Different teaching and learning methods have been put forward in the last century so as to facilitate foreign language learning. In China, foreign language learning, mainly English, has become more and more popular since the Chinese government implemented the policy of “Reform and Opening-up” in the end of the 1970s. However, the whole result of English teaching and learning is not satisfactory in some ways. Chinese students are good at the knowledge of grammar, but weak at its practical usage, especially bad at oral communication. It cannot satisfy the actual social and economic requirements, for Chinese people have had more and more opportunities of communicating with foreigners. As a result, the Chinese State Education Commission has promulgated a series of syllabuses to improve English teaching. Students’ oral communicative competence has been required to give due emphasis. My research is aimed at investigating the actual situation of oral communication in the English classroom in China and students’ attitude towards it. 2 Research
