The Effect of English Lexical Phrase Instruction in Senior Middle Schools

论文摘要

本文研究教师加强中学英语课本中的词汇短语教学是否可以提高学生英语学习的意识和英语学习的能力。论文基于在英语语言和其他世界上的语言中的大量的词汇总是以‘词块’(chunk)的方式存在和使用,并且这些词汇短语比单个的单词包含有更大的信息。心理语言学的研究表明这些词汇短语便于整个的存储和提取,可以加快学习者的语言加工速度。词汇短语遍及学生的课本中和其他的阅读材料中,如果教师在教学过程中加强对学生词汇短语学习的指导,那么他们将会受益于词汇短语的学习。本研究的对象是高三年级的学生。实验组为47人;控制组为45人。在各种条件相同的情况下,本人对实验组进行了八周的词汇短语教学。教学实验分为三个阶段。第一阶段:前测和采访调查。第二阶段:词汇短语教学实施。第三阶段:数字收集分析和结论。教学实验后测结果分析表明学生成绩有了较大的提高。接受词汇教学的英语学习者从课堂听课,阅读理解以及实际应用考试中在某种程度上对词汇短语学习的意识大大增强。他们能够更加自由地、熟练地运用所学词汇短语于听、说、读、写技能活动中。这表明课堂词汇短语教学确实能对学生的英语学习产生影响,提高学生的成绩。词汇短语教学在高级中学英语教学中是确实有效和可行的。
