初中口语交际教学法初探

学生：刘玲 指导教师：龙小湧（讲师）

摘要：交际教学法被引入中国已经有相当长一段时间,其在中国只是初具模型，但越来越多的中国英语教师开始采用交际教学法进行教学，特别是口语教学。本文旨在探究交际教学法对于口语教学的价值及其在初中口语教学中的有效运用。作为一种先进而实用的教学法,交际教学法对于中国这个不是以英语作为本国语的国家来说显得更有价值。有效利用它不但能够创设好英语学习环境与氛围，还能激发学生学生兴趣，引导学生克服学习英语的障碍和恐惧心理。它还要求老师做到不断充实自己，提升自我水平（专业知识水平及教学技能），从而不断地鞭策着老师们提高自身素质。这样一种对学生学习英语、对老师教学不断促进的一种教学法在英语教学中占有极其重要的地位，其特点、价值、运用策略等颇有深入探究的必要。

PartⅠ The Significance, Current situation of Oral English

1.1 The Significance of Oral English for Junior School Students

Because of the limit of language environment, Chinese students have to spend much energy on class in English study but not in daily life. And junior middle schools’ students have the strong demand of learning oral English. With the notable change of junior students’ physiology and psychology, their intelligence has developed much. This intellectual progress is reflected in two aspects: quantity and quality. The change which is reflected in quantity majorly comes from junior middle school’s students basic intelligence factors ( such as speech，perception, , memory, imagination and the further improved thinking ability )which can make them more easily, more quickly and more effectively, to complete a variety of cognitive tasks. According to Piaget (J. Piaget)’s division on individual intellectual development stage , junior high school stage is the form of ' operational ' phase ( 12--15 ). The main characteristics of this stage of thinking is that they can put things in the form and content separately in mind, use formal operation to solve logical subjects such as combination, contains, proportion, exclude, probability and factor analysis with leaving a specific object and depending on the hypothesis of logical inference. Zhu Zhixian also thinks that the junior middle schools’ students’ thinking activity is characterized by abstract logical thinking, but sometimes the concrete thinking part plays a part. Oral English teaching meet the junior middle school students’ urgent and appropriate need of learning. Teachers arouse students’ speech perception, memory, imagination and thinking ability to improve students' oral English learning ability. In the formal operational stage, junior high school students can correctly practice speaking and hypothesis creative language environment. Oral English teaching at this time is very critical and urgent to improve in students entire study life.

1.2 The Current Situation of Oral English

1.2.1 The limitations of their own condition

Because of junior high school students' small master of the vocabulary and the limited application ability of the words have learned, so even some students have the desire of showing themselves, but their knowledge was not enough to support that they can express themself well, then he lost interest in oral English. They feel that with losing face in the class, they prefer giving up the chance rather than making a fool of theirselves. Especially those students who are normally in bad study often couldn't speak a complete English sentence within a long time. It is visible that class oral practice is facing many difficulties.

1.2.2 Be afraid of making mistakes

Why when foreign students learning Chinese, writing is more difficult than oral, while Chinese students learning English, they can not overcome the oral obstacle? The most important reason is that Chinese students take "face" too seriously, many students always have a fear psychology in speaking English: be afraid of making mistakes, being blamed by the teacher and being sneered at by students. This fear often leads to students' anxiety and stress in oral English expression, which affects their normal thinking and smooth expression.

1.2.3 The lack of necessary language environment

Jess's "(Jesperson) said, teaching a foreign language well, the first condition is making students contact with and use foreign language as fas as possible. But by limitations, our Chinese students are learning English in Chinese environment, the opportunity of contacting the real English communication scene is very limited. In addition to several sections of the weekly English class, there are few opportunities for spoken English. The students' a little hearing and speaking training in class is also hard to get a foothold outside. And at present most English class lacks the atmosphere and occasions of using the target language. Oral English training tends to be the mechanical practice and in the control of the teacher which leads to the lack of thought, information and emotional communication between teachers and students. In such an environment, the students' communicative ability is difficult to have substantial increase.

1.2.4 Ignore the importance of oral practice

Because the present English exam still give priority to written examination, the purpose of many students learning English is to deal with the mid-term exam and the university entrance exam. But now in the "two test" have not spoken English tests, so students commonly think that oral English training is a waste of time. In fact, many middle school teachers agree on this view. In order to pursue the graduation rate, the teaching in class give priority to just teaching, the homework is copied and copied again, practice and practice, a material like hills, subjects as the sea, so that the students are overwhelmed, even have no time to practice oral English. Students' knowledge of English vocabulary and grammatical structure is recited, not spoken. Many students can not use English flexibly, lacking of language sense and practice. Although the reform of the teaching outline is more prominent in oral English training, but the phenomenon of " put old wine in new wineskins " phenomenon is still common. The emphasis of teaching is still in teaching grammar, and the new teaching material of oral English activities are ignored by the teachers and students. The result is "dumb" English phenomenon-students can only write English, can not speak English.

1.2.5 Teachers' spoken English level is low

At present, many high school English teachers' spoken English level is low, especially in rural areas, a significant number of teachers' English is "become a monk or nun late in life". They never accepted the system of English training even with pronunciation, intonation being not accurately. This caused ill effect to the students in the stage of imitation. Due to their low level of oral English, the teachers can't teach in English fluently and freely which is very harmful to the training of the students' speaking ability.

1.2.6 The lack of interests in studying English

For many junior middle school students, English is a new language. They are easy to fear the English language, especially after a few times of being asked by the teacher and being embarrassing or the several times of not ideal exam, they will think it is hard to climb the mountain of English, hence then they lost interest in learning English. They don't want to remember the words. Hearing "spelling", they will feel fear, Less willing to recite the text, feeling it a boring job. As time pass by, their "debt" become more and more. The result is that when part of the students seeing English textbooks they seem to see the "abstruse writing''. In teaching practice, I found such a phenomenon: when reported words some students take out book to prepare for accepting the punishment, they would rather copy the words again and again than memorize then in advance. Survey also suggests that high school students generally don't like to learn English, and are afraid to speak English more. The importance and significance of oral English in 191 total 192 foreign language teaching and research and junior middle school' likes a mirror, it can reflect a person's comprehensive quality. How will your ability to be presented in front of everyone, how to let others know you better? It will need to make use of oral English ability. But English as a language, its essence purpose is communication. The first feature of language is oral English, " listening and saying first, reading and writing following" is one of the most important principle in English teaching. Making each of the students be able to speak English is the primary task of the English teaching.

Part II The Definition, Features, And Current Situation of The Communicative Language Teaching

2.1 The Definition and the development of communicative Language Teaching

The Communicative Approach also known as the Functional Approach or the Functional—notional Approach)，based on sociolinguistics and functional linguistics and focus on training the communicative competence of foreign language teaching .It has great impact on foreign language teaching in the word. The doctrine of communicative competence is the core of communicative English teaching. Communication school think that the purpose of language teaching is to cultivate students’ ability to use the target language. Language teaching includes not only the language structure, but also the commonly used statements which is the expression of ideas and
