Domestic research status:

When i type the spoken English teaching in CNKI, there are many papers from 2005 to 2017. i divide these paper into two kinds. The first kind of the papers mainly introduce and explore the theory of spoken English teaching and spoken English training and its value and application methods from different perspectives and the majority of the thesis introduce the teaching methods in primary school or high school. For example, communicative approach, situation teaching method and project teaching method. Also, there is a small number of paper study the current situation and strategy of the non-English major students in university . However, my paper mainly My paper mainly research the problems in current teaching of speaking to English Major Students of Universities in Wuhan area. I think the research field is too broad to be targeted, because students is different in different place and the educational level is different. The finial research is not suitable for everyone. Therefore, i think the research should aim at some region and through comparing the teaching method in same region and apply the theoretical approach.

Overseas research status:

When i search the foreign literature, i find there are many different opinion about the spoken English, some research from the culture perspectives and some research spoken English from the teachers’ cognition and so on.
