In the information age, mastery of English as a global language is essential. During an internship at Lanchi School, it was evident that oral English skills were underdeveloped among students, who primarily focused on rote learning rather than speaking practice. This study focuses on a seventh-grade English teacher, exploring her approaches to oral English teaching through interviews and classroom observations. The analysis highlights issues such as pronunciation, teaching methods, and professional development constraints. The study concludes with recommendations for enhancing oral English education at both individual and institutional levels.
