听说法在小学英语口语教学活动中的应用

听说法在小学英语口语教学活动中的应用

一、现在小学生学习英语出现的问题

1.1对英语缺乏兴趣

英语跟中文之间相差的太远，是两个不同思维的讲话模式。现在的很多小学生刚接触英语的时候觉得就是火星语，完全颠覆了自己现在所讲的母语，在日常生活中又没有经常用到，有些小学生也就此对英语没有好感了，觉得跟自己讲的话非常不一样，对英语也就缺乏兴趣了，所以导致很多小学生不想学习英语。1.2听不懂，讲不出的“聋哑英语”现象严重

老师上课在讲英语，台下有很多的小学生听得很懵懂，不知道老师说的是什么，跟不上老师说英语的思维模式，因为听不懂索性就不想学习英语了。因为在听力方面差也就导致了他们在口语上也出现了相应的问题。听不懂英语，小学生往往就不敢开口说英语，怕说错了，被别人取笑。在英语方面缺乏自信，认为讲错了会很丢脸导致他们不敢说英语，久而久之，小学的英语口语方面发展缓慢。

1.3 缺少英语氛围和环境

在没有英语语言环境的氛围下，小学生学英语是非常辛苦的事情.在日常生活中，围绕在身边的人都是讲母语的，父母家人，朋友同学交流都是用中文交流的，只有在上英语课的时候，老师在课堂上讲的45分钟的英语，这样是很少有讲英语的机会，严重缺少英语氛围的情况下，小学生学习英语是很有难度的，很多小学生都是在日常生活中潜移默化中被影响的。

二、针对出现的问题提出运用听说法教学

对于小学生在学习英语中出现的种种问题，可把听说法运用到小学英语课堂教学上。运用听说法的基本方法是一是听说领先，以听说为主，读写为辅。在学生打下一定的听说基础以后 , 再进行读写教学。二是反复实践 , 形成习惯。在教学中要让学生把大部分时间用在模仿、记忆、重复、交谈等实践练习上 , 在大量操练的基础上养成一套新的语言习惯。三是以句型为中心。句型是语言教学基础 , 也是整个外语教学的中心部分。在外语学习的初级阶段，教师在注重听说和模仿的同时，更注重对句型的操练。有意义的操练将会对小学生学习英语产生一定的影响。

三、听说法在小学生英语课堂上的应用策略

3.1营造和谐宽松的课堂环境

学习英语最容易产生的问题就是没兴趣，所以教师要创造和谐的课堂气氛。首先教师要让每位学生感觉到老师的关爱、和蔼可亲、平易近人。教师要以饱满的热情、良好的情绪走进课堂 , 努力缩短师生间的距离。多鼓励和赞美学生 , 使学生感到被承认和被接纳。然后是创设出对学习英语有趣的课堂活动，比如唱歌，加强师生之间在学习英语上的交流，教师不仅仅只是交流有关英语这些学术上的问题，也可以偶尔在课堂上穿插讲一些日常生活趣事。

3.2有意义的操练

听说法是反复操练，用模范，重复，记忆的方法去反复实践，形成自动化的习惯。但是听说也是枯燥的机械性的操作，容易给小学生了带来厌倦感，长此下去也会对学习英语产生负面情绪。所以在小学英语课堂上，教师应该针对听说法进行有意义的操练，而不是盲目的只是反复重复操作练习。

3.3模拟真实的生活情景

学习英语不仅仅只是学习英语这门语言，而已要懂得把这门语言运用到我们的日常生活中来。小学生对新语言是很好奇，当他们学习到一种知识后就渴望运用它。所以在小学英语口语课堂上，教师把听说法将英语运用到真实的日常生活情境中来，让小学生们身临情景的学习英语，不仅可以锻炼到听力，也可以锻炼到小学生说英语的能力。
