The present situation of students ' oral English expression ability in higher vocational college

Although the higher vocational students have been learning English for many years, they have a certain foundation of English, however, because of the influence of various reasons, the students ' ability of oral English expression is not optimistic, the specific performance of the following points.

(i) weak English base

Most of the higher vocational students of the college entrance examination results are poor, although they after years of English study, but, by the traditional test-oriented education concept of influence, mostly for examination results and in the effort to learn English, which led to their English learning has two situations: first, learning motivation is not clear. Students are to study for the exam, they do not feel that English is any use, but also do not think that their future work will be used in English, therefore, learning English is passive, the last resort, learning motivation is not clear. Second, "Dumb English" is very obvious. Many students use the time to do problems, recite words, learn grammar, and ignore the practice of oral English, resulting in students can only write, can do the problem, can test, but do not speak English, dare not speak English, English practice ability, communication skills are very poor, which has become a lot of high vocational students can not break through the "bottleneck."

(b) The level of oral English is uneven

Many of the higher vocational students are from rural, even remote areas, although also received many years of education, but in fact, rural education facilities are relatively weak, insufficient teachers, leading to the relative backwardness of education, which led to the students ' spoken English level by the impact of the educational environment, uneven: On the one hand, Students do not have a good language learning environment for oral practice, which leads students to dare not speak English. On the other hand, students are wrongly affected and have more oral errors. Many rural English teachers own pronunciation is not standard, and the students do not have a systematic voice education, resulting in students to identify obstacles, in the teacher's influence, the students voice intonation is inaccurate, the phonetic form is unclear, the level of oral English is not high. At the same time, many students are also affected by the local accent, the English pronunciation is extremely nonstandard, also is the oral expression barrier.

(iii) Lack of learning motivation and self-confidence

"Interest is the best teacher." But many higher vocational students have no interest in English learning at all, they just to complete the task of learning, the heart of it does not want to learn English, and even very tired of learning English. Therefore, they are in class are perfunctory deal with, bite the bullet to learn, so no enthusiasm, initiative learning at all without any gains, not to mention the self-confidence of learning, there is no, also led to the students did not express the desire, oral English practice became a paper empty talk.

Second, the concrete countermeasures of cultivating the students ' oral English ability in higher vocational colleges

The various shortcomings of the students ' oral expression ability in higher vocational colleges have adverse effects on the students going to the society and working positions, so the English teachers must study the students ' reality and discuss the concrete countermeasures to improve the students ' oral expression ability.

Psychological research shows that motivation is closely related to demand and motivation. If people have the need, hope to get something, it will generate the motivation to obtain, this is the starting point of motivation, if the teacher grasp the students of this mentality, it will enable students to learn English in the internal driving force, so that students to their own needs of the goal forward, until the success, to obtain psychological satisfaction. To inspire people's psychological motivation, motivate people to keep in a state of excitement, creatively carry out a certain behavior and generate a strong driving force this is the process of encouragement, through the encouragement of teaching, can stimulate students ' interest in learning, arouse students ' enthusiasm and initiative, So that they actively participate in English learning. Thus, motivation plays an inestimable role in English learning today.

Mother-Tongue thinking is one of the most important factors affecting oral English expression. Many students want to express, always through the mother-tongue thinking translated into English language, resulting in grammatical errors, the formation of Chinese-style English. The main reason is because: first, students in the daily life of the most contact is Chinese, not English, deep-rooted Chinese thinking. They are just a few 10 minutes in the classroom to learn English, application of English, lack of a good English learning environment. Second, the students on the content of English learning is limited, extracurricular reading is not much, resulting in students to understand the language of English is not deep, the history of English-speaking countries, social background, customs, social contacts and other less, these are the students listening comprehension and oral expression caused a great impact.

(iii) Strengthen the training of oral expression and improve the level of students ' oral mastery

"The paper came to light, and we knew it was going to be preach." "We want to let students have more hands-on, practical dialogue opportunities, so that students develop a large number of oral communication training, in the actual combat gradually improve the ability of students to control the language." To this end we use good classroom teaching time, in English to teach, encourage students to use English, more speak English, in addition to pay attention to the development of extracurricular learning space. Extracurricular has a broader resource and platform, the same is the students to learn English, improve the level of the important position of oral. We can use spare time to organize students to carry out rich extracurricular activities, such as debate, performance, and so on, at this time also to lead students out of the campus, into the community, so that students really participate in the work, so that students more attention to the spoken language, more conducive to the improvement of the level of oral English students.

In a word, oral expression is an important part of students ' English comprehensive ability, for higher vocational students, mastering spoken English ability can lay a solid foundation for future work.
