ConclusionNowadays oral English has become a very important communication skill. The problem of how to develop learners communicative co
13、mpetence causes widespread concern among English teachers and educators. And great improvements have been made in this subject. However, there are still problems that hinder learners progress in the training of oral expression. Of all these problems, psychological barrier is one of the most common b
14、ut the most difficult problem to solve. It is really a systematic process to change this situation, but if learners make some deep research on this problem and find out its types and causes of formation and take some corresponding measures to deal with them, the problem will surely be solved.II. Psy
15、chological Barriers and Its Types A. The Definition of Psychological BarrierPsychologically speaking, the main presentation of psychological barriers are pessimism, worries, anxiety, nervousness, loneliness and depression, which are formed when people encounter difficulties or frustrations in their
16、study or life(叶亦乾 3). To oral English learners, psychological barriers are abnormal phenomena that are formed in the conditions of nervousness, anxiety, shyness, inferiority and lack of self-confidence when doing oral English communications (杜诗春 102).B. Types of Psychological BarrierDifferent learne
17、rs got different kinds of psychological barriers, and different kinds of psychological barriers have their own different features.As there are few opportunities for students to practice their oral English, some learners are generally poor in oral expression, and they are afraid of making mistakes. T
18、hus, they feel over-nervous and over-anxious during classes. In their spare time, they also feel shamed to talk with others. This type is called trait anxiety. It is mainly determined by the students personality. There is another type called environmental anxiety. This happens because the students a
19、re afraid of teachers blame and sneers from their classmates. There are also students who are seriously lack of self-confidence. They just look down upon themselves, and are silent or stuttering all the way when doing oral practice in class, especially in public places. As a result, they endure too
20、much pressure, which gradually causes serious psychological barriers.2. The Vanity TypeUnder the influence of the traditional Confucianism, students in China pay too much attention to their self-image, and too sensitive to their reputation. They just think that they would loss face if they cannot sp
21、eak fluently and accurately. Thus, they are lack of self-confidence and act very unnatural. Some students just try not to speak English or even do not say anything.Some students just do not want to learn oral English because they think that they will not go abroad. It is no use learning oral English
22、. Some even regard it as a heavy burden, and even feel it is a waste of time in oral English study. Some of them are become disgusted or even repel others learning oral English.Of this type, students are usually blocked in the oral practice when they do not know which words should be chosen or when
23、they encounter new words. Under this circumstance, they cannot find the right way to express themselves. In addition, being not proficient in oral techniques is also of this kind. Some students of this type can not recollect the right words or phrases sometimes, and some of them can never recollect
24、them unless they go and look up them in dictionaries. But most of them would shut their mouths and never speak any more. This gets worse and worse till one day they feel very hard to communicate with others in oral English.5. The Difficulty- afraid TypeSome students just think that they can hardly i
25、mprove their oral skills, so they give it up and never practice oral English both in class and during their spare time. For some students, they feel too oppressive to their study on various kinds of subjects and they always wonder if they can handle the subject or not, so they feel shy when they enc
26、ounter with difficulties. So when they find one topic is a little difficult and cant continue theyll give it up immediately.6. The Compatible TypeStudents of this type generally get two or more psychological barriers in one. They usually feel a huge press psychologically. They feel upset and self-pi
27、ty and are really complex in their minds. They think too much about their demerits and thus are distracted from learning. As days going on, they gradually lose confidence in learning English any more.III. The Present Situation of Oral English Training in Chinese Middle SchoolNowadays, the students i
28、n Chinese middle school are facing different types of psychological barriers. The most severe condition is the “dump English” phenomena. The middle school English teachers often complain about that some students examination marks are high but seldom speak English in class. The researchers also found
29、 that many students do well in exams and good at analysis the sentences structure, however, when ask them to speak in English they even cant speak a simple sentence fluently. As in English communication, some students can make good sentences in their heart but just cant speak it clearly out of their
30、 mouth. Furthermore, when some students come to a formal speech, they speak hem and haw, even trembling in their voices. A small group of students even give up oral English learning. The“ dump English phenomena shows that a good number of students in our country are suffering psychological barriers, that is to say, there are some problems existing in the oral English training.
