【摘要】：作为英语老师,研究者发现高中英语教师对词汇教学投入大量精力,学生也花费大量时间精力背记词汇。然而,尽管许多学生已经能够记住大量的单词和表达,他们却无法正确并清晰表达自己,更不用说写优秀的英语文章了。由Michael Lewis在1993年提出的词块教学法为以上棘手问题提供了新的观点。Michael Lewis认为语言中大量的固定和半固定语言结构在语言学习的初始和中间阶段起了极其重要的作用,这些结构被称为“词块”。“词块”是语言处理的最理想单位,能够加快语言处理的速度,对于帮助学生提高语言的输入和输出发挥重要的作用。因而,从2014年9月到12月,研究者开展了一次行动研究来证明基于词块的教学能否提高自己在广州市第八十九中学所任教的学生的写作水平。本次行动研究的研究问题是:1)词块教学是否能帮助学生提高英语写作能力?2)词汇教学是否能帮助学生自主学习词汇?研究开始之初,笔者对所任教的班级进行词块知识的培训,目的旨在让学生学会辨认词块意识,初步具备词块意识。之后,笔者遵循“计划-行动-观察-反思”的模式开展两轮的行动研究。第一轮行动研究持续7周的时间,在此期间,笔者通过观察学生的课堂表现、练习情况,对自己的教学进行反思并修正自己的计划为第二轮的行动研究做准备。基于修正的计划,笔者展开第二轮为期七周的研究。教学实验表明,教授词块确实能够帮助提高学生的写作能力。从结果分析,研究者能总结出词块教学能够提高学生英语写作水平。再者,词块教学鼓励学生在英语学习中发现、记忆以及收集词块,这对培养并提高学生自主学习词汇的能力大有裨益。因此,运用词块教学法来提高学生的写作能力是有效和有意义的。
[Abstract]:As an English teacher, the researchers found that high school English teachers devote a lot of energy to vocabulary teaching, and students also spend a lot of time memorizing vocabulary. However, although many students have been able to remember a lot of words and expressions, they are unable to express themselves correctly and clearly, let alone write good English articles. The chunks teaching method proposed by Michael Lewis in 1993 provides a new point of view for the above difficult problems. Michael Lewis believes that a large number of fixed and semi-fixed language structures in language play an extremely important role in the initial and intermediate stages of language learning. These structures are called chunks. Lexical chunks are the most ideal unit of language processing, which can accelerate the speed of language processing and play an important role in helping students to improve the input and output of language. Thus, from September to December 2014, researchers conducted an action study to prove whether chunks-based teaching could improve the writing level of the students they taught in Guangzhou No. 89 Middle School. The research questions of this action study are: 1) can lexical teaching help students improve their English writing ability? 2) can vocabulary teaching help students to learn vocabulary independently? At the beginning of the study, the author trained his class on lexical chunks in order to make students learn to recognize lexical chunks consciousness and possess lexical chunks consciousness. Then, the author follows the "plan-action-observation-reflection" model to carry out two rounds of action research. The first round of action research lasted for seven weeks, during which time, the author observed the students' performance in class, practiced, reconsidered his teaching and revised his plan for the second round of action research. Based on the revised plan, the author carried out the second round of seven-week study. Teaching experiments show that teaching chunks can help improve students' writing ability. From the analysis of the results, researchers can conclude that lexical chunks teaching can improve students' English writing level. Moreover, lexical chunks teaching encourages students to find, memorize and collect lexical chunks in English learning, which is helpful to cultivate and improve students' ability to learn vocabulary autonomously. Therefore, the use of lexical teaching method to improve students' writing ability is effective and meaningful.
