We are keeping in close touch with the foreign countries. As the most widely used language around the world, E
13、nglish plays a more and more important role in international communication. So it is essential for our, Chinese people, to learn English well especially speak well so that we can communicate with the foreigners fluently, which leads to the appear of the phenomenon that more and more people, no matte
14、r old or young are learning English. However, most of the people can not speak good English especially the rural students. Most of them are just learning dumb English. So firstly I analyze the present situation. Then I discuss the main reasons for this situation. At last, I propose solutions and met
15、hods from teachers teaching and students studies.2. The Present Situation2. 1 A brief introduction to speakingUsually we tend to think that English has the four skills, which named listening, speaking, reading and writing list by list and speaking is often considered as the most important of the fou
16、r skills. People who know a kind of language tend to be regarded as speaker of that language. So most foreign language learners are primarily interested in learning to speak well.Speaking in foreign language is very important skill which can help you express your ideas, exchange thoughts, and commun
17、icate with others in your community. Speaking in a foreign language has often been viewed as the most demanding one of the four skills. The skill of speaking is distinct from other skills in language acquisition. For it is an action learned by practice and repletion, just like swimming and cycling.
18、If you want to gain the ability, you must not merely stay in theory research. You also have to practice as much as possible, or your theory and vocabulary are in vain. 2.1.1 The characteristics of speaking Speaking is often considered as the most important of the four skills because speaking in real
19、 life is far more complex than the theory of it. To elaborate this point, I offer the following characteristics which contribute to understanding the speaking clearly.0 Speaking is a skill, which the students will use in real situations of their daily lives. It can be memorized, initiated, understoo
20、d, and practiced. All of these characteristics make speaking to be a challenging language skill. Fluent speech contains restricted forms, which demands learners to get enough practice to know them well. Also students must be equipped with the stress, rhythm and intonation of English. In all, it is a
21、 complicated task for the ABC.Three specific characteristics of speaking are as bellow.(a)The first one is spontaneity because it is full of false starts, repetitions, incomplete sentences and short phrases. Spontaneous speech is very obvious in our life, which means that all the sentences you say i
22、n your real life can only prepared for a short time. People do not often prepare for what they are going to say. So they usually say in an easy life style, which causes the problem that spontaneous speech is not perfect and has several errors, repetitions, etc. So teachers may call on their students
23、 to do more forward thinking and planning than native speakers do in real life.(b)Speaking is time-constraint. Students must have the abilities to produce unplanned utterances in limited time; otherwise people will not be patient to listen to them. Because only one partner can response his or her pa
24、rtner timely, there is communication of value. (c)The last but not least, it depends on listeners. Time pressure is not the only point that is hard for students. Additionally, they must consider the person they are talking to. If the listeners understand the speakers, they must consider whom they ar
25、e talking to. Every speaker should choose the valuable way to chat with others. The objective of actions is very important.So when we design speaking task, we should first consider the language proficiency level of the students. It is appropriate to give the students tasks at times that challenge th
26、em but not above their level.2.1.2 Several components of good speaking The definition of good speaking is hard to say, which arouses a heated discussion among people. While there are some consistent points for good speaking. To put it simply, the good speaking process involves three components.(a)Cr
27、eative thinkingThe first important component for good speaking to get is the creative thinking. The creative thinking begins with learning not merely to see but also to consider and to observe it. It is negative to note but is active to analyze. Creation is an important bridge between technique and
28、interpretation. Creative thinking can be trained through some tasks actively by ourselves. For example, we can write down the creative and imaginative ideas without delay. Perhaps one day we can make a difference through our ideas. We should dare to create and dare to do. If teachers produce the stu
29、dents with the excellent skills, at the same time the imaginative sense of the students is alive, then it will be easy to be developed their real abilities. (b)Voice-quality and Standard Pronunciation Standard pronunciation is another indispensability element of good speaking. Give an example, if ev
30、ery word is in a standard way, it will be easier to understand each other. Otherwise, they will get misunderstanding each other. Additionally, English oral ability is also reflected by our voices. Therefore we should attach importance to our voice training. So at the first of all we should be aware
