The usage of PBL is one of the heated topics in the education area. The present paper reviews the application of PBL group learning mode for improving the oral competence of English-majored students in China. After reviewing previous literature, this paper found that speaking classes of English majors, in current Chinese higher education, have long been characterized by vague teaching content, poor classroom quality and weak student learning outcomes. Besides, the group learning model under the PBL teaching method has great importance for the efficient development of the speaking classroom. However, there are still scant studies in the analysis and construction of the group learning model for the speaking classes of the English major, which is a research gap. Through reviewing a large amount of literature, conducting in-depth analysis and summarizing, the paper explores the application of the PBL group learning model in the speaking classes. The study shows that this learning model can avoid the drawbacks of the traditional speaking classroom, substantially improve students' speaking ability, promote the quality of teaching and put forward higher teaching requirements for teachers. Therefore, the effective construction of the PBL group learning model is essential for speaking learning in current Chinese higher education.
