英語語言教育的重要性不言而喻,而其中英語詞匯教學(xué)在英語語言教育過程中則起著舉足輕重的作用,然而,不少師生面對(duì)單詞記憶倍感“壓力山大”!為了與學(xué)生一起攻克詞匯關(guān), 我們做了如下探索與實(shí)踐:
1 依托教材,層層鋪開
1.發(fā)音不過關(guān)是導(dǎo)致背單詞失敗的最根本原因,所以在一輪復(fù)習(xí)期間,早讀課上一定讓學(xué)生跟著標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的錄音背單詞、朗讀課文,反復(fù)聽錄音并跟著大聲朗讀。這時(shí)候眼睛、耳朵、嘴巴全部用起來了,不斷刺激大腦,印象也特別深刻!
2.以2012年高考英語考試說明為藍(lán)本(2013年考試說明尚未出臺(tái)),以教育專家張思中的 “適當(dāng)集中、反復(fù)循環(huán),因材施教”為理論依據(jù),將詞匯按單元及字母順序循環(huán)集中拼寫,來落實(shí)單詞的拼法、意思和詞性。
3.編寫句子翻譯以及錯(cuò)題集(如下),讓學(xué)生落實(shí)單詞的語用。
錯(cuò)題集
1)Lots of animals were ________ by people to make way for agricultural land. (毀滅)
2)A grand dinner party was held in ________ of the scientists seventieth birthday. (紀(jì)念)
3)---Jim came out first. ---Thats great. Please give my ________ when you see him. (祝賀).
4)The WTO cannot live up to its name if it does not ________ a country that is home to one fifth of mankind. (包括)
5)The hall under construction will be large enough to ________ 2000 students. (容納)
6)In ________ Chinese culture, marriage decisions were often made by parents. (傳統(tǒng))
7)I saw Bob play the piano at the party and on that ________ he was simply brilliant. (場(chǎng)合)
4.以模塊為單位,改編教材中各篇課文的填空(以第九單元第一課為例),復(fù)現(xiàn)詞匯及課文,讓學(xué)生落實(shí)單詞的語用、加深單詞和課文的印象。
Unit 9 Lesson 1
For years, people have been enjoying the 1.________ (好處) of cycling in Amsterdam, the “City of Bicycles”, because of the 2. ________ (convenient) for bicycles.
In the 1960s, cycling fans 3. ________ (油漆) hundreds of bicycles white and placed them in lots of neighborhoods around Amsterdam. Anyone was 4. ________ (允許) to take them and use them for short journeys. 5. ________ (where) someone finished a journey they would leave the bike there for someone else to use. The cycling fans believed that it 6._______ be better for everybody if cars werent allowed in the city center and only bicycles were. They were 7. ________ (hope) that this would help to save energy, reduce 8. p________ and provide free public transport. The problem was that it didnt work --- thieves took all the bicycles 9. ________ (在……內(nèi)) weeks!
However, more than thirty years later, the “white bike” is 10. _______ (回來) in town --- this time with a computer chip to 11. ________ (記錄) its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to insert a special card. The new “white bike ”is not 12. ________ (實(shí)際上) white but is an 13. ________ (usual) design with bright colors.
Indeed, 14. ________ to the good ideas, there is already 15.________ (little) traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have been using the white bikes.
2 輔以課外,鞏固補(bǔ)充
1.教育心理學(xué)家B.Bloom曾說:“一個(gè)帶著積極情感學(xué)習(xí)課程的學(xué)生,應(yīng)該比那些缺乏熱情、樂趣或興趣的同學(xué)或者比那些對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)材料感到焦慮或恐懼的學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)得更好,更輕松、更迅速”。從這個(gè)意義上來說,心理認(rèn)同是學(xué)習(xí)成功的關(guān)鍵,因此,我們選定《3年高考2年模擬 》為一輪復(fù)習(xí)資料,避免學(xué)生對(duì)教材厭倦,對(duì)重點(diǎn)詞匯進(jìn)行集中突擊。
2.單詞書總結(jié)囊括了考試常用的詞匯,縮小了需要記憶單詞的范圍,對(duì)于在短時(shí)間內(nèi)要突破考試的同學(xué)有很大的幫助。因此我們選擇《高考英語詞匯必備手冊(cè)》以及《新課標(biāo)詞匯必備》兩本單詞書供學(xué)生們選擇,進(jìn)行高考詞匯反復(fù)多遍的盤點(diǎn)記憶。
3.借助校自編的《總復(fù)習(xí)素材》歸納復(fù)習(xí)2010年福建省高考英語考試說明詞匯表、不規(guī)則動(dòng)詞表、構(gòu)詞法、動(dòng)詞短語中的小品詞、高考高頻短語、書面表達(dá)高頻短語,插入語和相似詞辨析。
3 步步為營,水到渠成
經(jīng)過了幾輪的輪番轟炸以及堅(jiān)持不懈地自編配套練習(xí),意志力強(qiáng)大,有毅力的同學(xué)的詞匯關(guān),我堅(jiān)信,早已拿下!但是,我們?nèi)匀槐敖弑M全力、為了考生”的精神,印發(fā)2013年高考英語考試說明調(diào)整詞匯例句以及《考試說明》詞匯表讓學(xué)生自查自測(cè),補(bǔ)缺補(bǔ)漏。
2013《考試說明》調(diào)整詞匯(節(jié)錄)
1.One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual.
2.We must draw a clear distinction between right and wrong.
3.The best thing for any child of a divorced parent is a stable life.
4.The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists expectation.
5.In spite of the experiments,the idea of an animal compass seemed pretty extraordinary.
實(shí)踐證明,集中反復(fù)、多管齊下、群策群力是攻克英語詞匯關(guān)的王牌!
