在英语学习当中怎样提高大学生的交际能力
摘要:当今中国的英语教育存在很多问题,比如:“哑巴英语”和“低效率学习”。为什么我们不能做出一些改变呢?我们没有注意到中国大多数学生胆小和拘谨的性格。因此,很多学生有很强的应对考试的能力却没有能够很好的于他人用英语交流的能力。这篇文章就是想针对以上问题研究出一些解决问题的方法。其中一个可行的方法是采取交流语言教学法,可以缩短教室语言教学和实际生活语言运用的距离。这篇论文清楚地阐述了一些对于中国学生如何提高他们英语交流能力的方法。我将以搜集资料、研究资料、举例说明等方法来写这篇文章。这篇论文是一个解决存在于中国教师和学生之间的障碍的尝试,而且希望以后会变成对于英语交流能力提高的有积极和有效作用的文章。我们必须记住,学语言是为了交流。我下面会用英语教学作为一个例子来介绍我的观点,我将把重点放在大学英语教学上。

How to Improve Communicative Competence of College Students in English Learning
Abstract :There exist some problems in spoken English class in China today, such as: "dumb English" and "low efficiency". Why can’t we make some changes? We do not notice the personal characteristics of most Chinese students such as timidity and constrain. Hence, the students will have a strong ability to deal with examinations, but have a poor competence in dealing with communication with others. This paper wants to find some solutions of the above problems. One possible solution to bridge the gap between the classroom language teaching and real life language use is the adoption of communicative language teaching. The paper applies some tangible measures for the Chinese students to develop their abilities to communicate in English. I will gather some information at the first time, and then do some researches according to the information, at last give some examples to express my opinions. The paper is an attempt at overcoming the obstacles existing between the Chinese teachers and students, and enabling the latter to become active and proficient in communicating in English. We must remember that language is learned to communicating. I will use English teaching as an example to introduce my opinion and put my emphasis on college English teaching.
