5、：2006级 英语学 生 姓 名：余明辉学 号：0607101099指 导 教 师：陈俊蓉日 期：2010年11月3日选题依据、目的意义与准备解决的问题（包括国内外目前对该论题的研究现状与发展趋势简述；论文选题的依据及论文的理论意义、现实意义及应用价值；准备解决什么样的问题并将在哪些方面有可能突破等）：国内外目前对该论题的研究现状与发展趋势：人们使用书面语言和口头语言等不同形式的语言相互交流。但是无论是从语言的发展、学习语言的规律还是语言存在的意义等方面看，口语都是较书面语言更重要的一种语言形式。它让人们能更加快速方便地表达他们的想法以达到交流的目的。培养学生的交流能力才是英语教学最重要的目标

6、。然而在中国学生的口语交流能力明显偏低，很多学生甚至羞于或者不屑开口说英语。提高口语能力已然成了中国英语教学迫在眉睫的重头任务。所以在国内外对口语的相关研究也不断涌现：如国内文秋芳和王立非编著的英语口语研究与测试、谢娜发表在教育理论上面的大学英语口语教学研究等。这些著作对口语能力提高策略的探究很多都是从语音语调、文化差异、场景把握等方面着手，这些方面的确对英语口语非常重要，所以本文对英语口语能力策略的研究是在前人的基础上进行的，属于已开拓课题。论文选题的依据:随着中国改革开放策略的不断深入，国民生活水平的日益提高以及中西方经济政治文化交流的不断深入，中国对具有高水平英语能力的需求量越来越大，尤

7、其是具有高水平口语能力的人才更是供不应求。大学生作为我国人才产出的生力军，提高大学生英语口语能力，帮助大学生培养高素质的口语能力，把大学生锻造成为能够满足国家和社会需要的人才是当前大学应该明确的重要任务之一。从这个层面上来说帮助大学生明晰提高口语能力的重要性、方法具有其重要的实践意义。另一方面口语作为英语非常重要的一部分，探索口语能力教学的方法和意义，不断创新完善口语能力教学体系，从而帮助有效地完善英语教学体系，提高英语教学质量和学生综合素质，从这方面看对口语能力提高方法的探索研究具有其不可忽视的理论价值和研究意义。同时英语口语作为人类语言的存在的一种原始形式之一，是英语发展的基础，提高口语能

8、力能够帮助英语使用者更高效更准确地相互理解，对文化的相互研究、书面翻译等方面有着相当重要的影响。准备解决的问题:就每个想把英语学好的大学生而言，影响英语口语能力的主要原因如上面所说是多方面的，最重要的应该归属于对提高口语能力方法策略的认识不够清晰。从英语传入中国开始，很多相关口语能力提升方法的研究也随即展开，也取得了相当的效果。本文将从提高口语能力对大学生的重要性、口语的类型和各种类型的特点、中国大学生口语现状及形成原因分析、大学生口语能力提高策略等方面入手进行探索研究，希望通过本文能够给英语学习者带来一些启迪收获，帮助英语学习者科学有效地提高自己的口语能力，避免走过多的弯路，减少学习过程中产

9、生迷惑。 在哪些方面可能有突破：本文通过对英语口语在当前形式下重要性，英语口语存在形式、各种形式的特点，英语口语能力衡量标准，中国大学生口语能力现状，影响中国大学生口语能力的因素，提高英语口语能力的方法策略等方面进行探索研究，旨在通过这些研究探索帮助大学生明确口语能力的重要性，促使其更加有效主动地去提升英语口语能力。之前的英语研究者们，对口语能力提高策略的探究很多都是从语音语调、文化差异、场景把握等方面着手，这些方面的确对英语口语非常重要，但是这些方面往往给英语学习者带来或多或少的枯燥感，即使是意识到了英语口语能力的提高是一个长期艰苦的过程，枯燥感也不可避免的对学习效率和学习兴趣产生消极的影响

