1. Introduction
With China’s entry into the WTO and the world's internationalization and globalization, English is no longer proprietary for a country or a nation. Actually, it is seen as a tool for international communication and a medium for the communication of global information as well. In China, as in many other countries, English is widely learned as a foreign language, but the fact is that most students learning English in colleges is test-oriented by and large, so their ability in written English is far more required than that in spoken English. At this rate, "Dumb English" is pervasive and has become the biggest obstacle for English college students in improving their command of English.
Accurate and fluent oral English, however, tends to be a basic requirement for college students especially in accordance with the current trend of international development of economy. In order to enable college students to improve their oral English to adapt them to the current situation, it is necessary to make them know the types of the common errors committed in daily communication as well as the reasons for them. What's more, it is also indispensable for college students to be instructed with a series of concrete and effective strategies towards error-correction. In that case, they can get a more profound understanding of the errors committed in their oral English and try to avoid them to some extent so as to improve the accuracy and fluency of their oral English.
