语块理论在英语口语教学中的应用 Application of the Lexical Chunks to the Oral English Teaching Abstract It is widely recognized that lexical chunks play an important role in second language acquisition. Lexical chunks are set of language parts which appear in a high frequency in natural language. Lexical chunks are phrases or some syntactic structures on the sentence level and are featured by a high degree of fixed structure and meaning. These lexical chunks are stored in the human in form of the whole and can help to turn the complex syntactic analysis into relatively simple chunk processing, thus facilitate language processing and use and ease the pressure of language production. As a result, language learners’ oral English proficiency can be greatly improved. The theory of lexical chunks in the teaching emphasis on language input that combined with the specific context, not simple form of language teaching, but the complementary development of communicative approach, is a new way of spoken English teaching. So in order to improve the students’ spoken English in fluency and accuracy, we should make students play their subjective initiative, accumulate more lexical chunks, use the language frequently in oral English teaching.
