教师是教学的参与者,作用不容忽视。英语课堂离不开教师的决策,包括课前,课中,以及课后。教师对教学工作的知识,信念和想法即教师认知。为了提高学生的英语口语能力,我们要了解对于大学英语口语教学来说,教师认知的特点和差异,以及其中带给我们的启示。 Teachers are teaching participants, the role can not be ignored. English classes can not do without teachers’ decisions, including before class, during class and after class. Teachers ’knowledge, beliefs and ideas about teaching work are teachers’ cognition. In order to improve students ’ability to speak English, we need to understand the characteristics and differences of teachers’ cognition and the enlightenment brought to us by college English oral teaching.