31、of the quality of voice well. The quality of voice mainly involves three aspects: conservation, variety and audibility. The first one is the conservation, which is the base of the voice. The second one is the variety of the voice. In daily life, if a speakers voice is always monotonous and then the
32、listeners will feel bored with you, refusing to continue listening. The last one is audibility. Simply explaining, it means that your voice has appropriate volume. Actually it does not require you to have a booming voice, but just to sure that every listener can hear you clearly. (c)Body Language Bo
33、dy language means more than just hand or arm gestures, it refers to any little movement of any part of the body. Body language, as well as spoken language, is the carrier of the culture with a rich connotation, which can get misunderstanding because of cultural differences. As we all know, a good sp
34、eech deliver very excellent body language. For many famous orators, they once employed various gestures and expressions to influence the audience so that they can make a difference.2. 2 The differences from good speakingI regret that the students of rural primary schools all lack three components of
35、 good speaking. Firstly, they tend to have no creative thinking. They are just learning dumb English that people are good at taking examinations, but they can not speak well. Most students can not communication with foreigners fluently after graduation. They can just speak a few sentences. Then thei
36、r pronunciation is not standard even a huge gap from the standard pronunciation. The survey found that they dont learn English phonetic symbol. So they are not aware of the standard pronunciation. Last but not the least, they seldom have the body language because they are not dared to speak English
37、loudly. They are shy and does not have confidences and courage.2. 3 The differences from the New National Curriculum Standard In general, there are six designing principles for the National English Curriculum for Nine-year Compulsory Education. The following are the principles that may help us get a
38、 general idea about them. - Aims to educate all students and emphasize quality-oriented education. -Highlight the student individuality and respect individual differences. -Develop competence-based objectives and allow flexibility and adaptability. -Pay close attention to the learning process and ad
39、vocate experiential learning and participation. - Attach particular importance to formative assessment and give special attention to the development of competence. -Optimize learning resources and maximize opportunities for learning and using the language. The survey found that oral English teaching
40、 of rural primary schools despair from the National English Curriculum for Nine-year Compulsory Education. They are taking the traditional teaching method. They are still centered on teachers and seldom focus on the students.In the inadequate teaching hours of the oral course in primary schools, at
41、least half of the time is used to teach vocabulary, speech and to explain how these are used in certain situations. So there is the very limited time for speaking practice. Students have no time to speak loudly at all. The traditional primary schools classroom teaching tends to be one-way communicat
42、ion or teacher-centered, which means that a teacher controls the teaching procedure from beginning of the class to the end of the class, and students rarely have opportunities to express their unquiet ideas and to do creative activities. Teachers are the authority: teachers speak all the content and
43、 few students have amount of chances to express their ideas. Teachers and students have little interaction at all, which causes the students are passive. Also, the language used by the teacher is mainly native language. The communication between teachers and students are in fact in native language.
44、This does harm to stimulate students desires to express ideas in the language.2. 4 The appearance of the “dumb” English phenomenonBecause they do not meet these requirements, the “dumb” English phenomenon appeared. It is a phenomenon that people do well in taking examinations but they can not speak
45、well. Most students can not communication with foreigners fluently after graduations. They can just speak a few sentences.3. Main Reasons For This Situation In order to understand the deep reasons behind this situation, I did a survey in all the primary schools of my hometown. There are 50 teachers
46、included in my research.3.1 The lack of the professional teachers Their professional qualities and academic credentials remain to be further strengthened. According to statistics, nearly two-thirds of them graduate from academy, the rest graduate from secondary schools. But only 20 persons (about 40
47、%) major in English, the rest do not major in English. This tells us a large number of English teachers do not receive the formal English training, which results in their limited vocabulary, lack of the cultural background, bad pronunciation and poor basic skills, etc. Especially, they are short of
48、theories of education of the English teaching. So they can not smoothly complete their teaching work and use the theories to develop the process of English teaching effectively.3.2 The lack of the quality-oriented educational ideasExam-oriented education should change into quality-oriented education. Mark is not the only standard to wei