10、，所以在口语提高策略中不失时机的对学习者兴趣的激发和鼓励是不可忽视的。比如合理利用口语性质中音乐性，从美学的角度去录入输出口语信息就是个不错的方法。让大学生在学习枯燥的时候从另一个全新而有趣的角度积极展开学习。主要研究内容、研究方法及预期目标：本文研究的主要内容：英语口语在当前形式下的重要性，英语口语存在形式、各种形式的特点，英语口语能力衡量标准，中国学生口语能力现状，影响中国大学生口语能力的因素，提高英语口语能力的方法策略等方面。研究的重点是提高英语口语能力的方法和策略，难点也集中在如何从不同的角度激发大学生英语学习者的学习主动性和兴趣。中文提纲：1英语口语概述2英语口语的发展及提高口语能力

21、Originality. 27On Strategies of Improving Students Oral English Ability1 Introduction It is acknowledged that one of the most important aims of learning a language is to use it in communication. So is the purpose of learning English language. For most English learners in China, it is inevitable to f

22、ace the fact that the purpose of English study is to use it as a communication tool. Whats more, in the modern world, the step of globalization is speeding up. With the exchange among countries of the world becomes deeper and wider, the need for spoken English , which has been one of the most widely

23、 used common speech, is getting more and more obvious.1 So the study of strategies of improving students oral English ability is necessary. Based on the facts and the authors observation, this paper firstly explains the definition of oral English and the importance of oral English ability, and then

24、it analyzes the present situations of oral English teaching and learning in China. And after all of those, the paper comes to the types and features of oral English, which is indispensable in this paper to the research of strategies of improving students oral English ability. The impact factors and

25、measures of oral English ability, which are the next part of the paper, are necessary to be discussed so that the English learners could avoid lots of unnecessary waste of energy in the process of learning. It lays emphasis on what skills could be used in oral English learning and teaching in the Ch

26、inese currency, which is introduced by the author in the last part, hoping these can do something good for the English learners and teachers.2 Brief Introduction and Significance of Oral English2.1 Brief Introduction about Oral English Learning spoken language is learning to talk. Learning oral Engl

27、ish is to learn how the native English speakers speak.2 Before beginning to learn to speak English, the following questions must be cleared: What is spoken language? What kind of oral English to learn? What to learn about oral English? 2.1.1 What is Oral EnglishFrom the cognitive processes of langua

28、ge, human beings have always been able to speak first and then know how to speak.3 English learners should first learn to speak too, which means to learn spoken English. However, the majority of English learners in China learn English through the written language. We should be clear that spoken lang

29、uage is different from written language. Spoken English is very arbitrary, while the written language is particular about the choice of words and grammar rules. There are two basic forms of written language: one is a direct record of the contents of peoples speech, and another, in accordance with no

30、rms of written language, is creativeness of the writers who spend their brains out to write.4 The spoken language is not the case. The vast majority of people speak in a simple and straightforward way to achieve the purpose of direct communication.2.1.2 What to Learn about Oral English What should b

31、e learnt about oral English to the death? This issue will affect the whole learning process involving the arrangement of the time, the amount of energy and even the money to pay. According to the nature and laws of language learning, the following three areas: word, string of words used and the pron

32、unciation, ought to be included in the content of oral English learning. Word is the vocabulary that may be liked to the stick of the English Language wall. The first question of vocabulary is the amount: How many words should be learnt so that you can speak fluently with the words you learnt? Think

33、 about the number of Chinese words and phrases with which the question can be answered. English is the same. English nation speak with a simpler way than the Chinese nation. Habit is a kind of ability to string words together following the thought mode of native English speakers. We string words tog

34、ether to make sentences which can be divided into three areas: self-describing sentences, sentences to describe others, and social sentences.5 You should learn these sentences or sentence patens. In addition, the frequently used verb tenses should be clarified. Coming to accent, we must first determ

35、ine which countrys English accent to learn. British-style? Australian-style? The American? The answer depends on your purpose of learning. You learn for your settlement in a country or for your work? Or you learn for your work? If theyre not your direct purposes, then it is not so important about wh

36、at kind of accent to follow. But no matter what kind of accent you choose, you should be careful to imitate. The content of Oral English pronunciation includes: sound, accent, tone. First of all monosyllabic essentials must be practiced. A big headache of Chinese English learners is that the accent

37、is not in the right place. Obviously, the importance of pronunciation learning must focus on accent. In addition, you have to learn the way with which native English speakers transmit information and emotional changes in habits. This is a senior studying to English-speaking realm.62.2 Significance o

