2、d patience this project would not even have got off the ground.I am also grateful to my colleagues Wang Ruichong, Shi Yuying and Nie Jingmei for their time spent on brainstorming and panel discussions with me.No amount of thanks will be adequate for my students without whose willing participation in

4、ort of a project implemented to solve the problem that most of my students cant remember the new words. It is hypothesized that learners memory will be greatly increased by a better organization in this respect. This hypothesis is verified by a four-week practise of well-organized activities.Among t

7、aching experience. That is: Although I spend much time teaching the students to learn English, and although I use many methods to make them show interest in English, some of them just show a little interest in it.I examined my problem scientifically to see whether it is researchable. I discussed and

8、 agreed on the problem with the tuthor. At the same time, I worked out the timetable of my project. (to See Appendix).Second, I used several methods of problem analysis to analyze the problem. (to see Appendix) They are the analytic method, cause analysis, interview and brainstorming. Through the pr

9、oblem analysis, I have made up my mind to solve the problem.1. Project objectiveTo teach students how to remember new words.2. Project hypothesisIt is hypothesized that students will learn new words by heart if I can guide the class to remember new words.3. Project rationale1）The role of speaking in

10、 class and its purpose- I would like to give the purpose of communication, making it close to real-life. This means that the students should feel relaxed and free in class. They should also see that speaking to their peers has a purpose and does not have to be evaluated by the teacher all the time.

11、The emphasis should shift from accuracy to fluency.2） The role of the students- I would like the students to feel that learning is not a competitive one, but a collaborative endeavour. They should come to realize that they can learn from each other and help each other, especially in speaking as it i

12、s not a skill they can practice on their own.3) The role of the teacher-Students should realize that the teacher has many roles in the classroom, not just that of evaluator, I would like to demonstrate these different roles so that students realize when the teacher tasks a major instructional role i

13、n class and when she takes only a minor helping role. I would like students to get used to being responsible for their own learning and not depending on the teacher all the time.4) The types of class tasks used- I think all of the above can be dealt with by designing and using appropriate tasks in t

14、he lesson. If students have to do information-gap tasks, which require them to gain information from their partner by means of questioning and listening and to give information to their partner by listening and responding adequately to questions, I feel they can be shown the value of communicating w

15、ith their peers.4. New Words DesignI designed an adequate amount of activities to test the hypothesis. If the activities of remembering new words are better designed, the students will learn English hard and well.In my project I decide to improve my techniques of teaching how to remember new words.I

16、 have designed four activities to be tried out in four weeks. And these activities are reported as follows .Week 1Activity Lesson 7 Unit 1 Book 2 learning English. Purpose: Guide the students to remember these words (run sorry jump stop stand time me sit sing down) according to the pronunciation. In

17、struction:“Pronunciation Rules” method-To remember new words according to pronunciation. Students listen to the teacher carefully and then learn the new words by heart according to the pronunciation.Procedure: The teacher explains how to remember the new words according to the pronunciation, and the

18、n students read after the teacher. Students remember the new words in pairs. Then ask some students to write them on the blackboard. Week 2Activity2. Lesson 11 Unit2 Book2 Learning English. Purpose: Teach the new words by sentences to make the students remember them easily. Instruction:“Making sente

19、nces” method-To remember new words by making sentences. The teacher teaches the new words by sentences and then students read the new words after the teacher, then students make sentences with these new words and remember them. Finally check the new wards in pairs.Week 3Activity3 Lesson17 Unit3 Book

20、2 Learning English. Purpose: Guide students to remember the words according to word structures.Instruction:“Word Forming” method-To remember new words according to word structures, including add prefix, add suffix or compound. The teacher gives the examples (eg: quick + ly quickly/ Care + ful carefu

21、l/ un + happy unhappy) and then explain it (adj +ly adv./ n +fuladj). Students read after the teacher. Students remember the new words and then check the words in pairs.Week 4Activity 4This activity is based as Lesson28 Unit 4Book2 Learning English Purpose: Play games and help students to remember w

22、ords.Instructions :“Playing Games” method To remember new words by playing games. In class the teacher teaches the new words. Then shows the students how to play games with the words. The teacher gives the word cards to the students, then Say a word (e.g: last), the students who have the word “last”

23、 card stand in front of blackboard in order. The student loses who is the last. The teacher tells the students he/she will let them play games like this in front of the class next day. They will learn the new words by heart alone or in groups after class.5. Project implementationMy students are one-

24、year students.It took me four weeks to implement my project. In four weeks, I want to know which class will win in the examination. Finally, the students from class 1which have been taught how to remember the new words show more interest in English than the students in Class 3 who havent been taught

25、 how to remember the words. The score of Class 1 is also higher than that of Class 3. In class 1, there are 46 students saying that English is very easy and interesting, they are interested in it, but in Class 3, there are 24 students saying that they are interested in English. After an examination,

26、 the score of Class 1 is 89.5, while the score of Class 3 is 80.3.Comparison Table:Interest in EnglishOf students percentageThe examing resultScore percentageClass 324 46%81.3 80.3%Class 144 89.3%89.5 89.3%7.
