Listening, speaking, reading, and writing are four main points in learning English. Of course, speaking is also very i
9、mportant. Five years ago, with the coming of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, more and more Chinese people began to speak English. They learnt how to communicate with foreigners. As a student, it is also important to learn to speak English because dump English has passed. The situation now needs students
10、 to communicate with others so that they can fit the demand of the era. According to my teaching experience and students physical and psychological characters, I do like these below to improve Students oral ability.The first, accumulating and using vocabulary. Words are the most important in learnin
11、g English. Only so can you practice speaking English. The second, forming a feeling about language. Reading, reciting, skimming passage and listening more are effective ways to form the feeling about language. The third, creating a good English-speaking environment. The fourth, the teachers personal
12、 charm also affect students study.Chapter I VocabularyWe all know the importance of learning English.But what is the best way to learn? Many teachers agree that vocabulary is the key to learning English well.The better your vocabulary,the better your learning.Words are the most important in learning
13、 English. Only so can you practice speaking English. Vocabulary is like the base of a house. No Vocabulary, no English.A. Accumulating Vocabulary. Nobody can speak English without accumulating vocabulary. For example, you cant express “please sit on the sofa.” if you dont know the word “sofa”. Anoth
14、er example, the host often says to the guest “Help yourself to some fish”. If we dont know the phrase “help oneself to” we have no idea to express it properly. Learning and accumulating vocabulary is the most difficult problem for students. There are two obstacles: The first is knowing the pronuncia
15、tion and spelling of the words, but dont know the meaning. The second is knowing the Chinese meaning, but dont know the spelling. So overcoming to these two obstacles I do like this: When I teach students new words, I try to let students combine the pronunciation, the form and the meaning together a
16、nd remember the words according to pronunciation rules. I make students read by eyes, listen by ears, write by hands and remember by brain to enhance the result. Then I organize word test every day. I check students if they have grasped the new words through two ways. One is that I speak Chinese stu
17、dents write out the spelling of the words. The other is that I pronounce the words, students spell and write out the Chinese meaning. e.g. In my textbook for Grade Seven, after we learned the words of Unit1，I check students these words “Canada, Australia, country, live, language, Japanese, world.” T
18、he first time, I tell the Chinese meaning, students write out the spelling. If the consequence isnt very good, Ill try the other way. After several days I ask students to review the words that they have learned because mans forgetting regularity is “First fast, then slowly, first more, then fewer.”
19、I often organize vocabulary tests to achieve this purpose.B. Using vocabulary. Only remembering vocabulary is not enough. You really master the words until you can use it. So I ask students to use the words everywhere. First, after I teach the new words, I ask students to make sentences with them. e
20、.g. After learning the new word “study”, some students make sentences like “ I like studying English.” “I must study hard.” “Which subject do you study every morning?” In this way, students not only remember the new word but also know how to use the word in the sentence. Second, I tell the different
21、 uses of some words between Chinese and English. e.g. “red” is connected with the celebration or happy days. In English, “red-letter” means “holiday.” Especially in China, red stands for revolution or socialism. But in English, it means “ make sb. angry”. “Red flag” means something that makes one an
22、gry. The test of whether you have grasped a word depends not on hoe many of its meanings you have leant,but whether you can use it when you want to in speech or in writing.In fact,we can enlarge our vocabularies on the basis of what we have learnt during our primary school.You really dont need to ta
23、ke your vocabulary book wherever you go. What is the best way to improve? Try accumulating words daily and monthly.You can try to read everyday.You should be reading English stories or English newspapers.You may choose to read about subjects that interest you.Read it for an hour or read several arti
24、cles each day.When you meet new words and expressions during your reading,look up them carefully in a dictionary. Write down the new words in your notebook and make a new sentence using the words or phrase. You can recite the new words, but dont forget to go over them again soon. When reviewing the
25、new words you will recall naturally where you got each of them and the usage and this will aid your learning. I always tell the method above to my students and ask them to do like this. Many students who ever had trouble in reciting words begin to be interested in accumulating vocabulary now. They a
26、re progress everyday. Therefore I feel very gratified. Chapter II Forming a feeling about languageWhen you speak English, if you want to speak correctly, fluently, appropriately, and coherently, forming the feeling about language is very important. The feeling about language means when you want to s
27、ay something, you can say it out without thinking about the grammar or the tenses. Reading, reciting, skimming and listening more is helpful for you to form the feeling.A. Reading aloud more. “If you read the book one hundred times, you can understand the meaning easily.” Reading aloud is an importa
28、nt step to form the feeling. When you read aloud, you can hear the voice of yourself, so you can adjust your pronunciation, tone and you can understand and feel the sentences deeply. “Ask one or two students to take parts and to read the text aloud. You will be able to tell from this how well partic
