Abstract

This study discusses the phenomenon of negative transfer of mother tongue, which is common in oral English learning in senior high schools. The research topic is divided into two parts: the influence of negative transfer of the mother tongue and its countermeasures, covering vocabulary misuse, phonetic influence and corresponding teaching strategies. Through literature analysis and theoretical comparison, the phenomenon of rigid mother tongue order and mechanical Chinglish is deeply discussed, and some countermeasures are put forward to solve the problem of negative transfer of mother tongue, such as contextualization practice, in-depth understanding of language characteristics and structure, application of cooperation and correction strategies, peer discussion and cooperative activities. The results show that these strategies can effectively reduce the negative impact of the mother tongue on oral English learning. The research conclusion emphasizes that in order to overcome the challenge of negative transfer of mother tongue, diversified and practical teaching methods should be adopted, emphasizing practical communication and cultural integration, aiming at cultivating students' all-round English application ability and cross-cultural communication ability.
