语用能力特别是口语表达能力不仅是中职学生素质的表现之一,也直接对他们的就业、生存发展和实现人生目标起关键作用。通过“以就业导向,以能力本位”的中职口语教学意义的认识,笔者深入地分析当前中职学生口语能力的状况与原因,最后结合本人的教学实践,提出了以下三个教学策略来提高教学绩效:一是创设情境,激发兴趣,培养学生“说”的欲望;二是突出技巧、破译说话规律;三是创新课堂教学,帮助学生掌握技巧。使学生有得说,喜欢说,善于说. Pragmatic ability, especially oral expression ability, is not only one of the performances of students in secondary vocational schools, but also directly plays a key role in their employment, survival and development and fulfillment of life goals. Through the understanding of the meaning of the oral teaching of secondary vocational education based on “employment orientation and ability orientation”, the author analyzes in depth the current status and causes of oral English ability of secondary vocational students. Finally, in combination with my teaching practice, I propose the following three teaching strategies. To improve teaching performance: First, create situations, stimulate interest, and cultivate students’ desire to “say”; second, highlight skills and decipher the laws of speech; third, innovate classroom teaching to help students master skills. Let students have to say, like to say, be good at it.
