词汇教学理论及其在中学英语教学中的应用

论文摘要

词汇是学习一门语言的基础,词汇量的大小,直接影响着一个外语学习者的外语水平。然而,词汇,无论对于英语学习和教学来说,都可能成为一个“拦路虎”。因此,我们外语教师就需要探讨有效地扩大词汇量的教学策略。为此,本文探讨了英语词汇学习的策略,分析了词汇习得的主要过程,介绍了应用语言学一些相关的新理论。就词汇教学问题而展开研究的很多,但是,应用语言学研究的新发现,例如认知语言学的隐喻研究的成果等对中学英语词汇教学进行的研究尚不多见。本文就这方面的研究进行了探索,并试图通过课堂教学的实践研究来证明:英语词汇的隐喻认知教学能够激发学生的英语学习兴趣,能够扩大学生的词汇量,提高词汇教学的有效性。
