Interest can make people's activities show obvious tendency, and colorful, novel and interesting introductions are often the motivation for students to learn words.
1 bring forth the old and make great achievements.
Under normal circumstances, when presenting new words, teachers can use the words they have learned to arouse students' desire for knowledge, guide students to focus on new words, and thus actively perceive new words. For example, when teaching the word "map", we can put it together with "schoolbag, hat, cat, cap" and so on. Let the students compare their shapes, sounds and meanings, find out the rules of phonetic symbols, try to pronounce them, and then let them read them out. This can not only review old knowledge and introduce new knowledge, but also lay a foundation for future study, and also give students a sense of accomplishment in this process and establish self-confidence in learning English well.
2 intuitive presentation, profound image
Children's abstract thinking is poor. Teaching words with intuitive presentation strategies can help them understand abstract things. This kind of introduction can effectively attract students' attention and make them enter the role more quickly and integrate into classroom learning. Visual presentation can take various forms of things, such as objects, props, pictures, stick figures, pictures drawn by students, slides and multimedia. In daily life, I instruct students to collect or make some pictures, sometimes using simple stick figures, presenting while painting, and practicing while painting, so that students can listen while painting. For example, when teaching fruit words, I will arrange for students to draw their favorite fruits before class, label them with English names and learn pronunciation from their brothers and sisters. In class, let students be their own little teachers and introduce their favorite fruits to their peers. The students are in high spirits, and they have mastered all the fruit words they want to learn without any more teaching from the teacher. Finally, I posted the best paintings on the wall newspaper to show them, giving extra points to the award-winning students and stimulating their enthusiasm and interest in learning. Students will also be influenced by beauty.
3 Action demonstration to stimulate enthusiasm
Psychological research shows that the ability to use multiple senses of eyes, ears, mouth and hands is far stronger than the ability of a single sense to acquire knowledge. In the process of English teaching, I fully mobilize students' multiple senses and strive to make students acquire the highest level of knowledge. For example, to teach words about human body parts, I will take students to do such exercises following the rhythm of Mavis Fan's health songs: hands, hands, shaking your hands, legs, legs, patting your legs, arms, arms, touching your arms, feet, feet, and you will be healthy. Through exercise, students are enthusiastic about learning and soon remember the words of human body parts.
4 Song introduction, leadership participation
For children, singing and dancing are their nature. Practice has proved that "singing learning method" is deeply loved by primary school students and can achieve good learning results. For example, in the class of teaching animals, I let students enjoy the song "Old McDonald's has a farm" first. The sound of animals in the song embodies a beautiful and brisk atmosphere, accompanied by the laughter of the students. The whole classroom is full of joy. In this wonderful music, the students are very happy and easily enter the new class.
5. Situational word formation to improve interest
The language ability of primary school students is developed in the process of practical application. Therefore, in teaching, I often create all kinds of meaningful scenes that are close to the truth and make them want to say and be able to say. For example, when teaching me the word bedroom, I first put a background picture of the bedroom on the blackboard to let the students' imagination play: "If this bedroom is yours, how do you want to decorate it?" At this time, students are very active in thinking, express different opinions, say a lot, review the words they have learned before unconsciously, and soon enter the study of new words.
6 Manual operation, fun to learn words.
When teaching human organs, I spread a piece of paper on the blackboard, let the students take out the paper and pen prepared in advance, let them draw (stick figure) by themselves, and guide the students to say their organs in English while drawing. Such as: h-e-a-d, h-e-a-d; Hair. After drawing, ask the students to cut out the pattern with scissors and say the words in the cut picture while cutting. After cutting, I began to do puzzles. I said the students spelled the same thing. After spelling, see who spells the most beautiful face, reward.
7 Jingle Middle School, the words are easy to grasp.
I connect the key words of each unit in series and make them into jingles, which is convenient for students to remember and read aloud. When teaching animals, I made up the following jingles: cats, cats, eating fish, monkeys, monkeys, like peaches, birds, birds, flying high, dogs, running fast, tigers, tigers, you are king, panda, panda, I love you. Elephant, elephant, you are strong ...
Learning words through games is very interesting.
A survey shows that more than 90% of primary school students like classroom games, mainly because games bring happiness to students' English learning and make the boring and mechanical teaching lively and interesting. Therefore, I introduce games into the classroom appropriately according to the teaching content. For example, when teaching some prepositions or phrases that indicate orientation, I designed the game "Who is the best porter", so that students can put the furniture in the corresponding position while listening to the teacher's instructions. See who's fast and good.
Second, grasp the "three customs" and learn words accurately
English words are composed of three parts: sound, form and meaning. Only by grasping these three levels can we really remember words and lay a solid foundation for further learning English.
1 Pay special attention to pronunciation.
Pronunciation of words is the basis of learning words, and being able to listen and speak words accurately is the basis of learning and using English well.
