雅思口语课堂中关于话题词汇情景激活的教学设计

Teaching Design of Topic Vocabulary through Contextualized Activation in IELTS Speaking Class

在英语学习中,词汇与语言能力之间有着必然联系。在雅思考试中,词汇也是衡量学生表现的重要评分标准之一。情景激活(contextualized activation)作为对词汇的长期记忆和运用有极大促进作用的教学方法,却很少在词汇习得中被教师使用。本文将以传统课堂教学为基础,以故事、电影、歌曲、短文本和广播五种形式为辅助,结合雅思口语话题,探究情景激活式词汇教学方法;详细分析如何设计课堂讲解和训练,为学生学习词汇和循环利用词汇提供环境和语境。

In English learning, there is an inevitable relationship between vocabulary and language ability. In the IELTS test, vocabulary is also one of the important scoring criteria to measure students’ performance. Contextualized activation, as a teaching method that can greatly promote the long-term memory and application of vocabulary, though, is rarely used by teachers in vocabulary acquisition. Based on the traditional classroom teaching and assisted by five innovative strategies, namely storytelling, movies, songs, short texts and broadcasts, this paper explores the teaching approach of contextualized activation. Also combined with IELTS speaking topics, this paper illustrates various types of classroom training design, with the hope of providing an environment where students can learn, recycle and ultimately master target vocabularies.
