oral english level is really worrying; as long as it is due to the rural students on english contact less, usually dare not speak. in addition, the teacher in the classroom doesnot attach importance to be one.3.1 analytical methodthe problem has been bothering me for a long time; i have been teaching method to find the good. i asked my colleague, also read books, draw the following conclusions: on the one hand, the students really learn english as a foreign language, on the other hand is the teacher should pay attention to oral english teaching.3. 2 cause analysis3.2.1. the teachers

language environment and exam systemthe pupils face to their mother tongue everyday, they can only practice english in class, and most of their parents cant speak english. they think everything in chinese, not in english, and their spoken english is weak, they could also get high marks in tests, because it dose not involve in english tests.3.3 questionnaire surveysince most of my pupils did not pay attention to spoken english in class, i designed a questionnaire for them. they are too young to understand its importance. through the data analyses, i found most students like classroom activities, 32% of them felt spoken english is very difficult, 25% of students consider it important.4. project objectivemy project objective is to improve the junior students oral english.5. project
