On the Cultivation of Middle School Students’ English Listening and Speaking Ability Under the Network Environment

I. Introduction

In today’s world, with the rapid development of information technology and economic globalization, the function of language becomes particularly important, especially the English language. As a tool of communication, English becomes more and more important for our country when our country exchange with other countries. English listening and speaking skills are two important parts in English communication. Listening, as a basic form of English, mainly refers to the language input. Now people have paid much attention to listening, but they do not realize the importance of speaking. Actually, speaking is the ultimate realization of English communication. But for a quite long time, most of the students just want to improve their grades in English exams, they fail on the cultivation of English listening and speaking ability. In order to cope with all kinds of English written tests, teachers teach the students lots of new words, expressions and grammars in the process of many years of learning, but most of the students can not communicate with others fluently in English. To improve the students’ listening and speaking skill has become the main task of middle school English learning and teaching.
