2.Positive effects of music Music, as one of the oldest forms of art, has many positive effects.It is closely related to peoples’ life.First music is a great language package that bundles culture, vocabulary, listening, grammar and a host of other language skills.Second, music not only can control the rhythm of human body, but also has a direct influence on human brain.Music can cheer up a person, make a person full of high spirit, and even bring out a person’s active mood.So it can help the brain memorize things more quickly and help to keep them for a much longer time The third, as Duan Ruiling(1997)ever mentioned that “students’ big attainment in music, or high music intelligence, has a positive influence on their pronunciation.”

3.Some connections between music and English learning Music and language have some features in common.Such as stress, tone, pauses

and rhyme.Sounds are the roots of both music and speech.Both of them are from the process of sounds, and are used by their authors or speakers to convey a message.Beside music has a great positive effect on the development of English skills.“The higher one’s music intelligence is, the more sense of rhythm of spoken English he has.According to Fonseca Mora(2000)” , music nature of language influences an English learner’s pronunciation and even the whole process of his English study.Additionally, the relationship between listening and speaking can not be ignored.Language input comes before language output.Listening is a process of information input.While speaking is a process of information output.In other words, music is a kind of language input which helps the learner to store and convey all kinds of information.4 Some advantages of English songs 4.1 English songs can arouse interest and heighten confidence Everyone likes songs.English songs are enjoyable and attractive because of their affective power.Songs can create an atmosphere that makes people feel relaxed.So, the students will not feel so anxious or shy to speak English as they are attracted by the interesting music.As we know interest is the best guide.When students feel enjoyable, their interest can be easily stimulated.If in the course of learning, teachers teach some songs with part of the language rules, the students will participate in singing actively, therefore this kind of activity would help the students to memorize the language materials.By singing English songs, the interest to learn English is aroused.At the same time if those who are learning English can sing in English, they will have the feeling of success.This success is just the motivation to learn English and drive them to learn more.It can also rise students’ confidence.When teachers find some students are lacking of the confidence to speak English loudly, teachers can use this method to let these students sing English songs and to encourage them to speak out English bravely.Thus the confidence of the students would be more easily heightened.4.2 English songs can strengthen memory and accumulate language materials.In the language learning a lot of knowledge need to be remembered specially.It will take a lot of time to read and recite mechanically.After some time, the knowledge will all be forgotten.If we write songs with these language rules or choose suitable songs, we will find it is easy to remember.The language in the songs may be not written for particular language learning.But it provides more chances for the students to contact with English.The more English knowledge they contact, the better their spoken English is.When students learn the words or language points in a song, the words or language points will be very easier to be remembered for they appear in their brains again.In the revision lesson, we can strengthen students’ memory by singing songs and they will summarize language regularity.Besides, singing English songs is the course of accumulating language materials.They learn words, phrases and all kinds of expressions from songs.In people’s daily life songs are more natural than language;songs like can come into people’s hearts quietly and naturally and accompany people’s lives.When students listen to more songs they will speak or sing out without thinking and use these words, phrases and expressions fluently.Moreover the language learning from the songs will not be forgotten.And even these songs will accompany students’ lives.With the improvement of language level, they will understand the lyrics and master the language naturally.Here is another example:

As is known to all, the United States has fifty-two states, and many of the names of these states are not so easy to pronounce accurately and remember well.While Susan Nipp’s song The United States can give some help because it contains all of the fifty-two states in the lyric: “The United States, the United States, I love my country the United States, There’s Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut and Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, and Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri…” As songs are always full of emotions and rhythm, singing aloud with the help of the melody and the musicality of language is useful for memorizing words.4.3 English songs are good for learning pronunciation and rhythm.Listening to and singing English songs as more as possible contributes much to learning accurate pronunciation, intonation and rhythm of spoken English.From English songs, we can get lots of phonetic knowledge, such as, change of length of vowels, pauses plosives, lose of plosives, sound linking, weak-forms, assimilation, stress, rhythm and so on.Linguistic researches have already shown that every language has its own intonation and rhythmic.According to Fonseca Mora, music and language have common features;they are stress, tone, pauses and rhythm.Here is a simple song Come `and `See `My `Family in which sound linking is reflected.“Come `and `see `my `family, ︶

`Under `the `old `apple `tree!︶

`This `is `my `father.`How do you do? ︶

`Sit `down `and `have `a `cup `of `tea `with `me.” ︶︶

In this song, the technique of sound linking is so obvious that we can make use of it to achieve fluency that is an important factor in spoken English.4.4 English songs are good for students to control grammar In English teaching, grammar is an important part and the students sometimes feel bored to learn grammar.So if teachers can combine some grammar principles with songs, it would be a good way for the students to identify and remember the principles.Take this English song “yours and mine” for example:

“Look at around and you will see, All the things belong to you and me.Look around and you will find, This whole world is yours and it’s mine.Every bird, every flower, every tree, they all belong to you and me.”

From this song students should understand how to use “me, you, mine and yours.And these words also can be changed to them, theirs, him his, her, hers, and so on.Then the students can use all of them.4.5 English songs are a source of aural input English songs are a kind of especially good listening material.Compared with some English test listening materials, they are more interesting, motivating, attractive and unforgettable.They are never dull.As is mentioned in this paper, listening is closely related to speaking, and more language input is helpful for more effective language output.Listening to English songs as often as possible is in some way good for the improvement of speaking ability.4.6 English songs contain amounts of comprehensive language knowledge English songs contain a lot of language knowledge.This mainly reflects in words, phrases, idioms, expressions, sentence patterns, and also spoken grammar.Actually, spoken language is not merely a variant of “correct” written forms.In spoken English, we can find the widespread utilization of ellipsis.For example, we can often hear sentences in English songs like “Don’t know why, don’t know why…” which has no subject.The subject(maybe “I”)is left out here.This kind of ellipsis phenomenon occurs frequently in oral communication.As we know, in English study, there are so many words, expressions, and even rules of spoken grammar to remember and then to use freely and correctly;and usually they seem to be so dull or difficult.In spite of this, for effective oral communication, it is still quite necessary to master as many as possible.Then learning English songs may be a not bad choice, because lyrics of English songs contain a large vocabulary, sentence patterns and spoken grammar.Besides, words in English songs are often simple and vivid, and most of them are those used in daily life of the western people.Last but not the least, as lyric embodies the development of society, we can get new words and expressions easily and quickly.New words often come along with the progressing of society.Some words are given more meanings or an entirely different meaning;some are not used any more or are used just on a few special occasions.As new age brings new things, by learning pop songs, we will be able to get the newest and most modern words and expressions.4.7 English songs carry rich foreign culture

