n mentioned above, students should understand that spoken English carries a lot of weight with English learning than ever before, but the present situation in China is far from satisfactory. There are several reasons. First, students haven't paid enough attention to oral English. Second, teachers haven’t made much progress in improving their teaching methods. Third, students misunderstand what is spoken English and haven’t had proper ways of learning spoken English.
It is very clear that interest is the best teacher of learning spoken English. Teachers should try to stimulate the students' interest through strengthening their own abilities and giving students more encouragement with great patience, because teachers are not only instructors but also the friends of their students. However, students are the subject of learning and they should depend on their own efforts. Under the guidance of teachers, students should do their best to improve the English ability. The best way for them is to cultivate interest and motivation of speaking English, and do more practice.
As for learning English, imitation could be the basic skill. The first and the most important step is to speak more English both in and out of class. And thinking in English could be the toughest part of refining one's oral English. Practice makes perfect, and students should believe that as long as they try their best, certainly they will make still greater progress and get the best results in the shortest possible time.
It is a good thing that more and more students have been aware of the importance of spoken English nowadays. All the English teachers should keep on making efforts on the cultivation of students’ spoken English ability.
