Abstract

Nowadays, spoken English teaching in China on the improvement of students' oral ability does not meet the expectation. "Dumb English" is still prominent in English-language learners. This paper develops a research using questionnaire survey on students' spoken abilities and needs. An efficient curriculum setting is put forward by combining chunk theory with input and output strategies. It consists of accumulative input, collaborative dialogue and automatic output. As the desired outcome of the curriculum setting, the automaticity in the third part can facilitate the fluency of learners' spoken English.
