中文摘要
众所周知,不论学习什么,记忆力都是至关重要的,尤其是在英语学习的过程中。
英语是一门语言,学习的过程中需要记忆大量的内容。
词汇对于语言学习者来说非常重要。
因此要想学好英语首先要掌握大量的词汇。
然而英语单词的记忆则一直是学生学习英语所面临的重大难题。
有些学生因记不住单词而失去了英语学习的兴趣。
为了帮助学生快速记忆英语词汇,教师们应该在英语教学中注重培养学生单词记忆的能力。
本文强调英语教学中学生单词记忆能力的培养,采用资料查找法、文献综述法和理论分析法,在介绍目前国内外所提出的特殊单词记忆法的基础上,阐述了记忆力的四大优秀品质即记忆的敏捷性,准确性,持久性及提取性。
根据记忆的这些优秀品质,本文提出了一系列的培养词汇记忆力的策略,从理论方面对在英语教学中如何培养学生单词记忆能力进行系统分析与总结探讨。
这些培养策略包括训练学生单词瞬间记忆能力,传授学生科学有效的词汇记忆的方法和词汇巩固的方法。
本文的最终目的是使学生的记忆力得到提高,使记忆单词不再是学生英语学习中的难题。
