1. Title
Application of Multi-media in Spoken English Teaching
2. Thesis Statement
In recent years, with the deepening of English teaching reform and the development of educational situation in our country, spoken English has become an important part in English learning. As the modern scientific technology is rapidly developing, the English teaching method is constantly changing. Therefore, multi-media is been widespreadly used in spoken English teaching. This study discusses the advantages and disadvantages, and gives some concrete strategies.
3. Purposes and Significance of Study
In recent years it has been argued on both linguistic and psychological grounds that Oral English should be the principal objective in English teaching. To a certain extent, the requirements for the cultivation of Oral English are instant. With the globalization of social life and economy and the development of modern scientific technology, multi-media is been extensively used in oral English. This study will analyze the application of multi-media and concrete methods to apply to.
4. Situation of Study
Krashen (1981) views his opinions that learners learn the second language acquisition (SLA) through language input, and teachers should provide the best language input for students by using multi-media.
The constructivism theory considers that learning is an independent activity closely related to circumstances. Relating to circumstances emphasizes on the reality of study environment. This theory also points out that the study of students is the constructivism of knowledge, content and ability. Furthermore, the process of constructivism is on the basis of existing knowledge. What’s more, it advocates that students should put their knowledge into practice when they are in a real scene.
He Kekang (1997) points out that the efficiency of teaching by using multi-media method is better than traditional teaching method.
The Teaching Syllabus (The Ministry of Education, 2000) stipulates that Band One requires senior school students to retell main ideas based on the general meaning of the passages, and can do some introduction about family, friends, or class by using simple sentences and expressions. Band Two describes that students can answer questions and discuss according to the text efficiently. It also requires students to do daily talk about society, culture and science which related to the text in the textbooks. That is to say, oral English plays an important role in English learning.
5. Difficulty of Study
It is a little bit hard for students to spend some time everyday to practice their spoken English because of the
heavy pressure. Meanwhile, in view of the test-oriented system in China, teachers often emphasize a lot on preparing lesson plans rather than the practice of spoken English for their students. Moreover, many schools cannot use multi-media and the methods that offered in this study cannot be put into practice easily. Collecting the materials and information is another difficult thing for my limited time energy.