Introducing songs into language learning has incomparable effects in introducing social backgrounds and cultures of English speaking countries.“As Laroy said, ‘songs are a very traditional learning aid.Learning through songs can actually be described as being very natural.This naturalness is demonstrated by the fact that in all cultures singing songs has always been one of the most wide spread ways for children to learn.Songs have always accompanied important events in life and have transmitted a good deal of traditional culture…” Many English songs have existed for a long time, they can tell us much information about the culture of a country and the history.Speaking good English needs some background knowledge of English-speaking countries.Take the English songs Silent Night Holy Night for example: “Round young virgin mother and child!” “Shepherds quake at the sight!” “Christ the Savior is born!” “Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.” All these sentences tell us the famous foreign holiday---Christmas Day.From this song, we can learn many useful words about Christmas such as “Virgin Mother”, ”shepherds”, “Christ the Savior”, “Jesus”, etc..So we can remember all of them easily and keep them in mind for a long time.In the song Dance Carol, there is such a sentence: “Easter would come when Christmas is done if lent…” From this sentence, we can know the holiday---Easter, and the important knowledge: Easter comes after Christmas.Thus we can remember this very easily and keep it in mind for a long time.From another song Rain, Rain, Go Away, we can learn that the special geographical position of England leads to large amounts of rainfall and changeable weather.So, the English greet each other like this, “Lovely day, isn’t it?” Once we know about this, when we greet people in English we will never say like Chinese, “Have you eaten?” or “Where are you going?”.Therefore, to speak more authentic English, we have to know much about western culture, which can help to avoid making stupid mistakes in real communication with the Western people.5.The methodology of using English songs to teach English 5.1 The selection principles of English songs In modern world, music is everywhere;songs are available almost everywhere.So it is very easy to touch English songs.When we use English songs to serve teaching.We should pay attention to some aspects

First, the lyrics should connect with the content of teaching.For example, when we teach the English number, the song “ten little Indians” would be the best choice.Second, choosing songs should accord to the character of age and psychology of learners.Only when we choose songs by thinking about these factors can the learners receive the great achievement in English learning.Teachers should choose the songs according to the students’ English level.Some English songs are longer and more difficult, which is not good for low level learners.Like children’s songs Colors of the Wind, My Golden Sun, My Little Table, etc.is good for children to learn.And songs like Eyes on Me, Yesterday Once More, Big Big World, etc.is good for adults to learn.Thirdly, teaching English songs should be timely and in the right quantity.In addition, teaching songs should have distinct aims, after singing a song the students would know what language point they can learn from the song.For example the song “Head and shoulders” is a good example.The lyrics are: “head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees ands toes.Eyes and ears and mouth and nose, head and shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes.” After learning this song the students should understand what a countable noun is and what is an uncountable noun.So the aim of learning is obvious.5.2 The steps of teaching English songs For English teachers, English songs are also a very good aid of helping students to improve their English ability.Teachers can use different teaching aids like: the tape recorder, the computer and etc.to teach the new song.Before teaching the song teacher could ask some questions according to the lyrics such as: “What words can you hear from the song?” “What is the theme of the song?”.“What happened to the people?” Teachers also should give students some background information about the song which would help students to understand the song.Here introduce some steps of teaching English songs.The steps are: Step1.Listen for the first time and try to think about the theme of the song.Step2.Listen for the second time and third time, try to make out every word and phrase as well as possible.And at the same time pay attention to word pronunciation and sound linking.Step3.The forth time, looking at the lyric of the song and this time focus on the rhythm, especially the words that stress falls on.Step4.Sing the song by following the tape or MTV;and learn the rhythm.Step5.Read out aloud the whole lyric, and especially pay much attention to some good words, phrases and sentences and try to learn them by heart.Step6.Sing the song with full passion as similar to the original singing as possible and try to sing the whole song correctly and fluently.Step7.Evaluate or retell the song;express inner feelings or introduce the song to others.These steps above are suggested mainly for improving English pronunciation, to master English rhythm, and then to improve spoken English.But in order to make more progress, large amounts of listening, imitating and practicing is needed.6.Conclusion From above, English songs play an important role in memorizing, pronunciation.And It helps arouse learners’ interest.It has a great effect on the development of English skills.Using English songs to enhance English skills can be a good choice.Various themes and rich background knowledge in English songs offer a good source for learning English.Also songs enrich students’ knowledge about English speaking countries, such as the history, culture and their value.Therefore, it is an effective way to make use of English songs to get rid of students’ “Chinese accent”.With English songs as a teaching aid, the learners will be able to improve their English.And it’s a kind embodiment of teachers’ comprehensive teaching skills.References 1．赵颖、李爱华.音乐和英语单词记忆 [J].大学英语，2003，6，P40 2．Fonseca Mora.Foreign language acquisition and melody singing [C].ELT Journal 54, 2000, 2, P150 4．裴正薇.音乐智力对英语听说的影响 [J].西安外国语学院学报，2004年第12卷，第3 期，P37 5．石兰.英语口语节奏分析 [J].江苏教育学院学报（社会科学版），2001年第17卷，第3 期，P89

