While the teacher has his or her roles in a language classroom, the students are also responsible for their learning. In an oral lesson, the students should play a lot of roles.
First, the student should be a good listener. In oral English lesson, it’s important for the students to listen to their teacher carefully and give their attention to the information given by both teachers and classmates. Before doing the activities, they should be absorbed in the instructions the teacher given, so that they can ensure how to start an activity, or what to do next, or what to say next. During the communication, they should attend to the information given by their partners and then think how to continue the conversation.
Second, the student should be a cooperator. Cooperation seems very important in oral lesson. In oral lesson, in response to the need of the tasks, students are often divided into groups of different sizes. All students in one group need to work with together, making conversations and solving problems cooperatively. As long as one group member is lack of cooperation, the activity can’t be finished smoothly and effectively.
Last but not the least, the students should be an individual learner. They must subconsciously learn to work independently in class or at home, taking full responsibility for their own performance and learning. Generally speaking, speaking is not carried out individually. However, lesson planning before speaking can be done in individual. When doing lesson planning, it requires students to search correlative information before class, which is good for promoting autonomous degree of students. Learner autonomy plays a key role in success of foreign learning. There is such a saying in China “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you’ll feed him for a lifetime”. Learner autonomy has been admitted to be such fishing ability that can benefit a person’s whole life. In a word, individual study is absolutely useful for enhancing students’ speaking ability.

“Lockstep is the stage where all the students are under the control of the teacher. That is, the whole class attends to the same activity at the same rhythm and pace”[8]. Lockstep is often adopted when the teacher is making a presentation, checking exercise answers, or doing accuracy reproduction. Before doing pair and group work, the teacher should make presentations first. Take the dialog Why is Beth crying? for example, the teacher can play the tape first with students just listening. Then play the second and third time to ask students to read following it. Until students are familiar with this dialog, the teacher can ask a student to play Helen’s role and develop a conversation like this:
