With the development of economic globalization and cultural integration, the learning of a second language has become increasingly important for economic, political, and cultural exchanges in the world today. Complex dynamic system theory is an important research theory of foreign language learning methods for nonnative speakers. However, the research and application of the complex dynamic system theory in oral foreign language learning of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners are not prominent. The purpose of this paper is to explore the learning situation of oral English of EFL learners from the perspective of the complex dynamic system theory and provide some new learning methods and suggestions for EFL learners’ oral English learning based on the research of complex dynamic system theory. First, this article discusses and analyzes the current situation of oral English learning of EFL learners through literature research and a questionnaire survey. Then, based on the related research on the theory of complex dynamic systems, this article proposes countermeasures and learning method recommendations for the problems existing in the current oral English learning of EFL learners. After that, this paper sets up a controlled test of oral English learning through the learning method formulated by the complex dynamic system theory and verifies the learning effect of the oral English learning method proposed in this paper according to the mathematical theory research method of the complex dynamic system. Finally, this article discusses the reliability of the experimental research conclusions based on the error analysis and confidence level estimation of the experimental results. The research results show shows that there is 95% confidence that the second language learning method proposed in this paper under the perspective of the complex dynamic system theory has a positive effect on the oral English learning of EFL learners.
