And English as the most widespread language in the world is far more important than before. Though more foreigners come to China for business or study, students have more chances to contact with foreigners to practice their oral English. But it is unrealistic for most of our Chinese students to have the opportunities to learn and practice their spoken English accompanied by foreigners. And usually schools cannot be equipped every class with a foreign teacher. As a result, students in China cannot speak fluent English though their English grades are very high. So here comes the problem: how to teach students spoken English?

The goal of this paper is that using the applications on the Internet to solve the problem of middle school oral English teaching, so as to improve student’s oral English in middle school.