英文教学 篇2

电影作为一项直观的艺术表现形式，向观众展现了真实生活与虚幻世界中的各个层面。随着英语教学课堂中现代多媒体的手段的普遍应用，英文电影的大量引进和相关资料的发行，使英文电影赏析课程成为可能。在教学中恰当使用英文电影进行英语教学是一种非常有效的辅助教学手段。它强调语言学习和语言应用的结合，通过创造语言实践情境，使教学内容形象具体化，有效提高学生的英语实际运用能力。

二、英文电影在英语教学中的作用

电影语言来自于真实的语言环境，文化内容丰富，包括了社会生活的方方面面，是英美等国家的社会生活文化最直观生动的反映。熟练运用英语，就要了解英语国家文化，其价值观、人生观、风土人情，开阔视野。英文电影不仅是学习掌握英语的理想工具，也是熟悉和了解外国文化的很好的材料。比如，学生通过欣赏美国电影《飘》，对美国历史上的南北战争会有很直观深刻的了解，电影起到了其他教学手段不能比及的作用。

英文电影能够提高学生的英语听力能力，改善听的氛围。电影是集图像和声音于一体的艺术，它包含有非常丰富的内容、很直观的动作和形象，往往都有十分曲折的情节。电影艺术本身所具有的这些特点很能够激发学生的学习兴趣，唤起学生的好奇心，为他们营造了良好的氛围和环境，使他们在享受中提高英语语言的能力。

英文电影能够使学生体验到地道标准的英语发音。语音不仅是单词的发音，还包括真实交际的词汇的连续、失去爆破、弱化、重音等。大部分英文电影的主要角色发音标准，使用了非常生活化的语言，对培养学生良好的语调节奏和语感起到了重要的作用。电影还提供了真实生动的情景英语，使学生能够在耳濡目染中模仿英美人纯正的语音语调。

三、教师在英文电影教学中的实践操作

1. 教师应选择适合学生学习的英文电影

电影与其他教育手段一样，其所隐含的人生观、价值观和世界观会对学生有潜移默化的影响。电影的题材十分广泛，内容涉及政治、经济、文化、宗教等方方面面，所以教师对影片的选择要十分慎重，对电影材料的选择要以树立正确、健康向上的人生观、价值观和世界观为依据，同时还要提醒学生对电影内容有批判式的了解，使学生能以正确的角度和心态来解读西方人的思想意识、道德标准和风俗习惯。比如，电影中所体现的自信、正直、诚实、乐观、协作、责任、爱国、环保等观念应是学生学习的主要内容，对消极的人生观、价值观和世界观要能够进行辨别，加以摈除，不能盲目学习，甚至崇拜某些不健康的思想和理念。在这个过程中，教师的引导作用非常重要，不可或缺。

2. 教师和学生的课前准备要充分

教师应查阅和电影背景、文化等有关的资料，进行人物角色的分析等。对电影中难懂的句子、佳句名句和俚语给予必要的解释。教学活动的设计要充分，同时指导学生进行分工，查阅有关资料，为更好地理解电影做好课前准备。教师可以向学生提出一些与影片相关的问题，以便学生在观看过程中进行思考。教师和学生都要提前做到心中有数，避免无的放矢，使课堂电影成为单纯的娱乐休闲活动，只是过于关注电影的故事情节，追求视觉感官的刺激，不重视语言的锻炼，起不到语言学习的效果。这样，教师仅仅是充当了一个电影放映员的角色，不能收到良好的教学效果，浪费了时间和有用的资源，与教学理念是背道而驰的。

3. 教师应精心组织课堂教学过程

学生根据老师的课前提问，带着问题去看电影。电影可以播放两遍，有字幕和无幕各一遍。也可以地一遍了解电影内容，第二遍分片段播放，深刻理解其内容和意义。此环节对电影的中文字幕应加以注意。有些音像出版社对电影的翻译有很多错误，不仅影响观看效果和对故事情节的理解，更让学生接收到了错误的语言信息，反而使得教学效果南辕北辙。在学生电影看完以后，教师可以选择其中的重点段落进行填空或听写训练。比如，可以截取电影中一段精彩对白，隐去图像，让学生反复听，调动学生积极运用有效的听力策略。鼓励学生写影评，讨论人物性格和事件，复述故事情节，模仿角色表演。选择发音标准的电影对白，让学生跟读、模仿。开展给电影配音的活动。在这项活动中学生能够更深入地体会英语表达，增强语感。对电影中的对白或经典歌曲，可以让学生背诵或学唱，从而激发学生的学习兴趣。这样可以起到巩固加深教学内容的作用，全面锻炼学生的听、说、读、写等能力。

四、结语

英文电影教学是英语课堂教学多元化的有效尝试，是一种有效的英语教学手段。它不仅可以激发学生的学习兴趣，丰富教学内容，而且可以使学生了解英语国家文化、价值观、人生观和风土人情，起到寓教于乐的作用。但要注意的是，英文电影教学应遵循一定的原则，采取一些行之有效的方法，避免单纯的娱乐和走马观花。

英文电影教学初探 篇3

【关键词】英文电影 教学 语言

英国语言学家Palmer认为：“语言必须在情景中呈现和练习”。必须通过真实的交际情景调动学生的学习积极性，即语言使用不能离开一定的社会情景。因此，用英文电影辅助英文教学，不仅保证了语言材料和语言环境的真实性，而且还生动地把文化知识、社交技巧、商业策略等展示出来，促使学生在跨文化的意识中培养语感，提高英文听说能力，拓展自己的交际视野。

Krashen在第二语言习得理论中提出的语言输入假说指出，教师应该让学习者接触到大量具有实际意义，生动而又有所关联的信息，习得才能顺利进行。英文原声电影使教学更加形象、直观、生动，使学生学得快、记得牢，不断激发其英语学习兴趣，同时有利于学习者放松心情，降低焦虑感，更好地进行语言学习。

英语原版电影能使学生掌握一定的听、说、改编、模仿等技巧。在创设的语言环境里，培养学生的英语语言综合运用能力。它以学生的学习兴趣、生活经验和认知水平为基础，使语言学习的过程促进学生形成积极的情感态度，主动思维的意识和大胆实践的魄力。其作用体现在以下几个方面：

