Oral English Learning Strategy

This paper is concerned about the strategies of learning oral English. In this paper, I introduce many strategies to help students to improve their oral English .Some of these strategies can directly influence their effectiveness of learning oral English such as cognitive strategies but some do not have direct influence on oral English such as metacognitive strategies, affective strategies and social strategies. The theory of individual differences is still another important one foe choosing effective strategies, which includes age, gender, learning style preferences, etc. In the last part, I carry out a SBI( strategies-based instruction) to test the effectiveness of the strategies I introduce . I get two major findings: one is that learning strategies do have effect on learning oral English; the other is that no single strategy is appropriate for all learners. The effectiveness of a strategy depends not only on what task it applies to but on personal characteristics.
