ABSTRACT
With the rapid economic growth and deepening foreign exchanges and cooperation in China, the demand for high-quality talents specialized in English foreign languages has risen sharply, since in the course of international exchanges, foreign languages not only serve as a tool for communication but also a channel to spread Chinese civilization and culture. As an important means to cultivate the creative students who know well about the international cultures and a good embodiment of teaching reform, English Speaking and Debating Course (ESDC), has received increasingly considerable publicity in China, and various speech and debate contests are becoming more and more popular in colleges and universities.
