　　当今世界，社会生活的信息化和经济活动的全球化使外语，特别是英语，日益成为我国对外开放和与各国交往的重要工具。可是，现在中学英语教学仍存在这样一种现象：教师滔滔不绝地向学生讲授语法知识，然后进行大量的题型训练。结果学生考试时立即两眼发光，一旦开口，立马变成“哑巴 ”。
　　英语是一门语言，是用来交际的，所以口语能力的表达显得尤为重要。那么应如何在各个板块中渗透培养学生英语口语能力呢？
　　一、在COMIC STRIP和WELCOME TO THE UNIT 板块中创造良好氛围，使学生对口语产生兴趣
　　说的过程是一个主动、积极表达的过程。作为英语教师，必须深入研究如何调动学生说英语的主动性、积极性，让学生愿意开口并大胆地说英语。如八（上）第五单元，话题为WILD ANIMALS，我们可以先从WELCOME TO THE UNIT 入手，呈现一个个动物的可爱形象，Who can describe their appearances？ For example ，fur， tails，body，and so on. 大概安静了十秒钟后，一双双小手举起来了，Dolphings are grey. They have small eyes and a little big head. They seem to have smoothy skin.but I am not sure. If I have a chance， I want to feel it.oh ，I am afraid. Maybe I don’t dare to do it. Squirrels are a little small. They have big tails and small bodies.Their fur is a little soft. I have felt it. It makes me feel comfortable. It’s true. They have two big teeth， they make them look a little ugly. I don’t like that. They are so small that you can’t find them easily when they are in the tree， if you are not careful enough. 下面的话题内容就更多了，What is your favourite animal？ Why？ 课堂上像炸开了锅，同学们立即与自己的partners用英语热烈的谈论起来。
　　二、在Reading中通过interview和report的方式让学生“活”起来
　　在八上第五单元的Reading（2）中，我先通过interview的方式，分别对XiWang， XiWang’s mother， hunter， farmer，， the officer 进行interview， 详细而又传神地了解他们的情况。 一个神气活现的记者上场了，XIWANG is not a baby panda any more， he is a strong and handsome boy panda.
　　S1： Hello， Mr Xiwang ， can you introduce yourself？
　　Xiwang ： Ok. I heard that when I was born， I looked like a white mouse. When I was four months old， I weighed about eight kilograms and I started to go outside for the first time. I saw the big and green bamboo forest. It smells nice. I wanted to have a taste. But my mother said that I was not old enough to eat it. I drank my mother’s milk for six months. After that.，I began to eat the bamboo roots and bamboo leaves. When I was one year old， I weighed over 35 kilograms. I am so strong. Eight months later， I have to look after myself because my mother had another baby.（动作夸张的描述）My mother did so much for me，she worked so hard that I thanked her very much. I will look after her when she was old.（思想品德教育效果达到了，同学们沉思后鼓掌）。Ts： Xiwang’s mother first smiled at xiwang but then she was very sad.why ？
　　XiWang’s mother ： I bore four chilren ，but only Xiwang grow up. I was so sad.（crying）. What’s more， Xiwang’s father died because a hunter killed him.（小家伙们立即对猎人怒目相似）They said that his fur is very expensive.They will sell it to the businessman to make clothes.（crying louder） This morning ，I found two farmers to my home .They made my home smaller to get more space for crops. The bamboo forest is becoming smaller too. I can’t find enough food to eat .（cry again）同學们纷纷谴责农民和猎人，保护野生动物的主题达到了。