38、f Oral English Oral English, in the aspects of improving the level of listening, word memory, ability of comprehensive quality, plays a very important role. First, oral English ought to be practiced more, because it is the most portable way to learn. Secondly, you may be wrong in listening for the i

39、ncorrect habit you speak with. Sentence making is always weighing up slowly. After all it is not so easy to cultivate a habit. The essence of learning oral English is to help English learners form an English thought mode unknowingly through the absorption of English syntax in the passage of time. Af

40、ter a period of time it may be natural for learners to speak in fluent English. With this kind of level learners have obtained the English syntax unconsciously, which is better than deliberating the nominative case and the objective case. Thirdly, oral English in conversation is natural with little

41、pile odd words between responses, which may not allowed deliberateness. You can see this difference in the contrast of newspaper editors and famous speech makers in talking. Written English is based on oral English and focus on natural orders and clear thought so that it can be read after being crea

42、ted. Otherwise, a paper full of odd dictionary words is good for nothing. So we can come to a conclusion that English writing must be based on oral English.7 Clear and precise English communication skills, as a reflection of the comprehensive capabilities of a person, playing an important role in th

43、e aspects of increasing ones competitiveness power, can not be underestimated. All along, most of the students receive exam-based English education in order to cope with a variety of exam-based written English. In the course of English learning, the teacher teaches students more of a vocabulary and

44、grammatical knowledge. So the number of the students who are able to use English to communicate fluently is really few. “Mute” English has increasingly become the biggest obstacle in learning English. After all, English as a language should be a communicative tool. Especially in accordance with the

45、current economic trends, the intercommunication between China and the international becomes increasingly close and the study of practical knowledge of spoken language that can cope with work, business, abroad, is really a big problem. As modern citizens of the global cottage, we have no reason to av

46、oid or refuse to learn oral English. On the contrary we should be as soon as possible to learn and master more than one skill that can enhance our competitive edge. With the development of time spoken language should be a learning trend. Excellent oral capabilities can help people who speak English

47、make better communication. Dialogue, as one of the main communication ways of modern human beings, is not only directly related to a persons relationships, but also indirectly affect the individuals attitude to life, as well as the attitude of others.8 This shows that the level of oral language has

48、a great impact on the individual psychological health. To sum up, both in learning the English language itself, increasing ones competitiveness or in the social and personal psychology, the importance of spoken English is self-evident.3 Current Situation of Oral English Learning and Teaching in Chin

49、aAt present, in China, spoken English has become one of the major courses of English language teaching. Verbal ability to express has also become the main training target. But the current status of oral teaching is not optimistic. In the school, for several years learning English, however, many stud

50、ents are only able to test with a deaf ear on listening and a closed mouth to speaking. The development is a serious imbalance. This will inevitably bring us into thought. This phenomenon is caused not only by student learning purposes and the environment, while improper teaching methods can not avo

51、id responsibility. The reasons for the mentioned “dumb” phenomenon are mainly in the following areas: The first reason is the exam-oriented education system. In China, exam-oriented education influences have infiltrated into every stage of English learning. The purpose of English learning, of a larg

52、e part, is to cope with a variety of exams. In English teaching system, assessment focuses on the mastery of language knowledge, especially at the secondary stage of English language learning, as well as the usual variety of entrance examinations. Examinations in English are basically written tests,

53、 often neglects oral expression, not even requiring any verbal expression. Students who cope with all kinds of levels or proficiency of tests will have “hands-on, fixed mouth”, so the students ability to write is such “awesome” as to go through all kinds of examinations, with being overshadowed oral

54、 expression, resulting in a “dumb English “undesirable phenomenon. Once the students get an exposure to the real concrete social context, they often do not know how to use English to express personal views and perspectives. Thus, in the examination-oriented education, the written is “overweight” and

55、 oral is “weightless”. Teachers often overlook secondary oral expression ability and training, which is a phenomenon that in those places economically underdeveloped.The second reason is the lack of challenges to the traditional teaching mode and effective innovation. In the traditional classroom te

56、aching, teachers are the main body of teaching activities who impart knowledge, while students are those who are passive to lectures and note-taking and then making memory of knowledge points. This kind of education enables students to have little opportunity or no opportunity for oral training. Even now the need to strengthen the oral teaching is strongly advocated, in English classrooms, oral practices given are only a large number of mechanical operations. They do not truly improve the think
