In-Class Practice of Oral English for College StudentsSpoken English is very important for college students. But among all the language skills, students’ speaking ability has been neglected for a rather long time. When the students successfully passed the College Entrance Examinations, they may have been well prepared for college English study only in reading, writing, maybe listening, but most probably, not in speaking. The English teachers must provide them with proper materials for speaking ability training. We have to nurture both their interest and courage, and push them forward step by step. Since the oral practice must be arranged in English class most of the time (because we have to check and help with their performance in time), the teachers should prepare proper materials and try their best to get the students involved, and the students should make full use of English classes. So that they may be able to communicate with foreigners in English if they choose to further their study abroad or work with foreign colleagues in some international companies after graduation.
