8、rningi. introductionan english speech, generally speaking, is a process in which a speaker conveys his own idea on a certain topic, and the english here serves as a linguistic carrier. and, as the first foreign language in china, english enjoys a highly acclaimed reputation and boasts a long history

9、. the english speech-aided learning method, which serves as a new and developing language learning method, is gradually prevailing. an english speech can be divided into several types: narrative speech, ceremonial speech, informative speech and persuasive speech. as far as im concerned, ceremonial s

10、peech, informative speech and persuasive speech are most widely seen all over the world. as a matter of fact, politicians and chiefs of states are the major public speakers. in order to advocate ideas and policies and appeal to more supporters, speeches can be fully and widely utilized to the greate

11、st extent in western countries. moreover, english-speaking countries are top examples. from time to time, leaders have made numerous speeches to his countrymen and even to the whole world. and, thanks to the status of english as one of the official languages in the un., english speeches work perfect

12、ly and extensively at speakers will. ii.the impacts of english speechas one of the english learning methods, english speech-aided learning method brings a lot of impacts on english learning, and almost every petite part of the world is influenced.2.1. english speeches are beneficial to english learn

13、ingas it is mentioned, english speeches have been the routine of such traditional english speaking countries as great britain and the united states. at the same time, english learners regard imitation as a useful way and they discover that english speeches are quite useful to them. then the speech s

14、tarted to have its place. besides english news broadcasting, tv programs, passages, movies, speeches seem quite new and special to learners. in speeches, several same points might be found in other media. however, the speech is more serious, vivid and edifying. it is these unique advantages of engli

15、sh speeches that arouse learners passion.2.2. some impacts of english speeches on english learning through study and analysis, several impacts on english learning can be found in speeches.2.2.1. pronunciationmake an english speech or just listen to it. a standard pronunciation is a basic requirement

16、. that can guarantee everything you speak can be understandable. a sound conversation also works like that, doesnt it? therefore, to practice reading or imitating a speech repeatedly can help correct your own english speaking mistakes. just like the radio and tapes, listening to an english speech wi

17、ll be helpful to english learners. thorough and permanent imitating practice and listening can help wipe out most weaknesses and flaws on your poor english speaking. unwittingly, you surely see the progress and may find that you have moved forward. 2.2.2. manners dont you see how elegant and solemn

18、the speech makers are on the stage? for instance, at the english speaking contest in china, every time when all the candidates show their performances on the stage, there is so much to learn. manners can be equally important as pronunciation. and gestures, appearance, attitudes even the speaking spe

19、ed can tell personal synthetic skills. english learning also covers artistic tricks. through different speakers, all kinds of characters can be exhibited to you. pick up your favourite and absorb his wits. an important principle should be acquired that sound behaviour and elegant appearance serve la

20、nguage learning well. to live up to the expectation, permanent observation needs to be taken as a must routine of your learning habit. manners-oriented observation may not be easy, but worth trying.2.2.3. memory an english speech is somehow like a series of recitation, especially the impromptu one.

21、even a few minutes speech needs a full preparation, let alone the recitation. before the speech release, memorizing is the foundation of the whole plan, yet a slight mistake can ruin the work. being a good english speaker needs a good memory, as english learning requires. passages of articles of cel

22、ebrities speeches can help improve your memory, then more importantly, the essence of english passage is unwittingly absorbed in the course of speech recitation. it is a bit suffering but extremely beneficial to language learners. as time goes by, this tremendous memory enhancing skill advantage may

23、 turn out to be the best.2.2.4. logical thinking a great public speaker can be definitely a wise man. also a fantastic speech lies in rational thinking, well-established logic, coherence and carefulness. you might be an average and plain speaker in public. yet a long-standing speech practice can pos

24、sibly turn you into an attractive speech maker. a rational speaker would open up his charm before audiences eyes by a coherent speech, an attractive tone and elegant manners. all these make a perfect speaker. poor english learners can turn to that for solution to their problems. only wise thinking a

