And what are the non-ecological phenomena in current spoken English class? Secondly,whether the construction of spoken English ecological classroom helps to increase students' interests in spoken English study or not? Thirdly,whether the construction of spoken English is conducive to improving the students' scores of spoken test or not?First of all,according to questionnaire and class observation,many problems are revealed in the class of spoken English teaching,that are non-ecological phenomena,mainly including the structural imbalance of spoken class.In order to figure out these questions,the author explored some effective ways of constructing spoken English ecological classroom,namely creatingcomfortable and harmonious ecological environment of classroom,building ecological relationships,implementing ecological teaching and learning and carrying out oriented evaluation mechanism.In order to prove the real effects of these approaches of constructing spoken English ecological classroom,the author selected two classes in grade one at a key high school in Jinan to carry out the experiment for three months,and they are divided into the experimental class and the control class.In the end,the students' scores of oral pre-test and post-test are collected separately,and then the data are analyzed by means of software SPSS.In the comparison of the post-test grades between the experimental class and the control class,P=0.023<0.05,which means that there is an evident difference in the students' speaking levels between the two classes after the oral experiment.Besides the students in the control class have lower marks in the post test than the students in the experimental class.The research shows that: Firstly,the construction of ecological classroom not only makes a positive influence on students' interests and initiatives of spoken English learning,but also cultivates students' positive attitudes towards practicing spoken English.Secondly,the construction of ecological classroom is conducive to improving students' oral performances and abilities,at the same time,promoting the spoken English teaching.
