48、方开始从小学就开始接触英语,我们不难看出,学习英语会对我 们以后的工作和学习有很大的好处,学生的成长似乎已经离不开 英语,那就让我们一起来研究该怎样培养学生良好的英语学习习 惯。根据我国基础教育阶段英语课程改革的精神,自今年起,我 乡小学生三年级开始学习英语。这对刚毕业的我们,无疑是一项 新的挑战。如何教好三年级起始阶段的英语,帮助学生打好扎实 基础,使学生的英语综合能力在小学时期得到最好的培养,成为 我最近一直在思考和探索的主要教研方向。英语是一门工具学科。要掌握英语,除了需学习一定的语音、词汇、语法知识外,还得练就扎实的听、说、读、写基本功。换言之,英语学习必须通过大量的听、说、读、写训练
49、。从这点 出发,可以说,英语学习的过程也是习惯养成的过程。特别在学 生刚学习英语的三年级起始阶段,培养他们良好的英语学习习 惯,我认为是最至关重要的。下面就如何在三年级起始阶段培养 学生良好的英语学习习惯谈谈我的一些看法。一、专心地听。要求:认真听示范发音,听清后再模仿。用心听他人说英语。学习英语是从“听”起步的。“听”是“说”的前提,没有“听”,就无从模仿“说乙只有听得清,听得懂,才能说得准,说得好。用心地多听他人说英语,有助于培养对英语的敏捷反应。因此,培养学生认真听教师或者录音的示范发音,用心听他人说英语是 最重要的。儿童心理学告诉我们,小学生爱模仿,模仿性强,但缺乏自 控能力。课堂上,
50、常有学生一听教师示范发音,就急于开口模 仿,轻声跟讲,结果导致自身发音欠准,而且还影响了他人听音。因此,在英语起始教学阶段,教师就要训练学生静心听,可采用“手势暗示法”,即教师随着示范发音打手势“一、二、三、四、五”,这时学生边听教师发音,边看教师嘴形,注意观察其大、小、扁、圆及变化情况,做到看明、听清,当打“五”结束后教 师双手挥起,全班齐声模仿。这样,发音易到位,模仿效果好。小学生听录音跟说跟读,往往只满足于“听到“,能跟得上说,跟得上读,而不注意语音、语调、句重音、停顿等。因此,教师 要引导学生“听清”,在播放录音前,可分步提出听的具体要求,使听一遍录音,便有一次收获。英语课堂教学是小学
