English as an international language is an important tool to communicate with people in other countries. With the improvement of transportation and communication tools, in the 21st Century, the world has become a global village. The contact with the outside world has become more extensive. Among the capability of listening, speaking, reading and writing, speaking which is the most practical one tends to be the weakest one of the majority of English learners. Because of the limited time of English learning at school, either to the students or to other social groups, the improvement of oral English is close-linked to daily life. Apart from theoretical knowledge, English learners should put emphasis on the oral training under the lead of a method system. The social need of English language professionals increased greatly. Therefore, how to improve oral English seems to be a big problem that learners need to address.
In this paper, the author makes a primary research on how to improve oral English in daily life. At first, the author introduces the importance of oral English. Then the author analyzes problems related to oral English, such as being afraid of speaking out, not being able to apply vocabulary or sentence patterns they have learnt into practice, and hardly being understood by native speakers. And the author analyses the reasons for the three problems and gives a series of methods to solve the problems. In brief, only constant practice can improve oral English.