29、ular students can pronounce correctly the English theyve already heard.”1 I use “morning reading time” to guide students to read. At the same time, I teach them some reading skills such as how to read a passage fluently and what time we should use rising tone or down tone. I also teach them what wor
30、ds should be stressed. In the textbook of Grade Seven, there is a passage like this: “Thank you for joining CCTVs Around the World Show. Today we are in Australia. Its a beautiful, sunny day. There are many people here on vocation. Some are taking photos, others are lying on the beach. Look at this
31、group of people playing beach volleyball. They look cool. I am surprised they can play in this heat. This is a very interesting place. The people are really relaxed. Do you want to come here?”2 In this passage, first I ask students to read every word correctly. Let students pay attention to the pres
32、ent participle and past participle such as “joining, surprised”. I tell them that nouns, verbs, adjectives should be stressed, but articles, conjunctions, adverbs neednt. e.g. In the third sentence, “beautiful” “sunny” should be stressed. In the fourth and fifth sentences, the verb phrases “taking p
33、hotos” and “lying on the beach” should be stressed. And I also teach students how to read the phrase coherently. e. g. “look at” can be read as /lookt/. It sounds more fluent than /look/ /t/. In the last sentence, “Do you want to come here?” should use up tone. After emphasizing these above, I ask s
34、tudents to read aloud, read again and again. In Li Yangs Crazy English, he advocates reading aloud every day, every minute, every second. So I ask students to read aloud every morning. After practicing, not only students form the feeling but also they become braver in speaking. I think reading aloud
35、 is necessary for English learners especially for those who want to improve their oral ability.BReciting. Forming the feeling about language has intimate relation with reciting. Speaking is an output activity. However if there isnt enough input content, there isnt correct output. The best way to imp
36、ort is reciting. Reciting can help students grasp more uses of the words and phrases. e.g. In the text book there is a passage like this: “Today it rained. So we went to a museum. It was kind of boring. I found a small boy crying in the corner. He was lost and I helped him find his father. That made
37、 me feel very happy. I didnt have any money for a taxi. So I walked back to the hotel. I was really tired.3 In this passage, a lot of phrases appear such as “go to a museum, kind of, find sb. doing sth., be lost, help sb do sth, make sb. do sth. , be tired.” After reciting it , students know the use
38、s of these phrases. Then if they want to speak with these phrases, they can use them freely without mistakes. So reciting more can also help students form the feeling about language.CSkimming passage more. What students learned in class is limited. But knowledge is endless. Skimming is a good chance
39、 to help students know more useful words, phrases and sentences. It can widen students eyesight, and increase students knowledge little by little. e.g. In class we only learn the phrases “look for, look at”, but according to skimming passage, students can know more phrases of “look” such as “ look u
40、p, look after, look around, look ahead.” So when students want to say sth. with “look” , they can use “look” properly and freely. Otherwise students can also understand more sentences. All these are helpful for them to form the feeling about language.DListening more. A good speaker must be a good li
41、stener first. Listening more can help students feel the sentences deeply. “Students working at home on their own should listen to the recording of each text as often as necessary for them to become completely familiar with it, and should even learn the texts by heart if they wish to.” e.g. For Engli
42、sh beginners, if they often listen to the tape, they can say “Good morning, How old are you, What are you doing?” without grammar mistakes. According to listening to the tape, students can also imitate the pronunciation of English speakers. So they can grasp correct pronunciation, tone, learn to dea
43、l with the meaning groups, understand the changes of emphasis in special situation. All these play a big role in forming the feeling about language.Chapter III Creating a good English-speaking environmentJ.B. Watson said, “Give me a dozen healthy babies. If let me educate them in the environment tha
44、t I controlled, I can train anyone as any expert: doctor, lawyer, artist, even beggar or thief.” We can see the environment plays a key role.ASpeaking bravely and more. In some schools in China, students are very shy to speak English. They only speak English in English class but not out of class. La
45、nguage practice is a procedure of making mistakes, then correcting them. If you want to speak English very well, you must overcome your self-abasement and frightening. You must speak more and bravely. You shouldnt be afraid that others may laugh at you. So when students make some mistakes, I dont po
46、int them out to keep students confidence if the mistakes arent very important. I establish English Day every week, so students can have a good environment to speak English. Every Wednesday is our schools English Day. On this day, students must speak English from morning to evening in spare time. If
47、they dont know how to express the sentence, they can ask for help. At first, students are very shy, but gradually they can greet teacher or speak with students in English freely. e.g. A student want to borrow a ruler, he can say, “ May I borrow your ruler?” When its time for lunch, he can say, “Oh,
48、its time for lunch. Lets go.” If he wants to go into the teachers office, he must say “May I come in ?” I also organize English corner twice a week. First ask students to prepare some programs in English. They can sing a song, tell a story, perform a short English play, read an English poem. Otherwise, in the first several minutes of every class, I ask stud
