摘要: 随着我国对外交流日益频繁，社会经济发展对高校英语专业人才培养提出了更高要求。英语口语是英语专业学生极其重要的专业能力之一，但是用人单位普遍认为英语专业毕业生的口语水平不高，专业教学成效受到质疑。造成该现状的原因之一是未对英语专业学生的外语焦虑给予足够的重视。本文基于Krashen的情感过滤假说，着重探讨英语专业学生在口语教学中的外语焦虑，旨在有效帮助学生克服焦虑，使其充分发挥语言学习潜能，进而提升口语水平。

Abstract: With China’s increasing international exchanges, social and economic developments have put forward higher requirements for the cultivation of English majors in universities. Spoken English is one of the most important professional abilities of English majors, but employers generally believe that the oral English level of English majors is not satisfying, and the effectiveness of professional teaching is questioned. One of the reasons for the current situation is that English majors’ foreign language anxiety has not been paid enough attention. Based on Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, this article focuses on the foreign language anxiety of English majors in spoken English teaching, which aims at effectively helping students to overcome anxiety, so that they can give full play to their language learning potential and improve their spoken English.