1.最大限度提高学习兴趣

影片创造了轻松的英文学习氛围，活跃了课堂气氛，增加了学习趣味性，从而使学生收到了良好的学习效果。研究表明，第二语言的学习效果和情感因素密切相关，因此，要在最大限度上减少影响语言学习效果的消极态度，而电影恰恰给学习者提供了一个轻松的氛围。

2.提高学生听力水平

英语原版电影中纯正地道的语音，能让学生不断提高听力。一般课堂上的听力训练没有情景，学生理解起来很吃力。而观看原版电影则不同：影片中语言纯正地道，发音清晰准确，图文并茂，原汁原味而且演员的表情、肢体语言以及特定的情景、故事的情节发展对学生理解有很大的帮助。学生可以在轻松的视听过程中感受生活中的英语，在真实的语境中感受正常的英语语速。

3.全方位促进语言输入

影片有益于学生听力能力的提高，促进地道的、口语化的英文的输入。放映前，教师可讲解一下影片中的语言难点和要点。放映时，学生会着重注意这些语言点，加深对它们的理解和应用。比如在阿甘正传中：Life was like a box of chocolates．You never know whatyou’re going to get．这些简单的句子，都是生活中典型的口语，学生通过大量的听力训练，不仅加深了听力理解，而且促进了真实、鲜活的语言的导入，有助于他们适应真实的语言环境。

4.强化语言输出

为学生练习写作提供素材，为学生练习口语构建了平台。观看一部原版电影，学生了解了英语国家的文化风俗之后，趁学生还沉浸在故事情节中时，趁热打铁，让学生复述电影的故事情节，或让学生就影片中某一现象进行辩论，或就中西不同交际的文化的不同理解发表见解，或让学生自己当导演，给同一影片配上不同的结尾，或让学生交流影片中印象最深的一幕，或给学生分发台词复印件让学生跟着影片对口型，进行影视原文配音，或让学生根据影片自编、自排、自练，相互交流，融于表演之中，自娱自乐，加强协作配合，进行语言沟通，促进语言的输出。同时，优秀的外国原版电影故事情节感人，学生可以有感而发，对影片进行评论。观看完此片后，教师可布置学生写影评。评论的内容可以是整部电影，也可以是某一个人物或一件事。学生的写作热情会非常高，从不同视角度抒发自己的感受。提高他们的写作能力。

英文原版电影欣赏有益地丰富了教学手段，提高了学生的学习兴趣，但是，在教学过程中，我们还应该注意几个问题：

1.在选材上，教师一定要先了解影片的内容，选择合适的、有教育意义的题材

对所选影片要精心剪裁加工，并且，影视英语教学毕竟是一种非主流的课堂教学形式，适合于在正常教学过程中穿插进行。若次数太频繁，有可能会影响正常的教学。教师可以主要就精选的电影片段进行教学，而整部电影的欣赏要求学生在学校校园网的教学资源栏目下自行观看。课堂教学主要包括俚语和语音的讲解，文化现象的解释，相关实用文体的写作，并组织学生进行角色扮演或配音等口语活动，对比分析中国的文化传统进行分组讨论，或开展一些其他任务活动。

2.在播放影片前，给学生讲解一定的电影背景知识是十分必要的，可以加深学生对影片的理解

还有影片的语言，是美语，英语？是现代还是古代英语？等等，都要介绍清楚，才不会造成学生的迷惑和用语的混淆。然后对选取的优秀片段进行一次复合式听写这样才能吸引学生的注意力，让学生在观看这段时尤为注意，为观看影片后的教学做了良好的准备。播放中，可以在恰当的时候暂停影片，讲解影片优秀片段所涉及的语言点。通过回放的形式来加深学生的印象，进入关键片段之前，可以告诉学生注意主人公的语言风格，从而进一步加深对人物的理解。教师应该设计丰富多彩的活动，可以根据影片所剖析的社会现象或就某个人物性格展开讨论。也可以让学生就某个情节进行模仿或改编，用角色表演的方式展现出来。播放后，教师可以让学生对电影的大意进行复述，可以小组讨论的形式，各组选派一名发言，之后对该影片的各个优秀片段进行重放与复合式听写，对其中的语言现象要进行解释。

3.电影教学打破了传统外语教学的局限，在培养学生英语交际能力的过程中突出了它特有的优势，但对任课教师是一种挑战

为了安排电影学习活动，教师要花大量的时间反复观看影片，某些人物如果使用了生僻词汇或俚语、俗语，教师还需要查阅有关资料，向其他教师请教。原版电影大都有复杂的情节，学生要听懂、看懂有相当大的难度，教师如果只是简单地介绍故事情节，将电影从头到尾放一遍，提几个理解的问题，学生会因为看得似懂非懂而心灰意冷，挫伤其学习英语的积极性。如果教师过多地中断电影放映，详细讲解电影中的某些细节，不但打断了电影的自然节奏，还会让学生感到枯燥乏味。

4.国内影视英语选修课程的开设并不普及，相关的教材也十分缺乏，因此，大多数老师都是在独自摸索，可供参考的教学资料、教学模式及方法少之又少

双语教学 中英文 篇4

双语教学

现在有人主张在高等院校实施双语教育，也就是在高等院校用英语授课。如果这是英语教学的一部分，应该限于外语院校，那样才有可能，也符合学习外语的需要。如果要推广到一般高等院校，那就不是一个英语教学的问题，而涉及高等院校的教学用语问题，是一个国家主权和民主尊严的问题。解放以后在五十年代我们已经彻底消除了高等院校用外语，主要使用英语或英语和汉语夹杂授课，用英语教材这种殖民地教育的残余现象，难道我们今天要恢复这种现象？现在崇洋媚外思想有所抬头，中国人面对中国人说话要用对方不懂的英语，报刊上不断出现中国人看不懂的英文名称和术语，中央领导已经严肃地指出这是一种殖民地文化倾向，不明白为什么还要提倡。

