词块教学在高中写作课中实施的有效性研究

论文摘要

写作在语言技能中是不可缺少的部分,如果学习者在写作中要表达他们的想法,就需要有充足的词汇。所以词汇的习得对英语学习至关重要。然而在平时课堂教学中,教师忽略了词汇教学的技巧和学生词汇学习策略与能力的培养,使学生在英语学习中遇到许多困难,尤其在语言输入和输出这一环节。即使学生花了很多的时间却收效甚微。在实际英语写作中由于缺乏对词汇深层涵义的理解导致许多学生不知如何组织句子、恰如其分地表达其意。因此作者根据词块的特点及其优势,在所任教的班级中进行了实验;并以二语习得中的对比分析和错误分析理论为基础,对高一学生在英语写作中存在的问题及原因进行分析,来进一步探讨词块教学对英语写作的可行性。通过在教学中对实验组被试采用词块教学,而控制组被试采用传统的词汇教学法,作者对实验进行比较和分析,认为词块教学对高中生的写作具有明显的实效性。这种实效性体现在:1、在英语语言学习中,采用词块教学的方法能够减少学生在写作中的语法错误;2、词块教学能够提高学生的语言运用能力,尤其是能够提高学生的书面表达能力。
