教学反思:
这段时间由于我在学生每天记十个词前,先领读他们一遍,再分开音节,讲一讲英语的拼读规则,发现学生的记忆效率大大的提高。如果让他们把每单元几句重点句背下来,学习效果是不是更好呢?单词需要积累,这点勿容置疑。对于我们的学生来说,典型句子同样需要积累。句子背下来,在用的时候就可以举一反三,就像语文中背范文一样。对于我们那些基础较差的学生来说,他们在交际时需要模仿,在他们的记忆库中贮存就是十必要的。当然,如果学生能够在课堂上用英语去表达的话,说明这些典型的句子他们已经掌握。但现实的情况是,这种方法更容易适用于尖子生,或者基础较好的学生,很多学生只是充当的观众。
另外,在本单元的教学中我还补充了相关知识,让学生对各地的名胜古迹、历史风情、地理知识等知识的进一步了解,从而实现英语与其他各学科之间的渗透。
让学生死记硬背是不对的,但不让学生背也是不对的。X k b1.c om