Nowadays, some people are holding an idea that bilingual education should be conducted in colleges and universities meaning teaching in English in colleges and universities.If it is a part of English teaching, it is supposed to be limited to foreign schools for that way is more possible and meets the requirements of English learning more.If it has to be extended to common colleges and universities, then it is no longer a matter of English Teaching but a matter of teaching language in colleges and universities, a matter of state sovereignty and national pride.In the 50s after liberation, we have completely eliminated foreign language using in colleges and universities with Chinese or English plus Chinese teaching as the replacement.Are we really restoring this remaining image of colonial education by using English teaching materials? Presents days, more people tend to worship everything foreign than their own.Chinese are talking in English to Chinese and English names and terms are frequently shown on newspapers which most Chinese don’t understand.Chinese central government has seriously pointed out that this is a tendency to colonial culture, so I really can’t see why some people are

在英文字母书写教学中 篇5

一、巧用区分字形：

遇到形近的字母，可以通过歌谣作强化记忆。如d和b，“一把剪刀分两半，左下圆圈ddd，右下圆圈bbb”；u和n，“开口朝上uuu，开口朝下nnn”；m和n，“一道门儿是n，二道门儿是m”，帮助学生加深对初学字母的音与形的记忆。

二、巧用歌谣记牢笔顺：

“A, E, F, H，f和t，最后才把腰带系。”这句话的意思告诉孩子，字母有中横的，如“A, E, F, H, f, t”等，中间的那横像腰带，要最后写。

“小写字母i和j，出门再戴小帽子。” 小写字母如“i, j”等，顶上那一点如同小帽子，也要最后写。

有了这两句顺口溜，孩子很容易就能记住这些字母正确的笔顺。

三、巧用学生熟悉的事物：

“E”和 “F”的写法都是先写竖，然后从上到下写横。学生很容易把把它们的顺序弄错。在教学“E” 时我说：“大写E字母就像一座楼房，得先把外墙砌好，才能盖屋顶，所以要先写竖折，再写两横。”学生很快就记住了，我又进一步提示说：“还记得 “大写字母A, E, F, H，最后才把腰带系。”这句话吗？它提醒我们什么？”学生立刻七嘴八舌地说：“要最后写中间那横。”至此，学生已经十分了解这个字母的书写笔顺了。

教学 “F”时，我让学生观察这个字母像什么，有学生说像旗子。我顺势讲解：“要把F这面旗子插牢，得先把旗杆写正，先写……（教师在黑板示范）（学生：先写一竖）。对！”

运用英文电影辅助英语听说教学 篇6

摘要：英语教学的目标是培养学生的英语综合运用能力，提高综合文化素养。英语学习的最大障碍和急需提高的就是英语的听说技能。听说能力差主要归因于英语语言环境的缺乏和教学方法的落后。观看英文电影备受学生喜爱。英文电影是英语教学中一种教学资源。采用英文电影教学是英语听说教学多元化的有效尝试，是培养学生实际交际能力的一种有效途径。

关键词：英文电影；多媒体；英语教学法；听说技能

英语教学的目的是使学生掌握扎实的英语语言基础知识，具备较熟练的听、说、读、写、译的能力，特别是听说能力。但是，当前中国学生的英语综合运用能力并不强，尤其是听说能力。笔者认为，英文电影是一种训练学生英语听说能力的良好资源，不仅可以锻炼学生的英语思维、理解、表达能力，而且可以加强学生的跨文化交际意识和能力。正确有效地利用英文电影资源是加强英语听说教学的有效途径，可以很好地为英语教学服务。

一、采用英文电影教学提高听说能力的理论依据

(一)Krashen的语言输入假设和情感过滤假设

[3]（270）Krashen的语言输入理论认为，输入是语言习得的首要条件。语言输入

必须是可理解性的。只要学习者能够理解输入的语言，又有足够的量的保证时，习得就自然产生了。输入的语言必须是真实的、有意义的,因为语言习得只有在真实的语境中才会产生。

Krashen还认为，在学习者与环境之间有一个受情感因素制约的非智力屏障，他把这种非智力屏障称为情感过滤。[3]（271）情感过滤是无意识的，它控制着受教育者对于所接触信息的输入与吸收。情感过滤假设强调了包括动机、自信和焦虑等情感因素对于第二语言习得的重要性。该假设强调教师在进行语言教学时，要重视学生的非智力因素，要尽量营造一种轻松愉快的教学气氛，努力降低学生的焦虑程度。因此,在选择学习材料时，要考虑难易适度、语速适中及趣味性。

(二)兴趣理论

兴趣是个体以特定的事物、活动及人为对象，所产生的积极的和带有倾向性、选择性的态度和情绪。每个人都会对他感兴趣的事物给予优先注意和积极地探索，并表现出心驰神往。[1]（248-252）人的兴趣是多种多样的，有物质的和精神的兴趣，有直接的和间接的兴趣。兴趣是一种具有浓厚情感的志趣活动，它可以使人集中精力去获得知识，并创造性地完成当前的活动。兴趣会促使人深入钻研、创造性地工作和学习。就学生来说，对一门课程感兴趣，会促使他刻苦钻研，并且进行创造性的思维，不仅会使他的学习成绩大大提高，而且会大大地改善学习方法，提高学习效率。兴趣使人的智力得到开发，知识得以丰富，视野得到开阔，并会使人擅于适应环境，对生活充满热情。

(三)建构主义学习理论

建构主义学习理论认为，学习是获得知识的过程。知识不是通过教师传授的，而是学习者在一定的经济社会文化背景下，借助其他人的帮助，利用必要的学习资料，通过意义建构的方式获得。建构主义学习理论强调学生是信息加工的主体、知识意义的主动建构者，教师只是帮助学生主动建构意义的帮助者、促进者。[6]（6）建构主义强调真实情景的必要性，认为学习只有在真实的社会文化背景下，借助于社会性交互作用，利用必要的学习资源，才能积极有效地建构知识，重组原有知识结构。建构主义学习理论同时强调学生之间、师生之间的协作交流及学生和教学内容与教学媒体之间的相互作用。教师要为学习者提供各种资源，鼓励学习者主动探索并完成意义建构以达到自己的学习目标。

