小学英语课堂互动教学模式构建

摘要：

随着全球化进程的加剧，英语学习的重要性越来越突出，在小学教育和课堂教学中的基础性和必要性日益明显。

小学生学习英语有很多特点，他们学习主动性强，对新鲜事物很好奇，但是他们容易受到成人的影响，相对于青少年或者成人来说，他们的有意注意时间更短，持久性弱。

因此，探寻合适的方法来激发小学生学习英语的积极性至关重要。

研究表明课堂互动教学对小学生学习英语是非常有利的教学措施，本文作者将对小学英语教育中的互动教学模式进行深入分析，阐述目前小学英语课堂互动教学中存在的一些现实问题，从而提出能够适应能根据小学生英语学习特点的互动教学思路，通过运用竞争、多媒体、肢体语言、角色扮演等手段激发小学生的英语学习兴趣。
