高中英语教学法有哪些
高中英语教学法有哪些 激发学生阅读的方法 一、激发学生阅读的兴趣 一个人的阅读能力的高低，取决于他知识的积累，阅读的速度，还取决于他阅读中的再创造，以及由此产生的创新意识，而这一切都与阅读量有直接的关系。知识是兴趣产生的基础条件，因而要培养某种兴趣，就应有某种知识的积累。学生的阅读水平的培养是一个循序渐进的过程，因而给予学生从易到难的阅读材料并进行有指导的阅读训练是非常有必要的，学生会在这一过程中体会到成功的喜悦，找到成就感，尤其对于那些英语基础相对比较差的学生来说将会改变他对英语学习的态度。另外作为教授非母语的英语课程的教师，要想引发学生的兴趣，让学生更多了解这一种语言，或者通过这一种语言了解更多知识，还必须教授音标、单词、语法等等在内的英语学习基础。 二、教给学生阅读的方法 现代教育更重视培养学生的自我发展能力，这就要求教师不仅要教学生“学会”，而且还要教学生“会学”。要用各种方法教会学生“怎样学”，使学生具备学习和运用英语的能力。在阅读过程中根据不同的阅读目的和要求，采取不同的阅读方式和策略，遵循由浅入深，由表及里，由具体到概括的顺序要求阅读。常见的阅读方式有： 1、略读 通过整体粗读，领略内容大意，帮助理解，为细读作准备。寻找主题句，获取大意，找出每段的主题。 2、跳读 寻找所需信息，如年代、数字、人名、地名等把握住关键词，利用语法过渡词，语气转折词及时态等，抓住文章脉络。
3、细读 分段细读，注意细节，注意语言结构，处理语言点，抓住主要事实，关键信息，揭示文章结构的内在联系，帮助深化理解。一篇文 章是一个有机的整体，段落与段落之间存在着内在的紧密联系，而 每段的内容都与主题有着很重要的联系，所以弄清文章结构上的问题，对于把握文章主题、文章大意非常重要。 4、推读 推测未直接写明的含义、因果关系以及词义猜测,对学生在自学 过程中遇到的新的单词、表达法或语法。引导学生学会根据上下文 进行猜测，这样既提高了阅读速度又形成了一种能力，这也是英语 阅读的关键所在。 5、概读：要求学生从每篇标题，到各个部分都进行概读、以归 纳出要点，概括作者的主旨、意图、观点、态度，这样就能了解全 文的概貌。概读还有助于学生把握上下文之间的意义联系，培养学 生的综合概括能力。 三、培养良好的阅读习惯 阅读是一个认知的过程，不同的人有不同的阅读方式。有的学生喜欢逐字逐句地指读，也有的一目十行地读，也有的反复阅读。这 些阅读方式都是影响学生阅读效果与水平提高的原因，因此在教学 中应培养好的阅读习惯。按意群阅读。英语教学由于受应试教育的 影响，一直遵循传统的语法教学这样做不仅影响了学生的听说能力，而且也影响了他们的阅读水平。因此，我必须教会学生能按意群阅读，来改变往日逐字逐句地读，指读，心读。这样即便是很复杂的 长句也可以两三眼看到头，很快理解文章的内容。根据上下文猜词义。由于受到传统的教法影响和受精读教学的制约，学生经常在阅 读时遇到生词就查字典，这样即延误阅读速度，也打扰阅读思路， 所以教师应该尽量鼓励学生去猜生词，根据上下文辨别词义，根据 词性辨别词义，根据语法猜词义。懂语法，构词法的知识，在阅读 时猜词能力就会大大增加。 四、拓展学生的阅读空间
大学英语专业八级之人文知识： 英国地理3
大学英语专业八级之人文知识：英国地理3 1.1 2. What is the directive function? The “directive function” means that language may be used to get the hearer to do something. Most imperative sentences perform this function, e. g., “Tell me the result when you finish.” Other syntactic structures or sentences of other sorts can, according to J.Austin and J.Searle’s “indrect speech act theory”(see Hu Zhuanglin et al.,pp271-278) at least, serve the purpose of direction too, e.g., “If I were you, I would have blushed to the bottom of my ears!” 1.13.What is the informative function? Language serves an “informational function” when used to tell something, characterized by the use of declarative sentences. Informative statements are often labelled as true(truth) or false(falsehood). According to P.Grice’s “Cooperative Principle”(see Hu Zhuanglin et al., pp282-283), one ought not to violate the “Maxim of Quality”, when he is informing at all. 1.14.What is the interrogative function? When language is used to obtain information, it serves an “interrogative function”. This includes all questions that expect replies, statements, imperatives etc., according to the “indirect speech act theory”, may have this function as well, e.g., “I’d like to know you better.” This may bring forth a lot of personal information. Note that rhetorical questions make an exception, since they demand no answer, at least not the reader’s/listener’s answer. 