13、e 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 oral language, but the idiomatic oral english is abundant with short, active and vivid phr

14、ases. 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 and accurate.i have not so many chances to practice my oral english in my class so that

22、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-linked to daily life. apart from theoretical knowledge, english learners should put emphasis

23、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 address.2.1 english generally impacts our lifewith the developing of society, we can see the e

25、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 and introduce chinese history for them. 2.2 english generally impacts our productionnowada

26、ys, 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 foreign tread. people not do the business in their own country any more. it is a good way to

27、 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, speaking, reading and writing. and they are so closely related to one another. now most

28、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 own words. the purpose of school english teaching is to improve the students with these

29、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 study english from primary school, some even from the kinder-garden. through middle scho

30、ol 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 “deaf english, dumb english” is still serious, there are still many university students

31、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 present situation3.1.1 lack of a good english environmentfor the impatient learners who wo

32、uld 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 learners who have absolutely no such access? without any question, english environment is v

33、ery 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 learnt is traditional english, but native english speakers, they say idiomatic english is in

34、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 teachers are not lively when they talk to their students so that they cant attract them success

35、fully. 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 homework they complain their teacher, they think the homework is so heard that they cant fin

36、ish 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 should find a way that is fit for us. everyone has his own opinion and others are not su

37、itable 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 speaking out. everybody hopes he can speak fluently english. but they are afraid of making mista

38、kes 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 single sentences and cannot be process of leaving oral english. for example, if someone be as

39、ked: “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. so try to express one meaning in various ways.as a student who has learned english so ma

40、ny 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 about which word should be chosen to make their expressions more profound sometimes. the r

41、eason 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 side and certainly the perfect word you choose has no chance of presenting itself. at this r

42、ate, 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 english moviesmany famous lingual masters put forward that watching original movies is the best

43、 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 listening, he often stays at home watching original movies. the literature who served as professo

44、r 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 efficient approach to improve oral english. but how can the masters improve their oral english t

45、hough 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 comedy, tragedy, science fiction, thriller, documentary, etc. although there are various kin

46、ds 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 improve our oral english. however, some modern campus films, love story films, comedy films a

47、re 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, when, how, why questions on the film. certainly, there are different levels of students pro

48、ficiency 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,

49、so this order of importance of oral english study should be followed: fluency, accuracy, and appropriateness. that is to say, we have to pay more attention to practical communicating ability instead of only laying emphasis on the grammatical correctness.4.2 practice english with friendsrecently i fi

50、nd some partners practicing oral english together and english corner is a good place where we may exchange english study experience. if english partners are not easy to get, then we have to create an english environment ourselves by speaking english to ourselves. they will come up with your problems

51、 when you make the mistakes. and if you cant understand it you also can ask them for help.4.3 retelling the textsretelling the texts is very helpful for improving oral english. it is also can improve students ability of oral expression. we can do some reading before we have the class, listen careful

52、ly and do some marks at the same time. then we can have a try to repeat the story after the class. we must remember repeat it clearly, confidence and fluency.4.4 expand vocabularynowadays quite a lot of students still memorize english vocabulary by combing letters, even by marking chinese pronunciat

53、ion, which emphasis on spelling isolated letters. obviously it is useless, also have endless disadvantages. for example, we will reducing passion, killing enthusiasm, etc. as a result, more and more students begin hating english. that is to say, difficulties in memorizing english vocabulary become t

54、he biggest barrier in english learning.according to this, since vocabulary is a symbol of the gift of tongues, it is necessary for english learners to grasp the general procedures of memorizing english vocabulary in order to enlarge our english vocabulary efficiently. thus, we have to raise our awar

55、eness of the importance of memorizing vocabulary. so it is necessary for english learners to grasp the general procedures of memorizing english vocabulary in order to enlarge our english vocabulary efficiently. we have a number of choices for encountering new vocabulary. we may find out new vocabula

56、ry, either by way of parenthesis or by design. and after coming across and identifying new vocabulary, we usually do not consciously make efforts to recognize them, we may guess or analyze the meanings of the vocabulary through any morphological elements that we have seen before, and associate or cr

57、eate an image of the new vocabulary from sound or form. however, as human beings, our capacity of memory is limited. what is more, our time to memorize vocabulary is limited as well. that is to say, we cannot memorize all the vocabulary that we come across. as a result, we ought to have a selection

58、before we memorize them. thus, we can classify vocabulary into three levels, and then memorize them according to different situations and demands. 4.5 learn how to use the idiomsthe idiom is not easy to learn, easy to understand the confusion . people can properly use english idioms when we communic

59、ate with foreigners, they will immediately feel warm and love to communicate with you. so, maybe you know idioms each word, but put them together, you do not know what the meanings of them are.4.6 listening in english classroom how to improve listening comprehension in a simulative setting has always been a pr