25、nd rational organization can help a language learner conduct an efficient study. being more logical and careful can help avoid mistakes and setbacks. just make long-term preparation before speech delivery and revise it. soon overwhelming progress might come with the help of logical ideas.2.2.5. ling

26、uistic foundation both speech delivery and learning are based on profound and solid linguistic and literal foundation. without any essence of language and literature, splendor can hardly be seen throughout the whole speech. to accomplish a perfect speech is also a process in which you establish your

27、 own literal foundation. to imitate and deliver numerous speeches is some kind of accumulation of the goodness of english language. the more speeches you make, the more speeches you imitate, the more advantages and linguistic progress you will achieve. like memory improvement, accumulation follows a

28、s speech practice is approaching forward. you wont suffer any loss during english learning.2.2.6. variation of ideas this is the nature of speech. what is a speech made for? it is just to publicize speakers ideas, to persuade and finally to change audiences views. a touching and inspiring english sp

29、eech might turn thousands of millions of people different. just like the past famous politicians, you may learn the english skill through listening to those well-known speeches. however, a greater change would follow up such practice, your outlooks and values might secondarily be controlled of renew

30、ed. you will soon realize how excellent a speech may become. a speech is merely a tool for value publicity. as a matter of fact, an english speech is not the only way to work for policy delivery. however, speeches can rank top because of its encouraging and attractive material as well as the speaker

31、s charm. nowadays, english learners are increasingly listening to and reciting western famous inspiring speeches. it can be quite overwhelming that all western values are all crammed into learners mind and it is preceding without much censorship and judgment.iii.the advantages and disadvantages of e

32、nglish speech-aided learning method and other learning methods you might find out dozens of english learning methods like radio listening, tapes, tv programs, books, recitals and conversations. each of them has its strengths and flaws. therefore, advantages and disadvantages can be seen when they ar

33、e compared with each other.3.1. radio generally speaking, live radio shows are usually fixed forms, especially the serious radio programmes. they restrict learners from traveling around. the radio can be of more selection, yet the prerequisite is a portable machine or an environment in which you can

34、 receive the radio programmes. however, speech practice is more flexible, even though we could seldom appreciate a live speech of free self-speech practice. speech material reading or recitation can be easily fulfilled. in all, a speech recital is more practical than radio reception.3.2. tv similarl

35、y, tv programmes restrict learners more. a tv set is less portable than a radio receptor. and it costs more. the largest advantage is you can appreciate the programme merely by listening but not watching. however, you may lose fun when tv performance is broadcast, in that case, tv programme receptio

36、n can be no difference from radio listening. whats worse, tv programme is less informative than radio. consequently, a speech is more worthy and more affordable.3.3. movies as for movie viewing, recorded movies and cinema shows are more likely to be referred to. it takes up nearly two hours every ti

37、me you learn. the only advantage is that you may be entertained when appreciating and more fun you may get. a speech, as is mentioned, is omnipresent and more common to global english learners.3.4. books speeches, to some extent, are the closest to book reading because book reading covers speech lea

38、rning. you can hardly tell the clear difference between them. they share almost the same carrier, paper. yet the slight distinction is still detected. books are of more content and types while speeches are relatively boring. thats the reason why books are still prevailing out of diversity. books nev

39、er seem to vanish from the world despite the bloom of the internet. whats more, general book reading is also portable. even a simple story from any novel can knock down speeches without any difficulty. probably, it is the unique form which overtakes a speech.3.5. recitala recital is quite similar to

40、 a speech reading. the recitation is required for both when they are conducted. the whole preparation is almost connected with material selection. but, a recital only needs fixed material while speech covers active thinking. a speech is more complex than the former form. people might prefer their ow

41、n favourite. they both turn learners well behaved.3.6. conversation as far as im concerned, conversation is the best for english learners because manners, thinking, interaction are all involved and several fields are applied. all in all, they cant not be simply analyzed. more elements still remain u

