Abstract

Chinese EFL learners may have difficulty in speaking fluent and accurate English, for their speaking competence are likely to be influenced by cognitive, linguistic and affective factors. With the aim to enhance those learners’ oral proficiency, this paper first discusses three effective models of teaching English speaking, and then proposes a four-step pedagogical method in which activities are carried out through four stages: Pre-speaking, while-speaking, post-speaking and extension practice.
