Enhance Students’ Interest in Oral English 论文中文摘要 兴趣是学习任何知识的一个重要的前提条件。学习英语口语也是如此。然而笔者通过对22名中学生的问卷调查发现，有些中学生对口语学并不感兴趣。通过分析，发现问题主要是出在教学者的“教学设计”上主要问题有：1.没有让学生明确口语学习的目的；2.没有帮学生理清口语学习与英语学习的关系；3.没有设计出一套切实可行的教学方案。依据有关英语教学理论，笔者剖析了以往的口语教学活动，提出了通过改善教学设计来增加学生对口语的学习兴趣。笔者设计并实施了为期4周的，以 “PPP”( Presentation, Practice, Production)为理论模式，以“information-gap activity”为主要形式的实验性教学，并取得了令人鼓舞的结果：参加教学实验的多数同学都开始喜欢口语学习了。通过对比两次问卷调查的，喜欢口语训练的学生的比例由44.5% 提高到了70.1%，说明研究结果。通过本项目的研究和实施，可以提高学生对口语学习重要性的认识，明确口语学习的目的，掌握口语学习的具体方法，特别是尝试长期困扰许多中学生的所谓“口语训练与语法考试的矛盾”“口语训练对考试帮助不大”的认识上的偏差。笔者希望 本次项目研究可以类似教学问题的中学教师，抓住口语教学的实质，科学设计口语教学，有效地组织课堂激发学生的学习兴趣切实提高中学生的英语口语能力。Abstract This project is about how to enhance the students’ interest in doing oral practice. Interest is the best teacher. Students can be motivated by their interest that is also one of the important elements to ensure the success of oral teaching. But in my teaching, I’ve found that some students are not interested in oral practice. So a questionnaire survey was done, the results of which shows that how I used to teach is mainly responsible for students’ lack of interest in oral practice. I failed to give the students a clear goal of speaking; I offered little help to the students about the relationship between speaking and the development for the other English learning skills; Above all, I did not have well-designed oral-teaching plan and the oral work was not quite interesting. To change the situation, I decided to carry out a 4-week research on 22 middle school students with a hypothesis that learners’ interest in oral practice will be greatly increased by better oral work design. During the research PPP model was adopted with information-gap activity as the main type of task. By comparing the results of pre-project questionnaire and post-project questionnaire, it is found that most of my students started to like oral practice, which is really encouraging. Apparently, the results are consistent with my initial hypothesis, because the percentage of th
