ABSTRACT

In the large-scale investigation and research of Chinese primary and secondary school students' oral English mastery in various aspects, it is found that at present, primary and secondary school students have little learning and practice of oral English, and English stress is the pain point, which directly causes the distinctive oral pronunciation of primary and secondary school students, and indirectly causes dumb English and other problems. Therefore, this study tries to analyze the similarities between Chinese tone and English stress based on the Chinese tone familiar to Chinese learners from three reasons: society, school education and students, for which English stress learning is neglected. Starting from the similarities of language system, this study makes use of the positive transfer effect of Chinese tone on learning English stress. Aiming at the common English stress problem of domestic learners, we strive to form specific and efficient training methods to improve learners' stress level.
