陶行知的“教学做”思想注重在实践中进行教和学,从实践中来,最终所教所学都要归于实践。这一点对大学英语口语的教学非常有启示意义。首先对于口语教学的语言环境而言,教育工作者可以创造真实或接近真实的语言环境,如去欧美等国参加冬夏令营或国际会议;在国内与外国友人直接对话;鼓励和组织学生参加各种级别的英语口语大赛;在课堂上尽可能多的营造接近真实的环境等。其二对于口语的“学”而言,学生应注意语言、语用和非语言方面的恰当有效等,从而内外两方面促进学生英语口语能力的提升,以及综合素质的提高。 Tao Xingzhi “teaching to do ” thinking focuses on teaching and learning in practice, from practice, the final teachings should be attributed to practice. This is very enlightenment to the teaching of college oral English. First of all, for the spoken language teaching environment, educators can create real or near real language environment, such as going to winter camps or international conferences in Europe and the United States; direct dialogue with foreign friends in China; encouraging and organizing students to participate in various Level spoken English contest; in the classroom as much as possible to create close to the real environment. Second, for oral “learning ”, students should pay attention to the language, pragmatics and non-verbal aspects of the appropriate and effective, so as to promote both students’ ability to improve oral English and improve overall quality.
