- Abstract
Economic globalization has brought people around the world closer and English has become significantly important as the key to communicate effectively with other global citizens. The globalization trend has required countries in the world to educate more future generations who have good oral English proficiency to be able to communicate effectively in all context, including China. However, Chinese students’ oral English proficiency remain low in general despite the increasing demands. Thus, this paper reviews the problems and the solutions in middle school oral English teaching in China in order to shed lights on policy makers, schools, and parents on how to improve Chinese students’ oral English proficiency to meet the challenges brought by the economic globalization. The problems were presented in three aspects: the problems of teaching, the problems of students and the problem of lacking speaking environment. The current research conclusions mainly focus on how teachers improve teaching methods and guide students such as: improving teaching ability, providing more opportunities for students to practice English and attaching more importance to the teaching of phonetic alphabet and phonics. Solutions on particular problems indicated are also provided in the following areas: teachers’ teaching methods and teachers’ supports on students. Suggestions for future development are also provided.