A pay attention to listening and correct pronunciation. In teaching, I strictly ask them to develop good pronunciation habits, play recordings, let students listen carefully and feel correctly, and then the teacher demonstrates the mouth shape, so that students can hear and see clearly before imitating, so that students can pronounce every sound well and read every word correctly, laying a solid foundation for learning.
B use homophones to remember the pronunciation of words interestingly. For transliteration words such as sofa, jacket and chocolate, I will tell them the meaning and memorize the pronunciation of these words skillfully according to the homophonic meaning.
C use letters and memorize the pronunciation of words skillfully. In the teaching process, make full use of homophones to help students remember the pronunciation of words. Some letters have the same pronunciation as words, such as: see (c), eye (i), are (r), you (u), why (y) and so on. I ask students to mark letters next to the words so that they can remember their pronunciation.
2 Grasp the shape obstacle
Body is the carrier of pronunciation and the most difficult place for students. Correctly remembering the shape of words is an important step in memorizing words.
Understand it correctly. In order to make students remember the forms of words, I often show objects or pictures to let students know their forms and meanings and identify them accurately, and then show the words and pictures separately during the practice, so that students can find the forms and meanings according to the forms. Through these rounds, sound, form and meaning appear constantly, which deepens the impression and enhances the memory, and finally meets the requirements of reading.
Spell it accurately. Let the students observe the words first: which letters are made up of words (pay special attention to vowels); The composition and characteristics of words (what methods can be used for associative memory). Then let the students spell it accurately.
3 master the meaning of words
Meaning is the soul of a word. In order to make students remember the meaning of words, I often avoid saying them directly in teaching. Instead, we should try our best to help students experience and understand words by means of objects, pictures, stick figures, expressions and actions, so as to avoid students' dependence. For example, when teaching distinctive action words, such as singing, dancing, running, swimming, skating and skiing, I let the students perform on stage and the rest of the students guess what they mean. The students are very interested. They can win by guessing.
Third, practice and remember new words in various ways.
1 situational vocabulary, learn and use it flexibly
When reviewing the words about body parts and physical features, I created a simulated scene of meeting people at the station: (1) Give each student a card, describe the physical features of the classmate he is most interested in on the front, indicate the name of the classmate in English on the back, and then put the card into the box. (2) Choose three students who volunteered to meet people at the "station". Each student draws one from the box. According to the description of the card, let others find the "guests" to meet (encourage students to talk more in English). (3) Choose a "critical eye". In order to get all my classmates to participate in the activity, I also designed a scene in Looking for You: (1) You go out to play, your companions disappear, and you anxiously ask passers-by about their whereabouts. (2) Students work in pairs. A plays the discoverer and B plays the kind passerby or policeman. Write a dialogue. (3) Choose some good groups to perform in the class. (4) According to the performance, select the "best combination", "best actor" and "best content".
2 game penetration, practice words skillfully
It is children's nature to play, especially competitive games, which students enjoy. In teaching, I designed various games to help students memorize words skillfully:
(1) number. Number the words you have learned and do the quick response exercises of words to numbers. Such as (1) black flour (3) bread (4) bottle: No.3 P: bread T: black flour No.65438 +0.
(2) Organize and memorize words. Choose a representative from each group, each with a letter card. As soon as I heard what my classmates said, I reacted immediately. Read your letters aloud in order and arrange them side by side. Those who are slow will be eliminated.
(3) replace the text. Change a predetermined word into another word by changing or adding or deleting letters, and see which group thinks of the most words. Such as: bad bed, too many people, unstable standing, I don't know, and so on.
(4) Relay memory. Two groups of students take turns dictating the same words on the blackboard. After the first student finishes, the second student carries out the last word in turn to see which group is faster and more accurate. Finally, the teacher gave extra points to the winning group.
Please point to ... This game is especially suitable for the most confusing words. It is positive and interesting, which can effectively break through difficulties, eliminate students' fear of difficulties, and make it easy, so as to gain a happy learning experience. For example, when teaching stationery, I put the picture cards of the words "pen, ballpoint pen, pencil, pencil case (box), pencil sharpener" related to "pen" on the blackboard respectively, and each group randomly selects a classmate to take the stage and quickly points out the corresponding pictures according to the teacher's instructions to see who is fast and accurate.
(6) spelling matching. The competition is divided into two groups. After the teacher announced the start of the game, the first student in the first group said one sentence, the first student in the second group immediately said another sentence, and the second student in the first group went on to see which group was fast and good.
(7) the word solitaire. The class is divided into four groups. One student in each group writes a word on the blackboard, with a letter as the first letter and the last letter of the previous word as the first letter of the next word. Which group receives the most words in the specified time is the winner. For example: pen-nice-eight-tea-an-no-or-right, etc.
what did you have in your bag？ Show some objects, put them in an opaque bag and ask the students, "What's in the bag?" You guessed right, you can get the real thing.
