论词块教学法在小学英语词汇教学中的运用

论文摘要

词汇是语言学习中一个极其重要的组成部分,也是各项语言能力的基础,它在语言学习中起着举足轻重的作用。因此,从事第二语言学习的专家学者、外语教师和教育者们从不同角度对外语词汇学习作了深入的研究,对词汇学习做出了很大的贡献。词块法是近十年来受到国内许多专家、学者们关注的新教学方法。词块法对词汇习得的实效性已在全国一些高校、中学得到实证,并得到了许多专家和学者的充分肯定。但它在小学的起始阶段是否可行?目前很少有人用实证的方法加以研究。本论文的目的就是想通过实证的方法,探究词块法用于小学英语教学的可行性与有效性。为了验证词块法的可行性与有效性,本论文采用文献综述和实证的方法进行研究。论文首先分析了目前农村小学英语词汇学习存在的问题和成因,并通过评述“词块法”的教学理念和优势,从理论上分析了“词块法”的可行性,然后介绍了作者在龙岩市松涛小学三年级(2)班开展为期10周的英语词汇“词块法”教学实验,并取得了相关数据。实验班在前后两次测试中平均分的显著差异表明:词块法对词汇学习有明显效果,而且不同层次的学生取得的进步程度不同。语义场、神经语言学和心理语言学等理论支持了本教学实验,这些理论依据都证实了词块法在词汇学习中的可行性和有效性。词块法具有推广的价值。同时,本文也指出了本研究的局限性,提出进一步研究本课题的建议。