42、nfound. a speech requires preparation. conversation is more likely an impromptu job. conversation has a longer history. you cant tell the clear disadvantage from each of them. hence, conversation, speech and book reading probably dominate the english learning, no one can easily explore even discover

43、 a brand new field. still. linguists are happier to see the future of foreign language.iv.practice and application of english speeches4.1. english speech-oriented practice and its principles to improve and develop the english learning methods, new skills are supposed to explore. english speech bring

44、s impacts on english learning and it is essential. so an english speech-oriented practice is introduced. meanwhile, several following practice principles are also presented. 4.1.1. encouragement language learning is a life-long process, let alone the practice. in the course of practice and applicati

45、on, setbacks are unavoidable. for the sake of the character of english speech practice, professors are supposed to support students, to encourage them and be more patient with the practice. interaction is needed among professors and students. besides, each should be well-prepared in case of potentia

46、l difficulties. as students, they have to stay positive and active, motivation, persistence and optimism can help promote them approach further.4.1.2. student-oriented principle english speech practice is a compulsory course. the functions of professors are to impart elementary techniques, lectures

47、and make comments. and most of the time spent is assigned for students speech imitation and practice. what should be emphasized is students practices can not be replaced by professors. only through multilayer, multiform repeatedly imitation, learning and practices can students skills be consolidated

48、 and improved. consequently, english speech lectures should be focused on students.4.1.3. combination of chinese speeches and english speeches by their very natures, they have few differences. they are a kind of activity by vocal language, silent language and other artistic expressions, it influence

49、s and inspires audiences by the means of view delivery and finally for the sake of realizing communication exchange. however, a collection of differences exist out of different language carriers, cultural backgrounds and thinking patterns. the speech layout, rhythm and gesture can be different from

50、each other. taking all this into account, professors may draw on the experience of chinese successful speech makers, yet it can not be cribbed without any judgment. moreover, professors should be aware of english speech characteristics, carry out careful absorption then create proper features.4.2. s

51、everal forms of english speech lectures when the aims to english speech lecture material and learning method foundations are fully taken into account, we may adopt several forms when conducting specific teaching.4.2.1. observation the aim of observation is to wipe out students linguistic and mental

52、dissension, but arouse their interest in english speeches, secondarily establish the foundation of speech imitating. to achieve that, some classical speech tapes and videos can be utilized as models. meanwhile, professors can help lead students to experience varied speech sound and realize some spee

53、ch vocal traits. manners during the speech and speech thinking are also remarked when processing speech observation. synthetic speech layout can then be exposed. observation target may be professors. the value of observation can be tremendous because the professors know students well and realize dif

54、ferences between chinese speeches and english speeches. all this lies in professors full preparation.4.2.2. imitation after a lapse of a couple of months, the program can move forward to the second stage imitation. speech imitation may start with passage reading in which students are required to rea

55、d the model passage aloud, staring at the passage and abide by the features of videos for observation. in this case, students vocal skills are supposed to accord with the models. afterwards, students might make an impromptu speech with gestures. surely, some speech gestures, like shrugs, might be im

56、proper. , as a rule, imitation should be focused on speech vocal skills practice.4.2.3. set-topic speeches when observation and imitation are getting somewhere, set-topic speeches then can be introduced. students by then might be interested in having a try because they have realized english speech w

57、riting characteristics as well as the abilities to translate written language into vocal one. meanwhile, professors can assign a topic and require students to do materials research and collection, outline making and speech composition. accordingly, professors can do respective tutoring, speech scrip

58、t revision and speech skills guidance. in classes, students are supposed to make speech reports. after the report presentation, professors and students may make a collective comment and express progressive and constructive proposition. the advantage of set-topic speeches is determined by long-term preparation, which is beneficial to various skills practices. besides, students abilities to read passages and compose speeches can be consequently improved.4.2.4. impromptu speeches imp
