摘要

随着全球化进程的加快，英语作为世界语言,被广为接受并屡屡运用于国际场合。因而,学好英语，特别是口语对于学生而言至关重要。英语教学一直以来是中国教育的重点，而提高学生的英语口语水平则是英语教学的重要目标之一。
    针对这样的现状，教师应该反思传统的教学模式，思考中国的英语教学存在的问题，并采取高效的教学法以突破第二语言学习的瓶颈。
该论文在分析我国中学英语口语教学现状及问题的基础上，试图运用James J. Asher的全身反应教学法来解决英语口语的教学问题。本文作者着力于证明该教学法在初中口语教学中的诸多优点及其发挥的重要作用，并提供出该教学法在课内外英语口语教学中的具体运用方法，使之适用于初中口语教学。