(四)心理学研究结果

心理学研究表明，人类获取的信息83%来自视觉，11%来自听觉，由其它器官获取的信息只占6%。[1]（253-258）显然，通过多种感官刺激所获取的信息量，比单一地听老师讲课强得多。有关资料也表明，人们一般能记住自己阅读内容的10%，自己听到内容的20%，自己看到内容的30%,自己听到同时看到内容的50%，在交流过程中自己所说内容的70%。[2]（213-214）如果既能听到又能看到，再通过讨论、交流用自己的语言表达出来，知识的保持将大大优于传统教学的效果。影视教学综合了图、文、声、像等现代信息技术，并和计算机程序结合在一起形成超文本、多媒体的信息传播方式，可以将文字、声音、图片、影像等一并显示，不仅非常有利于知识的获取，而且非常有利于知识的保持。

二、运用英文电影辅助英语听说教学的可行性和必要性

由于数码技术、多媒体技术和网络技术的飞速发展，当今的学生处在一个视觉时代，与其他教学工具和手段相比，学生们对多媒体更为敏感。与纯粹的文字阅读相比，人们更容易记住他们有多种体验的内容。包括电影在内的多媒体就提供了这种条件，在提供语言内容(声音)的同时,还提供了别的感受和体验（图像和音乐等）。

英文电影自然地融合了字幕、语音、图像、文化背景等，其信息量之大是其他任何形式的资料不可比拟的。它打破了传统教学的局限，充分满足了视觉文化时代学生的认知习惯和学习方式，更方便学生对英美语言文化的学习。[4]（43-44）同时,电影创造了更加地道的外语学习氛围,学生可以亲耳听到人们在各种场合进行的交际言语,可以激发学生的学习兴趣,促使其积极模仿和实践,切实提高其听说能力。从认知的角度来说，把形象和语言结合符合人的认识规律和外语学习的规律，这有利于激发学生们的求知欲望和调动学习者的兴趣。学习兴趣是非常活跃的因素，对学习起着积极的推动作用。带有描述的电影画面对提高学生的听力有极大的帮助。在同等的听力材料下，学生在课堂上看电影远比只是单纯听录音时的效果要好得多。尤其是电影当中的夸张动作和对白，还有相关的图片和背景材料的结合，更有利于提高学生的听力能力和理解能力。音像结合的英文电影更加全面地展示出英语的信息，它能充分地调动学生的眼、耳、口等感官去积极捕捉并理解英语对白中所蕴含的信息。英美原版电影内容丰富、艺术感染力极强，这些都有利于激发学生的学习兴趣，使英语学习成为一种精神的享受，进而提高英语学习的效率。

听说是学习语言的重要途径，也是最自然、最有效的途径。英文电影中的语言多是不同地理区域、社会阶层、职业、年龄的人们之间的对话，日常生活约定俗成的口语、惯用法等表达方式在英文电影中都得到了最真实的体现，是最接近现实生活的语言，是原汁原味的英语。语言学习不能离开一定的社会情景，在英语教学中必须通过真实的交际情景促进学生的英语学习。由于缺乏真实的听说环境，听说技能成为中国学生英语学习的薄弱环节，而英文电影中的场景就构成了

最佳的教学场景。习惯用语有一定的灵活性，掌握习惯用语对学生来说有一定的难度，学生可以在看电影的同时掌握一些习惯用语的用法，在不同的电影场景中把握习惯用语的不同意思。英文电影的故事情节取材于现实生活，内容生动丰富，影片中有大量展现英语国家社会生活、风俗习惯、工作娱乐的场景，能真实而又多方面地展现所学语言的背景和使用环境，既具有语言技能学习的特点又具有语

[5]（73-75）言习得所需要的条件，为学生创造了一种身临其境的直观效果。这样，学

生在欣赏电影的过程中接触到了纯正的语音语调和丰富地道的生活化语言，通过积极地模仿和实践，让学生理解掌握、学会灵活地使用，从而真正做到提高他们的英语口语交际能力。

人的语言表达方式会受到社会习俗、价值观念、宗教信仰、民族心理等多种因素的影响和制约。因此，在英语教学中，单纯传授语言不足以实现有效的文化交流，要全面深刻地理解语言，必须了解其中蕴含的文化背景。传统英语教学中，老师对英美文化及社会背景的讲解比较笼统、抽象，不容易被学生彻底领悟。从某种意义上说，英文原版电影作为一种文化载体，英文原版电影可以全方位、多视角地展示英语民族的文化，帮助学生了解中西文化差异，包括英语民族的思维方式、风俗习惯、历史传统等，这是在传统课堂教学中所不能达到的。

因此，在教学中应该坚持语言与文化并重的原则，英美电影可以使学生在学习语言的同时更加深入地了解英美文化，切实提高听说能力和跨文化交际意识和能力。

三、如何运用英文电影辅助英语听说教学

首先要明确的是，英文电影教学是英语课程体系的拓展，教师应根据教学计划、教学内容以及教学对象进行认真分析，影片内容应尽量接近课文主题和主干英语课程在内容上建立起相对紧密的联系。[2]（213-214）电影素材的选择对于教学目的和教学效果都具有重大的意义。

(一)选择影片

由于没有现成的教材，教师必须自主选择电影、设计活动并且编排材料。其中电影的选择是首要和最重要的一步。首先，教师要保证影片内容健康向上，有利于学生树立正确的人生观、价值观和世界观，避免使用带有暴力、色情等内容的影片。如：《海底总动员》、《功夫熊猫》、《丛林大反攻》、《魔法奇缘》等。其次，教师应切实考虑学生的语言水平，影片不宜太难。另外，原版英文电影是学生有效模仿语言的途径。因此还要注意影片的语言特色，应保证影片有足够的、清晰地道的语言输入，以便于学生在观看时跟读模仿。如：《狮子王》、《音乐之

