, they have mastered the linguistic competence. But this is never enough. Speaking is the most obvious form of communication between people. The objective of speaking is that students participate a great deal of oral communication, meanwhile through which foster linguistic competence, social linguistic ability and strategic capability, such as ability through speaking, ability to grasp language’s communicative function, thinking ability in the social intercourse and qualifications as a fluent reader and so forth.[3] This double characteristic places English speaking in the unique position and creates quite a few barriers for teaching. For example, teachers’ own level of proficiency should be guaranteed. There are lots of materials to cover. What they face is usually a large class, so getting most students to speak is not a piece of cake. They also have to design various activities and choose what to use and how or when to perform. Therefore, teachers should improve themselves in English speaking and teaching methodology. In addition, several factors influence speaking such as expressive motivation, size of vocabulary, communication
strategy, atmosphere and interaction mode. So finding a way to improve students’ comprehensive ability is the key.
3. Recitation
3.1The method of reading and reciting
This method is quite popular today, but still, it is of great importance. Though many people know about this way of learning well, most of them turn a deaf ear. More probably they never think why it is advocated, not to mention to have a try. They consider the "rote learning" not clever and a waste of time. Another reason for their not trying is their lack of perseverance because it needs relentless practice. As it is, though demanding, it can be of big help.
3.2 Theoretical foundation of constant reading
Why should ask students to read several times first? It is common rule that reading aloud is the basis of remembering. What makes different is how many times are required by different persons. Reading helps develop an instinctive feel of the English.
Behaviorism believes learning is the cooperation between stimulus and response or reinforcement and transformation of behavioral habit. Thorndike put forward "law of practice" and "law of effect" to directly explain human's behavior. He thought repetition and its favorable results would unceasingly stimulate and reinforce behavior until the forming of stimulus----response result.[4]
Wittrock said the brain is not a passive consumer of information. The stored memories and information-processing strategies of our cognitive system interact with the sensory information received from the environment, selectively attend to this information, relate it to memory and actively construct meaning for it.[5] That is why when reading over and over again, readers can understand it a little more every time, provided a little thinking is invovled. It can be called "comprehensively reciting". According to Chomsky, language is an intricate rule-based system and a large part of language acquisition is the learning of this system.[6] Cognitive theory suggests that people have potential linguistic competence to disintegrate complicated grammatical rules. While reading, human brains begin to think out the
constitution and sentence patterns. Therefore, if the chosen sentences are of the same structure or grammar, it is easy to perceive the similarity thus to keep it in mind.
We know how the brain works in the process
