1、Enhance Students Interest in Oral English论文中文摘要(中文)兴趣是学习任何知识的一个重要的前提条件。学习英语口语也是如此。然而,笔者通过对22名中学生的问卷调查发现,有些中学生对口语学习并不感兴趣。通过分析,笔者发现问题主要是出在教学者的“教学设计”上,主要问题有:1.没有让学生明确口语学习的目的;2.没有帮学生理清口语学习与发展其它英语学习技能的关系;3.没有设计出一套切实可行的教学方案。依据有关的英语教学理论,笔者剖析了以往的口语教学活动,提出了通过改善教学设计来增加学生对口语的学习兴趣。 为此,笔者设计并实施了为期4周的,以 “PPP”( Pre
2、sentation, Practice, Production)为理论模式,以“information-gap activity”为主要形式的实验性教学,并取得了令人鼓舞的结果:参加教学实验的多数同学都开始喜欢口语学习了。通过对比两次问卷调查的结果发现,喜欢口语训练的学生的比例由44.5% 提高到了70.1%,说明研究结果基本达到了预期目的。通过本项目的研究和实施,可以提高学生对口语学习重要性的认识,明确口语学习的目的,掌握口语学习的具体方法,特别是尝试解决长期困扰许多中学生的所谓“口语训练与以语法及结构为中心的考试的矛盾”,从而纠正“口语训练对这类考试帮助不大”的认识上的偏差。笔者希望 本次
3、项目研究可以为受类似教学问题困扰的中学教师提供一些有价值的帮助,使其抓住口语教学的实质,科学地设计口语教学,有效地组织课堂口语活动从而激发学生的口语学习兴趣,切实提高中学生的英语口语能力。Abstract This project is about how to enhance the students interest in doing oral practice. Interest is the best teacher. Students can be motivated by their interest that is also one of the important elemen
4、ts to ensure the success of oral teaching. But in my teaching, Ive found that some students are not interested in oral practice. So a questionnaire survey was done, the results of which shows that how I used to teach is mainly responsible for students lack of interest in oral practice. I failed to g
5、ive the students a clear goal of speaking; I offered little help to the students about the relationship between speaking and the development for the other English learning skills; Above all, I did not have well-designed oral-teaching plan and the oral work was not quite interesting. To change the si
6、tuation, I decided to carry out a 4-week research on 22 middle school students with a hypothesis that learners interest in oral practice will be greatly increased by better oral work design. During the research PPP model was adopted with information-gap activity as the main type of task. By comparin
7、g the results of pre-project questionnaire and post-project questionnaire, it is found that most of my students started to like oral practice, which is really encouraging. Apparently, the results are consistent with my initial hypothesis, because the percentage of the students who are interested in
8、doing oral practice is increased from 44.5% to 70.1%. Therefore, teachers can make better oral work design that can really improve students ability of speaking in English. Table of Contents PagesI.

BackgroundThree years ago, I have started my own English training school-“Dream Crazy English Training Center”, and I
13、 have been teaching in the school. In my teaching, Ive found some problems, especially the problem that some of my students are not interested in speaking English. Ive told them time and again the importance of oral English and urged them to take an active part in oral work. However, their interest
14、in speaking English does not seem to be enhanced. Since taking the English courses in Beiwaionline, I hope I can find solutions to the problem that has troubled me for some time through action research so that I can apply what I have learned into practice. Hopefully, the present situation in teachin
15、g oral English can be improved and my students can also benefit from the project.2. Literature Review The purpose for learning English in China has changed in recent years due to the open Door Policy. In the past, everyday communication was not the main goal because one didnt need to listen and spea
16、k in English. So the Grammar-Translation Method started to getting more and more popular from 1700s, 1800s in Europe. It is the one which has been used in the foreign language leaching for the longest time. It has some advantages which are well known, such as to improve the learning effect through s
17、tudents comprehension to the grammar rules, etc. But the deficiency of it is apparent. For example, it ignores the oral teaching, etc. ( Li , 1983) “The big breakaway from the Grammar-Translation Method in schools in the west came with the founding of the European Community 1957 as a reaction to the
18、 divisions caused by the Second World War.” (Gu, 1998) A Functional-Notional Approach emerged in 1960s. It is more effective to train students ability of speaking. First it points the language is a kind of tool for communicating , the main purpose of teaching is to improve students ability of using
19、the language.( Wilkings, 1974) . At the same time, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) has developed into a comprehensive teaching and learning methodology. The goal of the two methods is still communicate. In the 1990s, the PPP procedure came out, which stands for Presentation, Practice, and Prod
20、uction. In this module, the teacher introduces a situation which contextualizes the langue to be taught. (Harmer ,2003) And this is the main theory whish my project based on.II. Problem identification and analysis1. Problem identificationIn my speaking class, the students usually read and recite the
21、 texts or key sentences. Because I used to believe that if they could recite the key sentence patterns, they can express themselves in English. But to my disappointment, Ive found although they have recited many key sentences, and can even interpret these key sentences between English and Chinese, t
22、hey could hardly express their own ideas. So when I give them some topics and ask them to talk about them, they dont seem to be interested.2. Problem analysis2.1 Summary of the problemsIn my teaching, the problem identified was really a serious one. My preliminary research confirmed that there were
