This research used a questionnaire survey to collect data from 146 college students from different grades, majors, universities and areas. The result shows that the deficiency in college students＇ English oral expression ability can be explained on two levels, spiritual level and oral level. Spiritual level shows that college students don＇t always have thoughts while others are communicating with them in English; oral level includes two aspects, one is that they always have no idea of how to express their thoughts well and the other is that they fail to always express themselves clearly and exactly. It is suggested that a good language environment is necessary for students to practice English pronunciation, understand culture from English speaking countries, and enhance listening skill to overcome language anxiety in communication.展开更多

With the renewal of educational concepts and the intense competition, higher vocational colleges, on the basis of improving students' skills, further emphasize the use of Putonghua teaching to improve students' oral expression ability, so as to better adapt to the future employment and employment environment. This paper analyzes the importance of improving higher vocational students' oral expression ability. Aiming at the current problems and causes of students' oral expression ability, it explores effectively how to improve higher vocational students' oral expression ability from improving teaching objectives, increasing class hours, making good use of teaching resources, selecting training methods and establishing evaluation principles.展开更多
