As we all know, the 21st century society will be a study-characterized society, which requires people to have the ability of learning and master the abundant knowledge in their whole life. On the other hand, the new globalized economy has made higher and higher demands on EFL teaching, especially on oral English teaching. As a result, we have to restudy oral English teaching for the secondary vocational school. The thesis is to put forward the hypothesis "Fostering the students' autonomous learning can not only improve the student's oral English results, but also improve the oral English teaching efficiency". The thesis wants to study the following questions: "What is the current situation of our school oral English teaching", "What's the relationship between autonomous learning and oral English teaching ", "How can we foster the vocational school students' autonomous learning in oral English teaching. " and so on. "How can we foster the vocational school students' autonomous learning in oral English teaching." is the focus of the thesis. However, in this area little literature can be found. Therefore, the author aims to make a practical study on how to foster the vocational school students' autonomous learning in oral English teaching.This thesis will begin with the literature review of the autonomous learning and oral English teaching methods. With the help of the literature review, the thesis makes clear the definition of autonomous learning in the thesis and the characteristics of oral English teaching, proving the hypothesis theoretically. From this part, the thesis points out that we can foster the vocational school students' autonomous learning from the three aspects: attitude, oral English learning ability. Then the thesis analyses the common problems in current oral English teaching in our school by means of survey, interview and the analysis of the recording of the students' oral test examination. Based on the summary of the reasons for the oral English problems, a hypothesis is put forward that fostering the vocational school students' autonomous learning will be the key measure to solve the problems in oral English teaching. And then an experiment is carried out to foster the secondary vocational school students' autonomous learning in oral English teaching from the three aspects: 1) foster the students' positive attitude and their responsibility towards their own study, 2) foster the students' oral English learning ability 3) create the environment for the students' autonomous learning. The data collected during the process of experiment proves that the students' autonomous learning can be fostered and it does help to improve the students' oral English results and improve the oral English teaching efficiency. The thesis ends with the evaluation of the experiment and the suggestions on how to improve the secondary vocational school oral teaching. The study can serve as one of the effective ways for the secondary vocational school teachers to improve their students' oral English ability.