1.15.What is the expressive function? The “expressive function”is the use of language to reveal something about the feelings or attitudes of the speaker. Subconscious emotional ejaculations are good examples, like “Good heavens!”“My God!” Sentences like “I’m sorry about the delay” can serve as good examples too, though in a subtle way. While language is used for the informative function to pass judgement on the truth or falsehood of statements, language used for the expressive function evaluates, appraises or asserts the speaker’s own attitudes. 1.16.What is the evocative function? The “evocative function” is the use of language to create certain feelings in the hearer. Its aim is , for example, to amuse, startle, antagonize, soothe, worry or please. Jokes(not practical jokes, though) are supposed to amuse or entertain the listener; advertising to urge customers to purchase certain commodities; propaganda to influence public opinion. Obviously, the expressive and the evocative functions often go together, i.e., you may express, for example, your personal feelings about a political issue but end up by evoking the same feeling in, or imposing it on, your listener. That’s also the case with the other way round. 1.17.What is the performative function? This means people speak to “do things” or perform actions. On certain occasions the utterance itself as an action is more important than what words or sounds constitute the uttered sentence. When asked if a third Yangtze bridge ought to be built in Wuhan, the mayor may say “OK”, which means more than speech, and more than

高中英语教学反思大全
高中英语教学反思大全 关于高中英语教学反思大全 篇一：高中英语教学反思 1、学习外语与情意的关系。外语课堂教学既是一个掌握外语的认知过程，也是一个激励情意的过程。课堂教学中的情意因素包括情意和意志。情意包括动机、兴趣、态度、气质、性格和良好的习惯等。学生在学习、掌握外语的过程中伴随着传递情意的活动，学习外语和交流情意相互间紧密联系，相互促进，组成一个整体。情意的产生受学习外语认知活动的影响，学习外语的认知活动能促进情意由低级向高级发展，由低层次向深层次发展。学生初学外语时，会产生一种好奇心，好奇心不断获得满足，从而又产生了求知欲;求知欲不断获得满足，进而树立了自信心;自信心不断增强，并与崇高远大的理想相联系和强化，可使兴趣发展得更丰富，从而形成认知兴趣。因此，教师在外语课堂教学过程中，既要重视掌握语言知识和运用语言能力目标的完成，又要重视情意目标的实现。但是，当前有些外语课堂教学还未把情意目标提到教学议事日程上来，或者有意无意地把它忽视了。 2、语言知识与交际能力的关系。语言是重要的交际工具。学习英语的目的，不仅仅是掌握语言知识，更是为了提高运用语言进行交际的能力。英语教学的最终目的是获得为交际运用语言的能力，这种能力只能通过实践训练才能获得。语言知识的传授不能代替听说读写技能训练和为交际运用语言能力的培养，我们应在教学中将掌握语言知识、
培养言语技能和为交际运用语言的能力有机地结合起来，达到学以致用的目的。例如，在学习了“天气预报”这一课后，我除了在课堂上让学生用所学句型自由对话外，还找来多期chinadaily，让学生参阅天气预报这一版进行对话。学生在自由交谈中既巩固了所学知识，又扩大吸收了书本外相关的语言知识，更重要的是，在交际活动中还提高了他们的听、说、读、写和语言交际的能力，达到了多元培养目标。(二)教学理念的反思 面对新教材，首先思想观念要转变，有了新的观念才能接受新事物。如果观念没有更新，新教材、新课程都只能是空谈，无非是“穿新鞋，走老路”，新课程的实施简单地被视为换一个大纲、换一套教材、调整一些课程内容。对生动活泼的课程内容进行肢解，使其成为不胜其烦的“知识点”的堆砌，把“reading”当成讲解知识点的例子。教师的教育思想是在长期受应试教育的影响下形成的，很多人崇尚“苦读”、“勤教”，不以人为本，“应试第一，分数至上”，把学生基本上看成是挣分的机器，对学生“乐学”的潜能几乎没有开发，英语教学过程过分重视语法和词汇知识的讲解与传授，忽视对学生实际语言运用能力的培养。这种教学观念与新课程的要求极不相适应。因此，为了适应新课程，要突出“以学生为主体”的思想，教师在教学活动中要做到:本文由一起去留学编辑整理。 1、建立“以学生为中心”的主体观。教学活动以学生在课堂上做事为主，教师的作用是负责组织、引导、帮助和监控，引导学生学会认知、学