(9) What is missing? Show some objects, let the students look at them for half a minute, then take something and ask, "PeaceGuess: What is missing?" Students who guess should say what is missing in English within 10 seconds.
(10) message. Each row is a group. Send a piece of paper to the students in the last row of each group and write a word on it. The teacher said that after the beginning, the students in the last row told the students in front of them the words on the paper, and the students told the students in front of them the words they heard … and so on. Finally, the students in the first row wrote the words on the blackboard, and the fastest and most accurate group won.
(1 1) Find a pair. Stick the pictures on the blackboard, and let the students draw the word cards one by one. Read the words on the word cards and paste them under the corresponding pictures on the blackboard. The group that scored more points won.
Listen and act. The game is similar to "touching the nose". After learning verbs such as running, walking, sitting, standing and swimming. Draw a student in each group and do the action in front. Students say verbs quickly, and the students on the stage do actions after hearing them. If they make a mistake, they will be eliminated and the fastest and most accurate person will win.
(13) "Word by word". Show the students the cards and let them find the words quickly. Such as: Xiao (Du), Bi (An), Tao (Ge), Bus (We), Brother (Other), etc.
(14) Word guessing game. Listen and guess the words; B look at the mouth and guess the words; C look at the action and guess the words; Look at the pictures and guess the words.
Fourth, competitive evaluation, keep enthusiasm.
Pupils are competitive and not willing to lag behind. Therefore, in word teaching, I use the competition mechanism to tap students' potential ability through reasonable evaluation, mobilize their initiative in learning, and make students willing to participate, compete and learn.
Fifth, lead the way and teach it to fish.
There is an old saying: "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish!" So I pay special attention to teaching students to learn and remember words by scientific methods (such as word formation, classification, comparison, induction, opposition memory, associative reasoning memory, decomposition memory, formula memory, allegro memory, argument memory, card memory, etc.). ), and organize students to discuss and exchange, so that students can learn easily and deeply and develop good study habits. For example, when teaching the usage of this and that, I didn't tell the students the meaning directly, but through the creation of scenes, let them understand first, then discuss in groups, and finally draw a conclusion, which describes something nearby; Refers to distant objects.
Sixth, review regularly to overcome difficulties.
German psychologist Ebbinghaus's verification shows that the law of forgetting is fast first and then slow, just remembering the material. The first hour has the fastest forgetting speed and the highest forgetting rate, and then it gradually slows down. If the knowledge to be memorized is not reinforced repeatedly within four to seven days, the memory will be suppressed, gradually deepened and even completely disappeared. Therefore, I attach great importance to the timely review of words after class, requiring students to spend about 10 minutes reviewing words at noon on the day they finish learning, before going to bed at night (about 12 hours), studying by themselves early the next day (about 24 hours) and this Saturday and Sunday (6 and 7 days). Students generally report that they spend less time, but the effect is good.
Seven, clever homework, fun consolidation.
If the distribution of words is limited to mechanical copying, students will get bored, which is not conducive to English teaching. So I give students some interesting homework, consolidate words and broaden English classes.
1 Put words into life. Say hello to mom and dad at different times every day; Go home and teach mom and dad the words the teacher taught today; Label your furniture and articles in English and read them once a day; Exchange phone numbers with classmates in English; Go to the market and see which fruits you can name. In this way, students always have words in their lives and use them everywhere, so that they can keep them firmly in their minds for a long time.
2. Make teaching tools. For the pictures or teaching AIDS to be used in teaching, arrange them one week in advance and let the students do them themselves. A week later, the "works" are used in class, and after class, models can be displayed and excellent works can be judged. In this way, students are interested in participating in the production, which can achieve the purpose of previewing words, enhance their practical ability and greatly stimulate students' interest in learning English. What a kill two birds with one stone!
3 Make postcards. After teaching the words "country and city", I asked the students to assume that they came from a certain country and wanted to send a postcard to a child in China, asking them to introduce their national flag, famous local cities and landmark buildings, so that they could use both Chinese and English.
Make a loose-leaf dictionary. The textbook takes the topic as the unit, and the words of the same type around the topic are relatively concentrated. So after each topic is completed, let students make loose-leaf dictionaries, which is infinitely creative.
5. Investigate the collection work. Investigate the phone numbers, hobbies, favorite colors, animals and sports of the classmates and make records.
Eight, carry out activities to expand extracurricular activities.
1 word accumulation memory contest. Encourage students to watch more, read more, find more and accumulate more after class, hold word accumulation and memory competitions, and expand the contact surface of words.
2 Extracurricular reading consolidates and enriches vocabulary.
3 Collect words in life and enjoy resources.
