8、he requirement of speaking. This paper examines the problems of current oral English teaching in high school, and discusses the application of communicative language teaching in oral teaching, and gives some suggestions.Key word：Communicative Language Teaching; oral teaching; problem 1. Introduction

9、1.1 The background of the Communicative Language Teaching With the development of economic globalization and china enter into WTO formally ,As we all know that learn English well is important to future development of China, Chinese people learn English in order to speak it , not for taking examinati

10、ons. However, because oral English has not yet been incorporate into the scope of English test so that most of students and their teachers focus on written tests. As a result, large numbers of Chinese students score high in exams but they are unable to speak English fluently. After studying English

11、for several years, students still remain at a loss when they have to express themselves in English. They may remember a great number of words and idioms, but they can not express themselves appropriately in communication. Faced with this situation, English teacher paid more attention to improve stud

12、ents of speaking ability, but how to improve it? Since early 80s of last century, English teachers in China have been trying to improve their teaching and a new teaching approach in their class. It is Communicative Language Teaching. 1.2 Purpose of the Paper Communicative Language Teaching is a very

13、 significant teaching method in English classroom for senior high school students. It can be used to lead in a class, Help most of student to enhance your interest in learning English, to improve students spoken English. it can be a very effective way for an English teacher in teaching process. Scho

14、lars and teachers from both home and abroad have been trying their best to put forward and use those theories which are related to Communicative Language Teaching for quiet a long period of time. At present, oral English has not yet been incorporate into the scope of English test so that most of stu

15、dents and their teachers focus on written tests, in order to get a higher score in the college entrance examination, students in recent years are shouldering heavier burden from various homework and extra training classes. As a result, large numbers of Chinese students score high in exams but they a

16、re unable to speak English fluently. In order to change this situation, ,this paper analyzed the application of communicative Language Teaching in the English classroom of senior high school and gives out a series of effectiveness and methods improving students oral ability.2. The current situation

17、of senior high school English oral teaching in china In the traditional teaching mode, the center is teacher, the contents are grammar, vocabulary and the activities are practice of sentence types and grammar. The students will gradually be trapped by fear and disgust of this kind of teaching method

18、, additionally Oral English has not yet been incorporate into the scope of English test, Teachers pay attention to English knowledge, neglecting the oral English teaching. Most of the students neglect the importance of oral English, when they are preparing for the college entrance examination; the s

19、enior school students pay more attention on written test scores so that spoken English is ignored. Most of students are owed a good grade but they are unable to speak English fluently. The current situations of senior high school English oral teaching in china are as follows:2.1 lack of natural lang

20、uage environmentLanguage learning can hardly do without specific linguistic context. In China, English as a foreign language, it is bound to lacks authentic language environments. Chinese students learn English only to finish schoolwork; they hardly practice English after class. More students in cla

21、ss results in less communions between students and teachers or students and students. No authentic language contexts, to a certain extent, affected improvement of oral teaching. For language learner, learn English is aim to communication. Only create a real English environment, advocating use of rea

22、l language, we can finally achieve the purpose of improve students English expression ability.2.2 Lack of special oral English teaching Due to the effect of examination system, Oral English has not been included in the test range; Many teachers dont pay attention to the training students oral Englis

23、h, for the sake of finish the teaching objectives and cope with all kinds of usual test, Almost each lesson is used to explain the text, work the exercises, and they focus on vocabulary, sentence patterns and grammar explain, Ignoring the students oral English training. As a result, large numbers of

24、 Chinese students are score high but are unable to speak English fluently. After studying English for several years, students still remain at a loss when they have to express themselves in English. They may remember a great number of words and idioms, and read simple of English article ,but they can

25、 not use them appropriately in communication. After having learned English for many years, many Chinese students cannot speak affluent English yet, only dumb English”.2.3 Students lack confidence in speaking EnglishBecause English foundation of the student is weak, students are insufficient vocabula

26、ry, poor at grammatical patterns, while Oral communication is oral, flexible, communicative, error of openness, which leads to Students lack confidence in speaking English. Some students think that learn oral English is so difficult that they give up many opportunities to practice English. Some stud

27、ents are worried about the errors, or of be criticizing, or losing face, so they are afraid of speaking English. 2.4 Chinese-speaking teaching method In the past few years, Students spend lots of time in learning the phonetic, read the new words and recite the text in the first place, to studying an

28、d improve the pronunciation and intonation. Some students study standard spoken English with the tape recorder; finally, some students still cant speak fluent English. Besides, some of the English teacher stressed the accuracy of spoken English, and correct the mistakes whenever they made, they let

29、the student practice the sentence pattern repeatedly. As a result, it strengthen the students psychological anxiety, students are interest in speaking English is weakened.3. The communicative language teaching in the high school oral English classroomFaced with this situation, Communicative language

30、 teaching is a good way to solve these problems. Communicative language teaching makes use of real-life situations that necessitate communication. The teacher sets up a situation that students are likely to encounter in real life. The real-life simulations change from day to day. Students motivation

31、 to learn comes from their desire to communicate in meaningful ways about meaningful topics. 3.1 The define of Communicative Language TeachingCommunicative Language Teaching (CLT) also called Communicative Approach or Functional Approach, originated from the changes in British language teaching trad

32、ition dating back from the late 1960s. English linguist of Wilkins is the founder of Communicative Language Teaching, Representative also English language educator Alexander and Widdowson. Communicative Language Teaching theory is based on functional linguistics and social linguistics. Stemming from

