英语口语精华资料大全
英语作为一门实用性很强的学科，英语的学习成果直接体现
在 信息的交流上。而信息的交流又集中表现为口语的运用。因此
英语口语能力的提高既是英语学习的必然要 求，也是社会、国家
衡量人才合格与否的重要标准。
一般来说，衡量一个人英语口头表达能力主要看以下几个方
面：
①语言的准确性（accuracy）和得体性（appropriateness）；
②语 音（pronunciation）、语调（intonation）是否正确，口齿
是否清楚；
③话语组织（discourse management）是否合理；（4）口语表
达的流利程度（fluency）；（
④语法（grammar）是否正确，用词是否恰当，语言是否符合
英语表达习惯。
这些是衡量英语会话能力的主要标准，针对这些标准，要提
高英语口头表达能力，就要采取相应的训练方 法，方法恰当了，
就能起到事半功倍的效果。
那么如何提高口语能力呢？英语学好英语口语，你应做到以
下几个方面：
1.一定的词汇量是英语口语的基础。 我们与人交流的前提是
要听懂别人在讲什么，因此我们 在英语口语的练习中首先要注意
词汇量的积累。其方式多样，如阅读、做题、听录音、看录像或
1

原文电影等，来扩大词汇量、掌握英语的习惯表达方式，扩大知
识面和训练英语 逻辑思维能力。这些训练，可使我们熟练掌握常
用的词组、短语等。只有熟练，会话才能流利，与人交流 才能不
假思索地脱口而出。
2. 通过中西文化及语言的差异比较，设计日常口语会话情景，
训练日常口语会话。 要熟练掌握日常口语会 话，就必须掌握范
围广阔的、基本得当的日常用语，如怎样表示想与陌生人交谈；
怎样表示喜爱 与厌恶，赞同与异议；怎样问路与指路等。自己设
计情景，组织会话，并进行反复实践。在实践中仔细对 比英语语
言习惯、规律，文化背景等与汉语不同的地方，只有掌握了英语
的语言文化才能更好地 理解和运用英语。
3. 通过对日常生活题材的讨论，逐步提高语言的组织能力。
对日常生 活题材的讨论是我们训练口语能力的一个重要阶段。在
这个阶段中，我们通过参加多种形式的讨论活动与 交流扩大知识
面，促进思维能力及驾驭语言的能力。
4. 创造一个适当的语言环境。只有处 于适当的语言环境中，
语言的学习才能达到最好的效果。在平时的学习生活中，我们应
寻找一切 机会，有意识地锻炼自己听和说方面的能力，坚持和有
决心学英语的同伴每天用英语对话二三十分钟，让 对方指出自己
常犯的错误。其次应多听英语磁带，英语广播，多参加英语沙龙
和组织英语讨论， 多接触英语读物，造成潜意识的“听”和“说”
训练，有助于矫正口音上的偏误。除以上所提方法之外， 还可参
2

加英语角、英语俱乐部、英语演讲比赛、英语知识竞赛等各种活
动。这些活动能在不自觉中增强我们对英语的学习兴趣，营造培
养口语技能的良好环境，在不知不觉中提 高我们的英语口语水平。
5. 听力的培养不可忽视。 听与说是一种相辅相成的关系，听
不明白就会给交流带来很大的麻烦。
我们可通过进行大量模仿、背诵、复述等训练正确的语音、
语调，提高流利程度，培养英语语感
总之，英语的口语学习是长期的但不必是艰苦的，只要掌握
良好的学习方法加之努力必将学有所 成。
