摘  要

语言是人们用于沟通的重要工具之一，要想掌握一门语言，最重要的是运用，而这种语言的运用就体现在交流。但是更多的学生、家长、老师在乎所谓的考试。在21世纪的今天，社会生活和经济全球化在中国改革开放的政策下，信息正在快速发展，中国和其他很多国家有了越来越多的合作。因此，这就要求我们国家拥有很多具有丰富知识的人，超强的信息理解能力，和更高的英语水平。其中，英语口语非常重要。但是在现今的中小学英语教学中，学校远远还没有意识到这一目标。在中国，大多数的中小学学生英语口语交际能力很差。所以导致在高中的老师和学生产生了“哑巴英语”。语言是一种声音符号，人们以此来相互沟通。会说一门外语也就意味着掌握这门外语。该篇论文运用查阅资料，调查研究的方法，在以往中外学者提出的英语口语教学弊端的基础上，呈现几种有效的改善策略。增强学生学习英语的兴趣，从而提高学生学习英语的积极性和主动性。