33、 the socio-cognitive perspectives of the socio-linguistic theory, it aims to make communicative competence the goal of language teaching and develop procedures for the teaching of the four skills that acknowledge the interdependence of language and communication (Richards and Rodgers, 1986). The Com

34、municative Language Teaching aims to helping students use the target language a variety of contexts. It primary focus is to help learners create meaning rather than help them in develop perfect grammar or acquire native-like pronunciation. This means that successfully learning a foreign language is

35、assessed in terms of how learners have developed their communicative competence. Since the concept “communicative competence” was first introduced by Hymens in the mid-1960s, many researchers have helped develop theories and practices of Communicative. In Hymens view, language was considered as a so

36、cial and cognitive phenomenon; syntax and language forms were understood not as autonomous, a contextual structures, but rather as meaning resources used in particular conventional ways and develop through social interaction and assimilation of others speech. Therefore, speakers of a language have t

37、o have more rather grammatical competence in order to be able to communicate effectively in a language; they also need to know how language is used by members of a speech community to accomplish their purposes (Hymes, 1968). Based on this theory, Canal and Swain (1980) later extend the “Communicativ

38、e competence” into four dimensions. In Canal and swain, “Communicative competence” was understood as the underlying systems of knowledge and skill required for communication. From this perspective, what language teachers need to teach is no longer just linguistic competence but also socio-linguistic

39、 competence, discourse competence and strategic competence. Communicative language Teaching is not a single and fixed teaching model; the core content is “using language to learn” and “learning to use language”. To sum up, the Communicative Language Teaching emphasizes that one of the most important

40、 functions of language is communication; therefore, the aim of learning a language is to acquire the competence to conduct effective communication in the target language. Meanwhile, the structure and the function of the target language should be equally treated.3.2 Principles for applying the commun

41、icative language teaching in English teachingAmong the numerous principles of communicative language teaching, there are two pieces of principles, which are more important in Chinas English teaching.First, Create more realistic situation. The current teaching methods dont emphasize the real world si

42、tuation and fail to cultivate students spontaneity. Artificial conventions and mechanical question-and-answer sequences fall short of the flexible, spontaneous kind of communicative interaction required for performing a task with the context of situation relevant to the real world. Such classroom te

43、aching forces learners to talk about things that are not of their own choosing and not based on their actual needs. Second, the class should be students-centered. Communicative approach makes learners to be themselves and requires the classroom instructor to play a secondary role, trying to keep foc

44、us on the students not on him and encouraging students to communicate among themselves. The teacher should allow full scope for his students spontaneous learning process and give more opportunities for the students to talk, perform and express their own ideas. In this way, the students will no longe

45、r feel inferior. Gradually, they will form a positive attitude toward English studying. The role and relationship between the teacher and students are fixed by the students-centered principle. It is to say that the students are the main part in communication, while the teacher helps the students to

46、communicate.3.3 Three stages of communicative language teachingCommunicative language teaching is a good way to improve the students ability of speaking, and it is thought highly by more and more people. Communicative teaching is a very complex process. The teacher can divide the students learning i

47、nto three stages:In the first stage, the teacher is a sort of information - he selects material to be learned and presents it so that the students can understand it and remember it as clearly as possible.The second stage is the practice stage. Mere the students do the talking organized from cue by t

48、he teacher- this practice should be meaningful and memorable.The third stage is often omitted by many teachers. It is a production stage; they should be allowed, under the guidance of the teacher, to use the language freely, even if they make some mistakes as a result. This requires a more flexible

49、attitude from the teachers to mistakes, if the student is constantly stopped and corrected, then eventually he will become discouraged and cease to be motivated to speak. If the students can use the language for themselves, then they become aware that they have learnt something useful and are encour

50、aged to go on learning: perhaps the most important factor is to keep up motivation in the learning process itself.3.4 The application of Communicative Language teaching in the high school English oral classroom Communicative activity provides opportunities for positive personal relationships to deve

51、lop among learners and teachers. These relationships can help to humanize the class and to create environment that supports the individual in his efforts to learn. The application of communicative language teaching in high school English class is as follows: 3.4.1 Group work in communicative activit

52、iesThe teacher sometimes can produce a particular kind of interaction. First of all, the teacher divides the class into seven groups and offers various short-readings, and based on what they read, the students exchange their views and discuss about them, or the teachers give students listening mater

53、ials and interact based on the teachers requirement. In this way, students may work in group to achieve a sense of psychological safety and cooperate to produce affective achievement. 3.4.2 Role-play in communicative language teaching“Role-playing” is one method of getting the students to imagine th

54、ey are someone else and play that part. The teacher may use role play. In the game each student should play a certain role, a certain person under certain circumstance. The teacher should encourage exerting their imagination, playing their role well. Role-play activities are not only for the excelle

55、nt students, but also to others. Especially at the beginning to learn English, teachers must pay more attention to train everyone interests about English. In the role-play activities, teachers should ensure that Everyone has the role, all have a discourse, so that every students English ability has

56、been a different increase in each role-playing activities. Everyones ability is different, so when the teacher gives the task of the role-play, he/she should choose suitable roles to match the most suitable students. Teacher lets invite two students to come in front to act out this dialogue. Student A: Excuse me. I wonder if you could help me. Im looking for the Museum.Student B: Boy, you are lost. Its across town.Student A: Oh! What bad luck! How can I get to the Museum?Student B: You can take a No.24 bus here and then transfer
