英語語言教育的重要性不言而喻,而其中英語詞匯教學在英語語言教育過程中則起著舉足輕重的作用,然而,不少師生面對單詞記憶倍感“壓力山大”!為了與學生一起攻克詞匯關, 我們做了如下探索與實踐:
1 依托教材,層層鋪開
1.發音不過關是導致背單詞失敗的最根本原因,所以在一輪復習期間,早讀課上一定讓學生跟著標準的錄音背單詞、朗讀課文,反復聽錄音并跟著大聲朗讀。這時候眼睛、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本(2013年考試說明尚未出臺),以教育專家張思中的 “適當集中、反復循環,因材施教”為理論依據,將詞匯按單元及字母順序循環集中拼寫,來落實單詞的拼法、意思和詞性。
3.編寫句子翻譯以及錯題集(如下),讓學生落實單詞的語用。
錯題集
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)
7)I saw Bob play the piano at the party and on that ________ he was simply brilliant. (場合)
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),復現詞匯及課文,讓學生落實單詞的語用、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) 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,鞏固補充
1.教育心理學家B.Bloom曾說:“一個帶著積極情感學習課程的學生,應該比那些缺乏熱情、樂趣或興趣的同學或者比那些對學習材料感到焦慮或恐懼的學生學習得更好,更輕松、更迅速”。從這個意義上來說,心理認同是學習成功的關鍵,因此,我們選定《3年高考2年模擬 》為一輪復習資料,避免學生對教材厭倦,對重點詞匯進行集中突擊。
2.單詞書總結囊括了考試常用的詞匯,縮小了需要記憶單詞的范圍,對于在短時間內要突破考試的同學有很大的幫助。因此我們選擇《高考英語詞匯必備手冊》以及《新課標詞匯必備》兩本單詞書供學生們選擇,進行高考詞匯反復多遍的盤點記憶。
3.借助校自編的《總復習素材》歸納復習2010年福建省高考英語考試說明詞匯表、不規則動詞表、構詞法、動詞短語中的小品詞、高考高頻短語、書面表達高頻短語,插入語和相似詞辨析。
3 步步為營,水到渠成
經過了幾輪的輪番轟炸以及堅持不懈地自編配套練習,意志力強大,有毅力的同學的詞匯關,我堅信,早已拿下!但是,我們仍然秉著“竭盡全力、為了考生”的精神,印發2013年高考英語考試說明調整詞匯例句以及《考試說明》詞匯表讓學生自查自測,補缺補漏。
2013《考試說明》調整詞匯(節錄)
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.
實踐證明,集中反復、多管齊下、群策群力是攻克英語詞匯關的王牌!
