（课程代码：0594）

一、考核目标
口语是英语教学中四项基本技能之一。在普通高等院校英语专业中，英语口语作为专业基础课安排在一、二年级，每周一般安排2课时，总学时为144课时。在高等教学自学考试英语专业基础阶段中，英语口语属于必考课程。英语口语考试主要检查学生是否达到以下目标：

（1） 能就所听到的语段进行问答和复述；
（2） 能就所看到的一般场景进行描述；
（3） 能就日常生活话题进行交谈并能在一般场合与英语国家人士交谈；
（4） 能做到正确表达思想，语音、语调自然，无重大语法错误，语言基本得体。

二、考核依据教材
指定教材：《新编交际英语听说教程》，唐桂民、杨丽编，广东高等教学出版社，2002修订版

三、考试方式和评分原则
英语口语考试同时对两位考生进行考试，考生搭档(partner)由电脑统一派对。口语考试由两位教师主考。两位主考给每位考生各自打分，考生的最后成绩为两个分数的平均分。主考将依据考生的语音语调、流利程度、思想表达、交际能力、语言得体性及有无重大语法错误等方面评分。

四、考试内容和题型
英语口语考试分为三部分，总分100分，考试时间约为7-8分钟，准备时间为5分钟，考试具体内容和要求如下图所示：

考试内容 考试方式 考试时间 准备时间 分数比例
1．“热身”对话(Warm-up Conversation） 两位考生相互问候、就指定的2-3个话题进行对话 约3分钟 无 35%

2．朗读对话(Reading Aloud a Dialogue) 两位考生交替进行 约1-2分钟 无 25%

3．角色扮演(Role Play) 两位考生根据各自所给的题目或要求进行对话 约3分钟 5分钟 40%

第一部分为“热身”对话，占35分。要求两位考生相互用英语进行问候，然后就主考教师指定的2-3个话题进行对话。这部分的主要目的是：1）消除考生紧张的心理，逐步进入考试状态；2）考查学生的交际能力。因此要求考生有较丰富的知识面的同时，较熟练地掌握生活场景（社交，天气、嗜好、文娱体育、购物、饮食、观光旅游、公共交通等）中的常用表达方式。

第二部分为朗读对话，占25分。要求两位考生用正确的语音、语调流利地朗读一个对话。

第三部分为角色扮演，此部分为英语口语考试的重要部分，占40分。要求考生具有口头灵活应用英语的能力和应变能力。在口语考试正式进行之前5分钟，给两位考生各发一份卷，考卷上标明两位考生在第三部分各自要扮演的角色、场景和会话要求等，然后给考生5分钟准备。在准备期间，两位考生只能独立准备自己要扮演的角色，不能告知对方自己的角色或与同伴讨论如何进行对话。在进行完第一、二部分后，要求考生根据要求及所准备的进行约2分钟的对话。在对话过程中，要求考生根据场景和角色尽可能多地应用功能语言，如建议、邀请、忠告、同意、许可、反对等，和正确地使用语法结构，如过去时、将来时、进行时、完成时等。

五、命题要求
1． 命题应严格按照本大纲对学生口语技能的要求，不能随意提高或降低标准。

2． 命题应严格按照本大纲内容和题型要求设计题型，不得随意改变。

3． 每次考试要求出四份试题，要根据不同时间段和考生分组情况使用不同的试题。试题中适当采用教材中的材料，但分值一般不得超过总分的40%。

六、题型举例

Part One Warm-up Conversation (35%)
You are required to introduce and greet each other, and then carry on a conversation based on the two or three topics specified by the examiners. For example:

1) A: Good morning. I’m Li Xiahai. I’m from Shenzhen.
B: Good morning. My name’s Wang Dan. I’m from Guangzhou. Pleased to meet you.
A: Nice to meet you, too.

2) Will you please tell me something more about yourself?

3) How long have you been learning English? What do you think is the most difficult thing
in the process of your English study? And why?

4) Do you often surf the Internet? What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet?

5) What’s the weather like in your hometown?

6) What kind of interest and hobby do you have?

7) What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

Part Two Reading Aloud a Dialogue (25%)
You are required to read aloud a dialogue, with one playing Role A and the other Role B. For example:

A: I’ve heard a lot about the improved standard of living of the Chinese people, but I didn’t expect to see such great changes. Thirty-eight years ago I worked in the village for a short time and the peasants had a very hard life then. The land was barren and the people wore very tattered clothes. But yesterday, I saw two-storeyed houses, bicycles, sewing machines, colorful and fashionable clothing. I just couldn’t believe my eyes.

B: But you know the changes were not so great until only about three or four years ago when the State began to adopt a new policy in the countryside. The peasants are now encouraged to produce more and earn more through honest labour. So more and more peasants have become very well-off and there’s a great demand for all kinds of consumer goods.

A: Yes, I could see that. I saw many kinds of consumer goods in the village that country folk didn’t even know about last time I was in China.

B: You mentioned bicycles and sewing machines. Those have become quite common in the rural areas today. I’ve recently come across an article in a magazine which reported on the changes in the peasants’ needs. Even I was surprised at the kinds of things they want to buy today.
