论农村小学生英语语感的训练与培养
摘要
语感是语言能力的核心。
学生的语感在他们的英语学习中起着重要的作用。
但它却经常被师生特别是农村小学的师生所忽视。
当前农村的小学生,与城里的小学生有很大的差距,仍处于“聋哑英语”的状态,大部分的老师都没有在刻意进行语感教学。
很多小学生在朗读短文或表演英语对话时,语调生硬,发音不够标准,习惯于死记硬背,毫无语言的韵律美感。
这一现象出现的原因有很多,例如人们忽视了英语语感培养的重要性;没有学习英语的良好的语言环境;农村英语教师师资力量薄弱;应试教育造成语言学习形式的单一等。
我们应该强调学生语感培养的重要性,从小学开始就必须有意识地耐心培养。
本论文首先阐述了英语语感的概念及它的重要性。
分析了当前农村小学生英语语感现状及引起这种现象的原因。
另外,还探讨了如何培养小学生良好的英语语感。
以下有很多措施可以提高学生的英语语感。
首先,家校结合激发学生的学习主动性。
其次,提高农村地区英语教师的素质。
第三,创建良好的英语学习环境和氛围。
第四,组织多种多样的语言活动。
例如,创设听说环境,加强读背训练,开展内容广泛和形式多样的课外活动等。
最后,帮助学生了解中西方文化差异,树立跨文化意识。
只要坚持努力,农村小学的英语教学将会取得很大进步,学生最终能达到顺畅流利地运用这门语言。