[8]（4）声》、《罗马假日》、《公主日记》等。

此外，影片要有一定的文化价值，影片能够真实反映英语国家的主流文化特征，融知识性、趣味性、实用性于一体。在考虑到学生对西方文化背景知识掌握的同时，还要考虑到对跨文化知识的理解和接受，特别是可能会发生冲突、冲击的价值观念和道德意识。

影片长度也要符合学生的接受能力。研究发现，时间较短的电影或片段能对听力教学起到促进作用。而一般的影片总时长都是在一个小时以上，老师不能在课堂上不间断地播放整部电影，因为学生难以长时间保持注意力，也不利于学生对知识的理解与吸收。这就要求教师在实施教学的过程中，结合自己的教学目标以及学生的接受水平来选择合适的电影素材，制作个性化的课件。在课件设计中，教师可以包含多个电影片段，按照实际的教学需要把它们合理地结合起来。

(二)英文电影教学策略

1.加强听、说、读、写训练

给学生观看第一遍电影时，教师可以隐去影片的字幕，使学生通过自己的视觉和听觉对影片的内容有个初步的了解。然后，老师把事先准备好的影片中的经典对白发放给学生，让学生背诵一些富有人生哲理或是优美的佳句。比如，《阿甘正传》中：

Life is like a box of chocolate.You never know what you’re going to get.I believe you make your own density.You have to do the best with what God gave you.学生通过背诵这些经典佳句，既训练了朗读能力，也有利于口语表达能力和写作水平的提高。

此外，教师还可以选择比较精彩的电影人物的片段对白，反复播放2-3遍，让学生停下来跟读，模仿其发音、语调、节奏和速度。《美丽人生》就是一部很好的可以让学生模仿与重复练习的原版电影材料。教师可以选几段经典的具有代表性的片段让学生分组角色扮演，并在班上表演出来。这样既可以提高学生学习英语的积极性，还可以提高学生运用英语表达的能力。教师可以让学生用简练的语言复述影片内容或某个情节，或者对主题思想、人物性格、语言、文化甚至某句给人印象深刻的台词等展开自由讨论，从而培养学生独立思考问题并且恰当运用英语表达思想的能力。

为了提高学生的英语写作能力，就影片的内容来写观后感，则为学生提供了很好的写作素材。不用限定题目，评论的内容可以是整部电影，也可以是某个人或某件事情。学生在写作的过程中对人物性格的分析能进一步加深学生对英语国家的人的思维方式、文化习惯及价值取向的了解，增强学生对中西方文化差异的文字处理能力。

2.加强跨文化交际意识和能力

电影是现实生活的浓缩与升华，是文化沟通的桥梁，是一个国家和民族社会文化、生活方式、风俗习惯及思维方式的最直观的综合反映。教师可以在给学生观看影片之前进行文化背景知识讲解，这样能更好地帮助学生理解和体会电影中的对话和情节，也可以在重要的地方暂停放映，穿插讲解英美国家的一些文化背景知识。教师还可以根据影片内容设计一些启发性的问题，要求学生在视听影片的过程中注意有关文化、习俗、行为准则等方面的问题，让学生带着问题去视听影片，这样能让学生更加关注影片中与问题相关的文化背景、风土人情等方面的知识，让学生带着问题欣赏，从而发挥学生学习英语的主动性和积极性。然后教师再在合适的地方点评这些问题，比较中西文化差异，让学生从影片中充分了解英美国家人民的思维方式和文化习俗。例如：影片《阿甘正传》通过展现片中主人公阿甘从美国20世纪50年代到80年代的生活经历，反映了美国社会思潮的转变，全面地再现了期间美国政治生活中的重要事件，有肯尼迪总统遇刺、越南战争、水门事件等，还有和中国的乒乓外交，以及美国社会对中国的看法。《阿甘正传》也鲜明地体现了美国个人价值观的一些变化，从这部影片中国学生还可以了解到基督教在西方社会的地位和作用。[7]（10-11）

为了让学生更深刻地理解西方文化，教师不仅要利用课堂上的影视资源，还应充分利用课外活动，采用课内教学与课外活动相结合的原则。课堂上的时间是有限的，不足以让学生真正深入地理解英语文化的内涵，因此教师有必要将课内教学活动与课外活动结合在一起，把英文电影欣赏与文化学习融为一体，促进学

生英语文化的构建。影片播放完毕后，教师可以将学生分成小组，就影片的文化观念进行讨论，也可以让学生就影片中某些文化现象或文化冲突事件进行分析和评论，从而最终提高学生的跨文化交际意识和能力。

四、结束语

探讨英语写作教学策略 (英文) 篇7

The ability to write effectively in English is becoming increasingly important in our global community as communication across language becomes ever more essential.English writing instruction is thus assuming an increasing role in foreign language education.The present study seeks to explore EFL learners’major writing difficulties by analyzing the nature and distribution of their writing errors.Instructional strategies are then suggested so that teachers can adopt a more effective approach to enhance students’writing proficiency.

Ⅱ.Instructional Strategies

a.Vocabulary Learning

It is essential for students to acquire the most frequently used words It is common that students of level B have not reached the vocabulary size of 2000-word level.Class reading of theme-based units will give students a better chance of learning the recurring vocabulary.Vocabulary learning strategies like word association, analysis of parts of speech, affixes and suffixes, collocation activities, guess from textual content can be applied whenever appropriate to facilitate their learning process.

b.Instruction of Basic Grammar

Good writing is certainly beyond grammar manipulation.Yet it will be very difficult to compose a clear, logical and fluent paragraph if a writer is unable to write reasonably acceptable simple sentences and does not possess the mastery of some complex sentence structures.Results of the present study indicate an urgent need in upgrading students’basic linguistic competence.Explicit teaching on salient grammar points like types of sentences, syntax, verb forms of some commonly used tenses is highly recommended in the first semester.In the meantime, it is also important to convey the idea that error-free sentence production is not the prime target for writing practice but as the means with which to better express one’s meaning.

