31、 junior students spoken english as an english teacher3.1 trying to create a favorable language environment in classit is wellknown to us all that the largest difference between mother language learning and foreign language learning is the environmenta child can soon learn his mother language wellhe

32、learns to say something after he has heard a lotbefore he goes to school，he has already been a good speaker. but for a foreign language，most junior students meet it only in formal places，classes，for exampleotherwise，they can hardly have a chance to meet itso the classroom teaching is one of the most

33、 important ways that junior students learn to speak englishteachers should try their best to organize the classroom teaching in english as much as possible and communicate with junior students in simple englishalso teachers should try to create english situation in class since its nearly impossible

34、for junior students to get in touch with foreigners frequentlyfor instance，lesson 58 of book 2 is about making a telephone callbefore class，i asked every student to take a toy telephone to the classroomthen i told them to make up their own dialogues and act them out by themselvessome of them make di

35、alogues like this：a：hello! 2727147!b：hello! may i speak to lingling please?a：sorry, shes outwho is it calling?b：fan fan. could you ask lingling to call me, please? my phone number is 2615388.a：ok2615388.b：thank you very muchbye!a：its a pleasurebye!in class，the students acted out their dialogues vivi

36、dly. they all concentrated highly on practicing and actingthese good languages not only help the junior students master how to make a phone call. but also train their ability to express their own opinions. they will find that it is not so difficult to speak english3.2 building up junior students con

37、fidence and arousing their interest of learning englisheinstein once said“interest is the best teacher” it is true that interest is the key to learning a foreign languageit can arouse their desire of learning，drive them to study and correct their attitude towards studyas a english teacher, its your

38、responsibility to arouse junior students interest of learning englishso english classes should be proceed lively and interestingfor example，once i taught the model verbs“can”and“cant”, i pretended to be hurt in the arm，and said when 1 went into the classroom，“just now i fell off the bike and my arm

39、got hurti cant write now”when i spoke of“can”i intentionally repeated it several times，then i said to a junior student with glasses，“can you see the sentence on the blackboard clearly?”the student answered，“yes，i can”then i said to him，“now take off your glasses，pleasecan you see the sentence on the

40、 blackboard clearly now?”the junior student answered, “no，i cant.”if you teach in this way in english classes，i think，the students are sure to be interested in what the teacher saysit can cultivate their interest and abilityteachers should encourage junior students in time when they have made progre

41、ssin class，when the junior students answer the questions correctly, you must express our satisfaction with“well done!”“very good!”“excellent!”or“youre very clever!”when the students are slow in answering the questions，you should be patient enough to help them outeven when they cant answer the questi

42、ons，you should remember to say“dont be nervoustake it easy!”“have a guess，its ok even if you get it wrong”or“try next time! i think you will do it better”these will encourage the junior students greatly and help build up their confidencethey will still want to be volunteers to answer questions next

43、timeyou shouldnt get angry and blame themif we do so，students will be unwilling to take part in any communicative activities againas to those who are weak in english，dont look down upon themyou must give them more care and encourage them to study hard and urge them to continue making effortshelp the

44、m a lot and praise them even if they have made a little progressif you do so, they will study harder than before.3.3 efficient methods to improve junior students spoken englishjust like learning ones mother language，a person must learn a foreign language by imitatingthats to say, he should practice

45、more speaking，more reading and more listeningfrom another point of view, oral english and written english complement each otherin my teaching experience，i have tried the following approaches that proved efficient in improving junior students spoken english3.3.1 duty. reportduty report is generally d

46、one by one or two students on duty at the beginning of an english classthe junior students should face the whole class while talkingthe contents of the report are free，for instance，their daily life，likes and dislikes，a funny story, an important newsteachers can also choose some suitable topics for j

47、unior studentsbut the topics must be fit for junior students level and tastesensure that every student must take part in the activityto those who have difficulty in expressing their opinions，teachers should help them if necessaryalthough the whole report only lasts three minutes or more，it can play

48、a very important role in improving junior students spoken englishit can also arouse their wide interest. its a good device of reinforcement3.3.2 role-playwhat is role-play? when students assume a role，they play a part （either their own or somebody elses in a specific situation）in our junior middle s

49、chool english textbooks，most of the texts are complied in the forms of dialogues，stories，and plays. so it is possible for teachers to ask the students to practice english according to the characteristicsrole play activity may be done in the following procedure：firstly，choose the suitable dialogue or

50、 play, which the junior students are likely to encounter in their present or future communicationsfor example，shopping，making appointments，seeing a doctor, talking about a concert，asking the way and so onsecondly，give the role cards to the students so as to let them know what to dothirdly，allow them

51、 a few minutes to prepareand finally, the role play activity beginsin the course of demonstration，the students can use any phrases，idioms and sentence patterns theyve learnedwhether the performance is good or not，it will successfully create light atmosphere and make the students learn spoken english

52、 in entertainmentthere is a saying by franklin，“tell me，and ill forgetteach me and i11 rememberinvolve me and ill learn”for instance，i once asked some students to act out the story a question of pronunciation in classit was very interesting funny and successfulafter a few years，the students told me

53、that they still remembered the situation quite clearly3.3.3 group workto work in small groups allows students to talk more informally and it also fosters a sense of cooperation in the classroomyou may assign students groups or allow them to choose their ownthe easiest way to form groups is to have j

54、unior students who are sitting near each other pull their chairs togetherhowever, to ensure that the groups arent always the samebefore beginning the activity, be sure that everyone understands the meaning of the new words and knows hoe to proceedif anyone is unsure，you can explain the new words and

55、 present a sample activity with a few students helponce the students are in group，help them choose a group reporter to report back to the classyou may also wish to assign a group leader whose job is to keep everyone involved in the task at handby having students work in small groups，you increase the

56、 amount of timejunior students are actually using the langue they have just learnedthis makes the english vivid and activeand it also helps prevent boredom and provides a lot of practice in a short amount of timeso it is a useful way to train junior students spoken english待添加的隐藏文字内容23.3.4 text retel

57、ling or story tellingretelling is an effective method to carry out oral practiceafter learning a text, junior students can try to rewrite the whole text or story into their own wordsand then they tell the other students in classor they may get some other materials and recast them into storiesthis ca

58、n benefit not only in written but also orallyfor instanceafter learning unit 8 of book 3 the pan，i asked the junior students to change the play into a story“borrowing a pan”they are required to say result，and what happenedhere is an example：one day, a farmer arrived at a woman househe borrowed a pan from hervery soon he return
