英语是国际上普遍通用的交际语言,越来越受到人们的高度重视。调查表明,在我国农村中学中,大多学生的笔试能力较强,而口语表达能力却相对落后。学生受到语言环境等方面的限制,在大声开口朗诵和背诵、运用所学句型与人交流等方面做得远远不够。因此,努力提高学生的口语能力,全面提升学生的英语素质,是当前我们英语教师的首要任务。 English is a commonly used communication language in the world and it has drawn more and more attention from people. The survey shows that in our rural middle schools, most of the students have better ability of written examination and less expressive ability of speaking. The students are limited by the language environment and so on. They are far from being able to read and recite aloud and use the patterns and communication they have learned. Therefore, efforts to improve students ’speaking ability and improve students’ English quality are the primary tasks of our English teachers.
