Project Title: A Study of improving the oral English of primary students Investigator Liu Jianzhong Dingxi Branch of Gansu Radio & TV University Submitted on 25th June 2011 In fulfillment of the course Practical Project DesignAcknowledgment I am mostly grateful to my supervisor Ms. Ding with whose support and patience this project have got off the ground. I am also grateful to my workmates in Jiachuan?Primary?School for their time spent on brainstorming and profound discussions with me. No amount of thanks will be adequate for my student without whose willing participation in the project implementation it would have reminded on paper. Last but not the last, big thanks go to my girlfriend who has shared with me my worries, and hopefully my ultimate happiness in eventually finishing this project.Abstract The present study presents a detailed report of a project implemented to solve the problem that most of my students do not like speaking English in class. It is hypothesized that students’ interest and ability in oral practice could be increased by improved teaching design. This hypothesis is verified by a four-week practice of well-organized speaking work activities. Among the methods of scientific investigation used are analytic method and cause analysis. Key words: oral English; speaking practice; activities Main Headings of the Project Report 1. Introduction 2. Project objective 3. Project hypothesis 4. Problem analysis 5. Project rationale 6.