c.Awareness of L1 interference

Switching interactively between first and second language has been recognized as one of the salient characteristics of L2 writing.Woodball (2002) suggested that language switching may be driven by the mental operations of private speech for solving L2 problems with L1 resources and the results of his study suggested that less proficient L2 learners switched to their L1s more frequently than more advanced learners.According to Wang‘s finding (2003) , the low proficient participants often concentrated on direct translation from their L1 into the L2 to perform their L2 writing to compensate for their L2 linguistic deficiencies.Composing their writing tasks in this way might have helped them overcome writing difficulties without exerting much mental effort.Cases of direct translation were also observed in this study, for example, ‘My nickname is schoolmate takes.English name is I elects.Give to fortune teacher to calculate.’In addition, students have the tendency to exclude the subject or object and fail to use certain constructions due to L1 interference.

d.Writing Motivation

Generally speaking, writing motivation is encouraged through stimulating reading, relation with daily life experience, and support of relevant vocabulary.Pre-writing activities are crucial for unskilled writers.After selecting an appropriate writing task, some relevant reading passages should be introduced.However, the reading materials should only serve as sources for stimulating ideas and learning of relevant vocabulary rather than models to copy.Students have to write on a new but closely related topic.They still have to generate and refine their own ideas as well as construct their own sentences.Even students of low proficiency leve should be given the opportunity to experience writing as a creative act o discovery.The process approach is also applicable to low proficien students provided that thoughtful stimulus and guidance are available.As Zamel (1982) concluded, “If, however, students learn that writing is a process through which they can explore and discover their thoughts and ideas, then product is likely to improve as well.” (P.207)

Ⅲ.Conclusion

Writing in a foreign language is by no means an easy task.Teaching foreign language writing to large classes of unskilled writers is a demanding job.Though significant progress may not be easily achievable within limited time, enhancement of writing proficiency can still be anticipated if teachers have better understanding of their students’writing difficulties and well prepare themselves with effective instructiona strategies, which integrate reading, writing as well as vocabulary and grammar instruction in a skillful way.

如何组织英文影视课教学 篇8

【关键词】影视教学 准备 思考 解释 指导

影视课教学对于提高学生学习英语的兴趣有很大帮助。如果组织的好,学生不仅可以在娱乐中学到英美国家的语言文化、生活文化、地道的语言,同时还可以增强语言运用的渴望,但是如果这种课上得不好,不但没有起到增强学生学习兴趣的目的,相反地,还会让学生感觉到特别的无聊, 枯燥。 要想上好这一课,组织和准备工作是否到位和充分自然决定了这一堂课的成功与否。

首先,课前,三个准备。

第一,思考。影视课也不是说随便就可以拿过来一部电影,就可以在教室里给学生放映,放映电影之前,首先要考虑为什么(why)。也就是为什么要放映这部电影,放映这部电影的目的是什么,是和目前的教学有关,还是纯粹的娱乐?还要考虑怎么样(how)。即是要把电影从头放到尾,还是只选择其中的某些主要的精彩片断(segments)。再者,还要考虑放映的时间(when)。是利用课堂时间放映,还是课下时间放映,是在讲解故事之前放映作为引题,还是在学习了一个故事之后放映作为巩固或者加深理解。

第二,准备。准备阶段不但很重要,而且直接关系这堂课的成败。比如说,首先要准备好影片,确定了要放映的影片后,教师首先要把影片从头至尾看一遍,以便确认影片的内容和长度是否适合。然后,教师要准备和影片相配的一系列问题, 以便检测学生的理解力。最后,要认真检查TV & DVD Player, 或者Multi-media Player 是否工作, 以保证放映能够顺利进行。

第三,介绍。影片的介绍工作也是很有必要的,尤其是有一些电影,涉及时代背景,国家背景,文化背景,这些如果不在放映之前介绍给学生,学生在观看影片的时候可能会感觉到很迷茫或奇怪(confused or weird)。甚至对有些部分不会理解。还有一些影片涉及的人物比较多,而且关系也比较复杂,所以事先介绍一下主要人物之间的关系自然是非常有必要的而且是必需的。还有,有些关键的生僻词汇会出现在字幕中,教师要对这些词汇做清理工作,排除学生理解的障碍。

其次,观看电影的过程中,三个必需。

第一,组织。在整个观看影片的过程中,要对班级学生进行有序地组织,比如有的同学可能会吃东西,有的同学可能会大声讲话,影响其他同学的观看,还有的同学可能对这个影片不感兴趣,或者由于其他的原因,就会睡觉。教师要保证所有的同学要认真观看,以便后面的附加习题部分,学生可以顺利独立完成。

第二,解释。尽管在放映影片之前,已经作了一些介绍,但是有些文化的差异,或者是有些部分难于理解,教师同样需要在放映影片的同时进行讲解。一边让学生有一个清晰的思路。不至于在观看影片的时候迷失。学生在这时候应该是在进行记录。

第三,联系。这里所谓的联系,是指把影片的内容情节和故事小说联系起来,发现相同点和不同点。比如我在放映影片Jaws的时候,学生就发现了影片和故事之间的很多不同之处。还可以把影片情节和现实生活联系起来,以便引起学生更多的思考,以便加深对影片的印象。

最后,电影放完后,三个巩固。

第一,解释。在电影放映结束以后,还要对故事情节进行串讲,有些同学可能还会有不同的问题。

第二,指导。学生在影片放映结束后,要回答questionnaire上的问题。这时候,学生可能还会有问题,教师在这时可以对学生进行单独指导。

第三,总结。这种总结可以是在questionnaire和其他的project 都完成之后的,这样的总结可以分为几个方面,比如,影片放映效果,学生观看感受,影片放映改进措施等等。还可以是教师的自我总结。

当然,这只是对于影视课教学的初探,还会有更有趣, 更有效的办法使得这种课上得更好。旨在交流,但愿分享。
