Concerning English learning, we should focus our attention on listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating. Comparatively speaking, listening and speaking skills are more practical. But how to improve these skills? Everyone knows that the only effective way to improve language skills is to use the language. In reality, however, we know that there are many reasons why people don’t want to speak in another language——they are afraid of making mistakes, they can’t express their real meaning easily, they are shy, they are afraid people will laugh at them. We feel this way sometimes, but if you are sure that you really want to improve your English, try some of the suggestions that have been made here.展开更多

It is one of the effective ways to make young learners understand English. This study describes the effect of using Balinese short stories to teach a class of young learners at Saraswati Primary School in Denpasar. The stories are an effective aid for teaching English as they have beautiful language, rhythmic refrains and repetitive sentence patterns. During the listening lesson, students are given pictures books (content stories) and occasionally they are set to listen to CDs. Various attractive strategies were used to help students acquire listening and speaking skills. After the strategies have been used for one semester, they show significant improvement on the progress of the students in acquiring the listening and speaking skills as shown by progress of the result in the test of listening or speaking展开更多

To test this model, we've conducted an experiment on a campus-network-based listening and speaking course with 869 students from the NAAU since the 2005-2006 academic years. It has been proved that the new model enjoys great advantages over the conventional teacher-and-recorder teaching, though it is not thoroughly free from limitations or problems. On the one hand, this new model may provide students with authentic language sample, richer materials, interactive platform, friendly context, ect; on the other hand, factors such as costly hardware and software, non-stopping changes, lack of talents and inadequate funds are all preventing it from playing its role to full extent. Thus counter measures should be taken as soon as possible to break the bottleneck restricting the model from further development.展开更多
