　　I. Introduction
　　As we enter the 21st century， the communication between China and the world is more frequent than ever before， and the significance of oral English becomes evident. It is the demand of the society to train the students’ preliminary ability of oral English in vocational art schools， and also can promote the communication and the development of art and culture.
　　II. Analysis of the present situation of oral English teaching
　　In the current English classes， the traditional oral English teaching methods are still being implemented in the course of in China and are still playing a very important role. These methods have emphasized getting knowledge of English language itself rather than using the language for communicative purposes. They tend to be teacher-centered， examination-oriented， grammar-oriented and vocabulary-based methods due to the complex reasons of the present society， and each oral English teaching method holds its own viewpoints.
　　Nonetheless， they ignore a truth that it may train a lot of students who are unable to face and deal with the problems in the actual situations. As a consequence， the students consider oral English as the most difficult course and lose the confidence of learning it， which cause the vicious circle in oral English learning.
