  1. Introduction
  English as a worldwide language plays a more and more important role in the world communication. But in China, many college students still cannot communicate effectively in English, even the English major students. This paper aims to put forward a comprehensive approach to oral English teaching through the overall investigation of students’ oral English learning so as to improve our college students’ oral communicative competence effectively.
  2. Descriptions of the survey
  2.1 Subjects
  The present survey was conducted in Xinjiang Engineering Institute. A total of 90 English majors participated in the questionnaire survey.
  2.2 Instrument
  The instrument used in this descriptive study is questionnaire.
  Questionnaire used in this study is composed in Chinese in order that the students can have a full understanding of the questions. 18 statements are made with items for the students to choose from according to their own personal situation.
  2.3 Procedure
  The questionnaires were handed out at the beginning of second semester in the year of 2013-2014. The students were asked to circle on choice from each statement on the following scale: (1) strongly agree. (2) Agree. (3) Undecided. (4) Disagree. (5) Strongly Disagree. The questionnaire was finished in class and collected immediately. 90 students filled in the questionnaires. The recovery rate of the questionnaire was 100%.
  2.4 The results of point 1 to 18
  The following Table 1 presents the results of the point 1-18. All the data is real and correct.
  3. Conclusion
  Based on all the findings above, some recommendations can be made for our English major students in Xinjiang Engineering Institute.
  Students should not miss but seize every opportunity to speak English, try to create an environment for oral practice by themselves, and practice as much as possible in and after class. In order to lower the anxiety and heighten the self-confidence when speaking English, students may also try some multimedia courseware or have man-machine conversations through computer to correct their pronunciation or intonation. Radio programs, video and TV programs may play the same role as well.   The abilities of listening, speaking, reading, and writing are not separated but closely related. Therefore, students are supposed to improve all the abilities together, not just practice oral English for the sake of oral proficiency.
  To reach these destinations, the support from university or college administrators are indispensable to expand the requirements of oral English in the teaching syllabus, and thus providing more opportunities for students to practice their oral English in class. Besides, various campus oral English activities such as English speech contest, English debate and English party are helpful to provide more opportunities for the students to practice oral English after class. In addition, more Language centers or labs built in university or college are conducive to create an ideal environment for the students to improve their oral English.
