terms of effective teaching
Ruian Bao Dai Xiao Tian West Middle School

one. the importance of teaching vocabulary
total vocabulary of modern English has reached 200 million, is the world largest language vocabulary. There is not enough words can not effectively listening, speaking, reading and writing, you can not communicate effectively in English. No words would not be able to apply the ideas of structure and function. Vocabulary of the students is the biggest “stumbling block”, not only the large number of English words, and very active, as human society continues to evolve, also changing the language in which words change the fastest, the most obvious. Variability of the English vocabulary for students to stay away, in the “nine years of compulsory full-time Middle School English Syllabus” is such a requirement on the words, “for junior high school graduates to be proficient in the vocabulary required to apply basic spelling rules of spelling words ; according to the study of word formation judgments and memory derived words and compound words meaning and parts of speech; to acquire 800 or so words, 200 or so idioms and fixed with a can in written practice use. In addition, calls for an expanded 400 – 500 or so reading vocabulary. “
teachers should be scientifically and systematically teach the word to students, to enable students to better grasp the meaning of words, parts of speech and idioms and fixed match.
two . vocabulary teaching status
However, in practice, teaching, some teachers vocabulary teaching “so that students know what to do. They focus only on the pronunciation, grammar and sentence of teaching, knowledge, repeated explanations, repeated practice, patiently and just want your students can achieve high scores in examinations. But he is not for the importance of teaching vocabulary, that vocabulary does not need to be teaching or just read on, as long as the word teach students to read and understand what it means, after school let students go back, and then to the students to complete dictation vocabulary teaching . Teachers, students do not pay attention also led to the contempt of the word, do not want a lot of effort in vocabulary learning and the accumulation, but what a surprise before the exam, psychological exam holding on and hoping to sit even after almost forgotten.
teachers at the beginning of the time in teaching vocabulary is not given due attention, leading students to find the right learning method, lost confidence in learning English, and thus lost interest.
So, how easily and effectively enable students to master a certain amount of vocabulary, have a good vocabulary off? Here I combine high-quality lesson last Wenzhou rural design vocabulary to talk about teaching methods some opinions.
three . vocabulary teaching principles and methods
(1) should be prioritized, not a balanced force
English syllabus for each unit are made of words specific requirements , mainly from listening, speaking, reading and writing to four different levels of requirements, but some teachers in the teaching, not according to the outline of the requirements, but the same treatment for each word, are “old brain child.” to impart to their students. We should prioritize, do not balance the job force. The quality is a 7th grade class competition on unit7How much are these pants? More words in this unit, we decided to analyze the number 11-30, clothing, colors, adjectives (big, small, short, long) as the key words .
(2) . The creation of context, scenarios and games
teachers presented the first thing to attract the attention of students interested in them, that they treat a foreign language will be a positive learning attitude, heart also will be very eager to learn the language, although more difficult to learn and consolidate more difficult, but because of a positive attitude, and want to learn a kind of strong feelings, they are willing to make an effort to master this language, in order to achieve the future can classmates, teachers have good performance in front, and even foreigners can see that the two effects. So, we can use scenarios, context or games to teach the word, these are a favorite high school students, because although the simulation scenario, but at least like being in a real communicative situation, these can enable students to truly participate in activities, is the familiar scene of their daily, for example, in this last lesson we designed yard sale, the students in simulated situations to use and master new vocabulary. This makes them eager to learn the word, naturally they are willing to pay a sweat. All of these are young people at this stage because of a strong vanity, love of performance, to attract attention of the age characteristics.
Also in the presentation of new words, our idea is to use scenarios, context and games to improve students enthusiasm, so that the new words from their mouth and spit it out to students and teachers to create situations it is , open hand for students to call the shots. So our design is:
digital design vocabulary of the situation:
1. Watch a movie (it is about sports),

2. Goffy likes sports. And he has a sports collection. I like sports, I have a sports collection, too.Today I bring them here. (out of box) what are they?
< br /> 3. the students guess the soccer ball, ping-pong balls
and the number of table tennis in the number of review when the old knowledge 1-9
4. teachers with the students play ping-pong and count (1-30)
here is from the mouth and spit out new words students 11-30, students have them integrated into the game, so naturally put spit out new words and use.
have a part in the following years, in terms of clothing presented here, we also designed a scenario:
clothing vocabulary situations designed to:
1. I have long clothes, short clothes, small clothes and big clothes.
2. I have a clothes collection. What are they? Can you guess?
S1 … … S2 … …
from the student mouth and spit out a natural word on the new clothing Of course using these teaching methods, teachers workload is relatively large, and their own quality of teachers demanding. First, to fully pre-class preparation, the use of English words and the students learned more familiar, the whole class to be able to use English teaching, the ease of English classes to solve problems.
(3) terms of induction
comparison between things is to summarize the relevant part of the features to control , to determine the same or a different way of thinking. Through analysis and synthesis of things, to grasp the various features, differences in seeking the same, and to be abstract and general, in order to deepen the impression, enhance memory . in the English vocabulary teaching, the sound, form, meaning the same, similar or opposite words put together to analyze their characteristics, and make timely induction; help students to isolated, fragmented knowledge, string together; guide Students grasp the knowledge of the intrinsic law, to overcome Analogues point, error-prone points; to equip students with the science of learning, relaxed and happy to accept knowledge, and knowledge learned replicability, by analogy, and actively form a structured and systematic knowledge networks, have a multiplier effect.
For this, we are spit out new words in the students, the teacher can be summarized with the words together, to guide students to identify the laws, to help students in learning vocabulary is generated when migration, improve memory effect. We demonstrate the following three aspects of this teaching method:
1 . Number of words grouped
In the students while playing table tennis, while a few numbers, write the numbers 11-30 on the blackboard, the teacher conscious of the first to write 14,16,17 , 19, because these numbers are a regular, write 13, 15, 18, these three figures have changed little, and then is 11, 20,21,22,30,31 and 12 and then there is the purpose of using red chalk teen. finished, the students had clearly know their rules, and automatically summarized.
2 . Clothing vocabulary induction
When the students in the guess my clothes collection, our courseware on the layout of the word is luxurious.
Sweater skirtshirtT -shirt
socks shoespantsshorts
hatbag jacket
word in the first row of the years, I wonder if you have not noticed all upper body clothing, After three years and have ir. second row of the words are lower body clothing, and all plural forms, the first three rows have the same word in a letter, and pronounced the same students in the teacher conscious under the guidance of their own can be clearly summarized.
3 . in writing on the blackboard design
We also This reflects the way teaching and our writing on the blackboard are:
Unit7 How much are these pants?
Words Teaching
Price Size Color

10 ten 20 twenty smallbigyellow
11 eleven 21 twenty-one short longblue
12 twelve 22twenty-twored

structure clarity, fully embodies the principle of induction, significantly reduced the teaching the difficulty.
(4) words scroll to reproduce
new terms need to constantly reproduce and use, so as to enable students to effectively control the vocabulary of this lesson, which is the vocabulary of the students continue to roll in use, to achieve the correct pronunciation, correct understanding of the meaning and use of a skilled process in this lesson in many ways reflect this teaching. number of words Scroll to reproduce :
