Abstract

Analysis in the field of sociology of social interaction in everyday conversation and other forms of natural session since the early seventies of the last century, more and more attention by linguists. The basic structural unit of the session Turn. Domestic and foreign linguists and sociologists in the discourse analysis the field dialogue wheel done a lot of research, which many scholars of classroom session analysis. Domestic scholars spoke wheel training to improve students' oral English conversational skills, but mainly theoretical exposition and the voice of experience, the lack of empirical research. The author's school is a foreign language school, the oral test is a routine test in the school, and to develop students' English Graded Examinations in Spoken Standard. So I had an idea, that the oral teaching students in the classroom teaching into teaching practices to Turn awareness training to improve students' spoken English conversation skills. This paper first reviews the the Turn theoretical and oral theory, and then implemented in the classroom Learner training experiments. Process of learning English in the classroom 45 minutes in addition to the student written exercises outside the classroom training content, including session topics, the content representations or dialogue presentation forms as Turn training material, but also design the session content to do good classroom session recording and after finishing, and finally compare the pre-test and post-test results, data analysis, in order to draw, then wheel training helps to improve students' spoken English conversation skills. Turn training experiment, the session topic related topics learned in the classroom-based materials. The author's school oral test a week before the test at the end of each semester, it will be on the semester final oral test results as a pre-test session, then round after a semester of training, and then to the end of the semester oral test results as a post-test, and then compare analysis. I will, in part, as an oral test analysis and comparison of the main contents of the scoring criteria expressed in language, the language with three aspects based on accuracy and session. Comparison of pre-test and post-test results show that: and by Turn spoken training teaching students in oral communication skills have improved significantly, improved accuracy in the use of language, there is significant progress on the session with the cooperation. This can be seen, then wheel training helps to improve students' oral conversation skills. Turn training oral teaching that students in the session cooperation was markedly increased, and students in the process of exchange of session emphasis on maintaining good session relations rather than the improvement of language skills, which is the author in the beginning of the experiment did not anticipate. In the test portion of the experiment, there are some adverse experimental data the accuracy of subjective factors, such as the rated operating subjective, the quality of the students' mental test scores, students should try to take two pairs of free combinations, this ability on both sides play mutual influence. There are also some of the effects of test play objective factors, such as the test site environment, test time on the test object. Finally Turn awareness training oral English teaching in the Foundation Stage inspiration: English teachers want to change the \be used in the actual teaching and training; session to create a harmonious atmosphere for the exchange students form happy to AC attitude; speaking terms learning the written language learning combine to promote each other.
