We should practice speaking English whenever we can. I’ll teach you how to be an English speech master and Let’s improve our speaking ability by learning, speaking and practising.

Step Ⅱ Background information.

社会生活的信息化和经济的全球化，使英语的重要性日益突出。英语作为最重要的信息载体之一，已成为人类生活各领域中最广泛的语言。国家教育部制定出《英语课程标准》要求我们从学生的兴趣、生活经验和认知水平出发，倡导体验、实践、参与、合作与交流的学习方式和任务型的教学途径、发展学生的综合语言运用能力，使语言学习的过程成为学生形式积极的情感态度，主动思维和大胆实践，提高跨文化意识和形式自主学习能力的过程。

为此，我想通过我们高二的英语活动实践课来激发和培养学生说英语的兴趣，使学生树立自信心，养成良好的学习习惯及大胆开口说英语的习惯，发展自主学习的能力和合作精神，使学生掌握一般的听、说和演讲技能，帮助学生了解世界和中西方文化的差异，拓展视野，陶冶情操。
