Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Skills Competitions and Oral English Expression Abilities among Liaocheng Vocational and Technical College, Shandong, China students. The primary issue addressed is the level of integration of English skills competitions into the curriculum and its impact on students' oral English expression abilities. This research aims to evaluate the extent to which English skills competitions have been incorporated into the learning process and to explore the relationship between the level of integration and students' oral English expression abilities. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design, utilizing a survey questionnaire to collect student data. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were conducted to analyze the collected data. The findings indicate that integrating English skills competitions into the curriculum can significantly enhance students' oral English expression abilities, particularly in idiomatic usage and overall communicative competence. The positive impact largely depends on careful implementation that balances competitive activities with other pedagogical methods. The study recommends that educators ensure these competitions are designed to be inclusive and are part of a broader, well-rounded approach to language learning. In this way, English skills competitions can effectively improve students' oral language abilities, provided they are balanced and aligned with comprehensive pedagogical approaches

Abstract

This study explores Chinese English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers' perspectives on employing a play-based approach in teaching phonics. The case study method will be employed by this study, which is particularly suitable for this research as it allows for an in-depth exploration of the complex, contextualized experiences of Chinese EFL teachers using play-based approaches in phonics instruction. The study captures teachers' perspectives by employing in-depth interviews and classroom observations, thus providing rich, qualitative data that reveals what they do and why and how they integrate play-based methods into their teaching. By analyzing interview and observational data, the study aims to identify significant themes and variations in the teachers' perspectives to enhance phonics learning among their students. Understanding these aspects will provide valuable insights into how play-based learning can effectively adapt to the Chinese EFL context, potentially improving phonics instruction and student outcomes. Finally, the conduct of this study is justified as phonics is essential for developing early reading skills in EFL learners. However, traditional methods may not fully engage students or address their diverse needs. Play-based learning, which emphasizes interactive and enjoyable activities, offers a potential solution by making phonics instruction more engaging and effective
