Abstract

Willingness to communicative in English refers to the initiative and enthusiasm of learners to use English to communicate in a specific situation, which is an important manifestation of the ability to use English in practice. A strong willingness to communicate can make students more willing to speak English, so that they can practice and improve their language skills in real communication. On the contrary, even if they have mastered a certain amount of language knowledge, the lack of willingness to express themselves will lead to the emergence of“mute English" and limit the development of language ability. Therefore, it becomes especially important to stimulate and develop students' willingness to communicate in English teaching. This paper takes the classroom teaching of compulsory English 1Unit2 Travelling Around Listening and Speaking of People's Education Press as an example to discuss how to stimulate students' willingness to communicate in English teaching, and then improve their oral expression ability.
