长沙市重点中学初二学生英语学习现状调查

论文摘要

初二年级学生虽然活泼好动、有较强的英语学习动机和浓厚的学习兴趣,但十分突出的分化现象直接影响整个中学阶段的英语成绩,而且阻碍了初中英语教学质量的提高。初中英语教学到目前为止仍然围绕着中考这根无形的指挥棒转。为了应付考试,老师不得不把大量的时间花在习题讲解上,而留给师生交流和学生能力提高的时间少而又少。近年来的教学改革虽然取得了可喜的成绩,但并未出现根本性的改观。本研究以湖南省长沙市的四所重点中学长沙市一中、长郡中学、雅礼中学、师大附中的1000名初二年级学生为研究对象,采用问卷调查法进行调查研究,分析本市初二学生英语学习现状,从第一手的数据中发现问题,探索解决问题的方法,以提高教学质量。根据调查,笔者发现初二学生英语学习现状有如下特点:1、学生具有较强的学习动机和浓厚的学习兴趣,但学习动机大多来自外在因素,属于工具性学习动机。2、学生还没有形成良好的英语学习习惯,学习效果不佳,但尚有学习信心。3、教师仍采用传统的、单向传递的教学方式,缺乏情景和交际互动的教学,不利于学生英语实际运用能力的培养。4、教学环境和教学设施大有改观,全英语课堂教学和现代化多媒体辅助手段,给学生创造了良好的英语学习氛围。基于上述调查结果,笔者从学生、教师和社会三方面分析了该现状产生原因,并提出了相应对策:将任务型教学和合作学习运用到教学中去,采用快节奏教学法,以提高课堂教学的密度、广度和深度,从而提高英语教学效率,培养学生运用英语解决实际问题的能力。
