3. 3. 2 Penetrating the task-based language teaching method into the whole process of teaching
The progress of the students’ oral English lies in adequate practice. Talking with the people who speak the same language helps them to activate those words which they have already mastered and realize the language knowledge which they have already learned. Using the learnt knowledge consciously in the true context, give the learner a feeling of success at the same time and meet their needs of inner heart, so as to stimulate their learning drive and potentials. Adopting task-based language teaching in the class is a valid method. For example, teachers can demand students to learn the phrases of shopping by the commercial advertisement, plan the travel line by the map, express the daily life, and compare the quality of the goods by the comparative degree of objectives or adverbials. Dispose a given learning task for students in every class, and then the process of completing the task is just the process of finishing the oral English communication. In this way, necessarily, the students’ oral English can make progress.
3. 3. 3 Setting up second class positively
Owing to so large number of students in a class and so less their chance to speak in English, some of the students whose English is poor is ashamed of opening their mouth lest they make a mistake. This restrains their desire for participating in the oral English practice in the class more or less.
However, in the relaxing language environment of the second class, the modern multimedia audiovisual can stimulate the interest of learners and put forward colorful topics, which urge students to take part in listening, and oral practice actively. In addition, we can provide various subjects, such as reports, English proseminar, foreign festival, English, Sharon, English corner, and so on. Those colorful English extra-curricular activities also help to improve students’ interest and enthusiasm to learn English. To create a sound language environment by various forms of English extra-curricular activities, the teacher should guide students according to their characteristics. The method must be heuristic and have pertinences. Besides creating a better environment for them to practice oral English, the teacher should prepare some special activities to deepen their understanding of English culture. Once they have the enthusiasms of learning spoken English, they can be suggested to listen to the English news, and give a speech for the topic they are interested in cultivating their ability of expressing themselves.
Conclusion
From the twentieth century, foreign language teaching witnessed great changes from classical teaching methods to various novelty approaches. Educational experts realized that in addition to selecting suitable teaching methods, there were some other important factors that affected the result of language learning, such as learners’ individual characteristics and the teaching environment.
As we all know, it is important to strengthen the teaching of spoken English as to foster talents adapting for 21st century’s economy construction. Effective spoken English teaching lies in the transformation of traditional teaching method and the role of teachers. Teachers should eliminate the students’ learning anxiety and inspire their inner motility of learning oral English by organizing colorful activities. At the same time, teacher should closely combine the limited class practice with unlimited after- class activities to build a continual language inputs and outputs, so as to promote the forming of students’ habit of English thinking and spoken English communication ability.
So far, some of my tentative suggestions have been presented in the previous discussions about how to make full use of communicative language teaching to reach the goal of communication. Several months of research have produced encouraging results. Although my research is only a short-term, small-scale investigation and the findings wait to be further confirmed by the participation of more teachers and researchers.
