摘要
随着社会的发展,各国之间的交流与合作不断增加,中国人民与外国人的接触也随之增加。英语口语作为媒介在交流的过程中起到了重要的作用,因此英语口语教学也越来越被中国学校所重视。而且,作为四项语言技能(听说读写)之一,英语口语也已得到了许多专家学者的关注。
     然而,由于实际原因,英语口语在英语课堂活动中没有被给予充足的时间。在英语课堂上,听力,阅读和写作用的时间往往多于英语口语的练习,这表明英语教师没有正确认识到语言学习过程的统一。
     论文的作者在北京市A中学以问卷的形式做了一个英语口语现状的前测,发现学生对英语口语的态度是积极的。然而,他们的口语能力并不是很强,而且他们说英语时的心理状态为紧张且不自信。所以作者说服这两个班的英语老师做一个实验:看看通过增加课堂上的口语练习量能不能提高学生的英语成绩。这两个班是高一的五班和六班,作者还随机选取了一班和三班作为对照班。
     这个实验从2010年10月一直持续到学期末。因为学校没有专门的口语课,作者和任课老师就把口语的练习渗入到每种类型的课当中,像阅读,听力,写作,语法,练习等等。这种教学方法一直持续到学期末。学期结束前,作者做了一项教学效果的问卷调查,结果显示通过这三个多月的教学,学生们增加了学习英语的兴趣,他们喜欢以这种形式上课,而且大部分同学都认为这一系列的活动有助于他们英语成绩的提高。期末考试成绩显示,这两个班学生的英语成绩确实提高了,而且和两个对照班之间的差距拉大了。
     所以,本项研究的结果如下:通过加大英语口语练习量的高中英语教学,提高了学生的学习成绩,增加了学生学英语的兴趣而且提高了学生说英语的自信。
With the development of the society, oral English plays an important part in communicating with foreigners. Also, as one of the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), oral English teaching has been paid much attention to by many experts and researchers.
     Nowadays, however, oral English teaching has not been given enough time and activities in English classes because of the practical reasons. Practice of listening, reading and writing in English is more given attention than speaking, which suggests that the instructors of English in class have not understood the unity of language learning processes properly.
     The author of the thesis made a pretest about the oral English conditions of the students in A Middle School, Grade One. The pretest was made in the form of a questionnaire. The author found that the students'attitudes toward oral English were active. However, their ability of speaking English was not so high and their mental state of speaking was nervous and not confident. So, the author persuaded the teacher of the two classes to make an experiment of increasing chances of speaking English to see weather this way of teaching can improve the English scores of the students. And the two classes are Class Five and Six of Grade One. The author chose two other classes as comparing classes.
     The study began in October,2010 and lasted for more than three months. As there were no special oral English classes in this school, the author and the teacher added some English-speaking time into each kind of the classes, such as reading, listening, writing, grammar, exercise and so on. This kind of teaching did not end till the end of the semester. Before the end of the semester, the author conducted another questionnaire to see the teaching effect of the three months and found that through the new way of teaching, students increased their interests in learning English, they liked English classes better and most students think that this way of teaching can help improve their English achievements as well. And the English scores of the two experimental classes improved in the end.
     So, the results of the study are as follows:increasing chances for students to speak English in a senior middle school has improved the students'English scores and made students feel more confident while speaking English.
