This paper focuses on the second language communication process, trying to find out the possible spoken language phenomenon and the corresponding spoken language learning strategies. At the same time, the factors influencing the learners＇ adoption of spoken language learning strategy as well as the hints for teaching spoken language in class are hopefully to be summarized.展开更多

In particular, spoken language is playing a vital role in foreign language learning and practice. In order to improve foreign language teaching and learning proficiency in ethnic regions, the author analyses the current situation of spoken foreign language teaching and learning in ethnic regions and suggests some ways to solve the existing problems.展开更多

According to Lave and Wenger （1991）, learning should not be viewed as simply the transmission of abstract and decontextualised knowledge from one individual to another, but a social process whereby knowledge is co-constructed. The exposure to spoken language and cultural elements of foreign language is the best way of teaching the language itself rather than grammatical patterns and rules of the language. In this study, we aim to review ＂situational learning approach＂ in context with its role and efficiency of teaching spoken language. An experimental study was conducted on the university students in the preparatory classes at the School of Tourism of Erzincan University. Twelve male and 11 female students in the control group and 14 male and 10 female students in the experimental group took part in the research. The language levels of the students were determined by a language proficiency test which is used as pre-test of the study. Language proficiency test composed of mainly dialogues including spoken language patterns. After eight weeks of lectures with authentic sketches which were used as reading materials in experimental group and classical reading materials in control group, the students were given the same language proficiency test as post-test. When pre- and post-test results were evaluated, significant difference was found between the pre- and post-test results of the subjects on behalf of the students in the experimental group. It is concluded that spoken language can be achieved by authentic sketches which are designed to serve as a situated learning setting.展开更多

Teachers teach their students listening in the way they themselves were taught. This empirical perspective of teaching, which lacks a sufficiently scientific basis, has been challenged in recent years by evidence from psycholinguistic research. This influential field of study has provided many fresh insights into the nature of the human mind and broadened our view of language teaching.展开更多

By way of elaborating children＇s books and writing on a computer or tablet, it introduces illiterate children to oral-written speech--an innovative approach to literacy. This process takes place under the guidance of a pedagogue, in collaboration with parents. Thus, before they start school, children in Bulgaria can master the written and spoken language that encourages them to love the book.展开更多
