is to improve the students with these four skills. Large vocabulary and good grammar are the base of the necessary phonetics. But this is not the final purpose. The final purpose is to let students be able to use the language freely.Chinese students

30、 study English from primary school, some even from the kinder-garden. Through middle school to university, teachers and students have paid enormous painstaking care, but English teaching just cultivates the students who are suitable to take the exam and written English. At present, the phenomenon of

31、 “deaf English, dumb English” is still serious, there are still many university students whose oral English is poor although they have passed CET-4 or CET-6. Some are poor in speaking, some in listening, while some in both. They cant express themselves fluently and they do not know how to. 3.1 The p

32、resent situation3.1.1 Lack of a good English environmentFor the impatient learners who would like to build Rome over night. Find a native language environment and live in such surroundings for two or three years and your English will naturally improve. But how can this be possible for the mass of le

33、arners who have absolutely no such access? Without any question, English environment is very important for the students to learn foreign language, but most Chinese students lack such good environment. They are learning English in a Chinese environment. At the same time, the English that we have lear

34、nt is traditional English, but native English speakers, they say Idiomatic English is in their daily life.3.1.2 Lack of diligenceSome students dont like learn English because some of them are not have a good foundation. So they dont want to listen to the teacher in the class. A lot of English teache

35、rs are not lively when they talk to their students so that they cant attract them successfully. Of course, the most important reason is that the students are not work heard enough. Some time, they always pick flaws from their teachers, but never find their own mistakes. When they cant finish the hom

36、ework they complain their teacher, they think the homework is so heard that they cant finish it. They always complain the English words are so long that they cant remember them. 3.1.3 Lack of a good wayStudents learn English in the class and follow the teachers methods to learn. It is not enough. We

37、 should find a way that is fit for us. Everyone has his own opinion and others are not suitable for you necessarily. There are so many ways to lean English well that you can choose some of them which are fit for you.3.2 College students problems in oral English learningStudents are afraid of speakin

38、g out. Everybody hopes he can speak fluently English. But they are afraid of making mistakes when they speak English and being laughed at by the other people. Therefore they have no courage to speak. We need overcome our fear and speak loudly. Dont worry about the mistakes. Some students repeat sing

39、le sentences and cannot be process of leaving oral English. For example, if someone be asked: “How are you?” most of students, even some college students will answer: “Fine. Thank you. And you?” In fact, there are many ways to answer this question, just like: “Terrific”, “Good”, “Not bad” and so on.

40、 So try to express one meaning in various ways.As a student who has learned English so many years, we have lost a lot of time to remember the words seriously. We just learn them and use them and then we forget them. It is not that they dont know how to use the word to express but they have no idea a

41、bout which word should be chosen to make their expressions more profound sometimes. The reason is that so many words we have learned and so many means the worlds have. It is self-evident that the process of picking up the ideal word will take some time and another topic will appear, in the other sid

42、e and certainly the perfect word you choose has no chance of presenting itself. At this rate, the process of picking up the ideal word will repeat all the time. After one round of conversation, you seldom get the chance to practice oral English.4 The Ways to Learn Oral English Well4.1 Through Englis

43、h moviesMany famous lingual masters put forward that watching original movies is the best way to learn diomatic English. The master who made a deep study of Chinese-English/ translation and the literature of British and U.S mentioned that in order to strengthen the abilities of speaking and listenin

44、g, he often stays at home watching original movies. The literature who served as professor of foreign languages at Taiwan University, in his diary he wrote that he got a great deal by watching original movies. Their experiences have showed that watching original movies is the most lively and efficie

45、nt approach to improve oral English. But how can the masters improve their oral English though movies? The principles of selecting a suitable film for learning are very important. The movie materials selection is significant in English learning. There are also many different kinds of films, like com

46、edy, tragedy, science fiction, thriller, documentary, etc. Although there are various kinds of movies, not everyone can be adopted as learning material, and what kind of films is suitable for learning is the key question for learners. Selecting a suitable film is very important for a learner to impr

47、ove our oral English. However, some modern campus films, love story films, comedy films are good choice, because movies must be quite close to the modern society, so it is the key of choosing movies. When watching this kind of films, you should pay your attention to the films on what, who, where, wh

48、en, how, why questions on the film. Certainly, there are different levels of students proficiency in college. Generally, according to their level of proficiency of English, students can be divided into three groups: elementary, intermediate, advanced. According to their level, students can choose the films that suit for them. They study spoken English so as to make oral communications, so this order of importance of oral English study should be followed: Fluency, accuracy, and appropriateness. That is to say, we have
