英语课堂中怎样让词汇教学更有效？
As a student who major in English for teachers, as a teacher in the future, teaching methods will play an considerably significant role in my future class. There are a lot of kinds of teaching methods, for example, the grammar translation method, the direct method, the audio-lingual method, the cognitive approach, the communicative approach, the task-based teaching approach, etc. Among these teaching methods we have learned, what impressed me the most was the audio-visual method. Audio-visual method also called the situational approach, it bases on the direct method and the audio-lingual method, and emphasis that the skills of listening and speaking should be taught before reading and writing in order to develop oral language skills. It combines language and real situations in our daily life to improve students’speaking ability. What’s more, the textbook of audio-visual method mainly consists of daily dialogues. Mother language doesn’t appear frequently in the process of the teaching.According to my observation, the situational approach is frequently used by the teachers. The teaching order is “dialogue-sentence-vocabulary-pronunciation”. First, teachers may ask some questions about the topic to lead in. They will discuss the questions together, then the students share their own opinions. Teachers always focus on the text on their textbooks, especially the dialogues. They will read for the students or play the type. After listening, the whole class will read loudly together in order to keep the right pronunciation in mind. After this, teachers will explain the corresponding meanings in Chinese. Second, every sentence in the dialogue will be explained, including the pronunciation and the Chinese meanings. This part will mainly focus on the grammar. Once a new sentence pattern or language point shows up, teachers will teach the students not only to understand it, but also to have the ability to change it. They usually do some exercises , like writing some sentences by their own, or creating new dialogues with their partners. Third, teachers may highlight the key words in the dialogues which they should fully master in this class. Vocabulary learning contains pronunciation, writing, English meaning and Chinese meaning. And they will memorize these words through their homework after class. Last, the students may work in pairs to begin the role play activity, and act their dialogues to the whole class.In my opinion, just like every coin has two sides, every teaching method has its own advantages and disadvantages. The audio-visual method is not perfect, it always provide a designed situation on the textbook to the students, in stead of offering students the chance to find more practical dialogues which can be used frequently in their daily life. However, there is no doubt that this method can intrigue students’ interests of any topic.。
