Abstract
For a long time, English teaching in China has stressed the “instillation” of language, but neglected the application of language, especially the development of the spoken language ability. In recent years, in spite of the implementation of the new secondary English curriculum standards, the situation has not fundamentally changed. There are many problems aroused from, namely, the educational system, the teachers and the students themselves. This article probes into the actuality of current oral English teaching, poses some ways to improve the spoken English teaching according to the demands of the development. The paper emphasizes the change of the teaching activities from the teacher-centered to student-centered, and the teaching scene will be expanded mainly from the classroom to daily life, to develop students’ English competence.

摘 要
长期以来，中国英语教学强调语言知识灌输而忽视了语言的应用，特别是对英语口语能力的培养。最近几年，在执行新的《中学英语课程标准》后，情况也未得到根本改变。原因是多方面的，主要有来自教育制度方面的原因、有来自教师方面的原因以及学生自身的原因。本文对这三个方面原因做探讨，并依据时代发展要求提出改进英语口语教学现状的办法。文中强调在教学活动中将以老师为中心转化为以学生为中心，以课本为主线使教学材料更加生活化，发展学生的英语综合应用能力。
