農村初中英語聽力教學問題和解決方案淺析
牟定縣馬廠中學 鄧勇
摘要:英語課程改革后使得學生學習英語比之前更具有挑戰性,同時對教師來說也是更具有探索性。初中英語聽力訓練是一項長期的教學工程,需要在教學中不斷的探索聽力教學的規律,盡最大努力讓學生能夠理解所聽內容是進行聽力教學的最大目標。在進行聽力教學的過程中,最重要的是要培養學生學習英語的興趣。本文將根據多年的教學經驗分析聽力教學中存在的問題,同時給出解決問題的方法,這些方法在教學過程中已經得到充分的證實,即對快速提高學生的聽力水平是最有幫助的。關鍵詞:聽力訓練;存在的問題;解決的方法 引言
隨著國內和國際社會的快速發展,英語教學越來越受到現代化教育的高度重視。每年全國各種關于英語的考試大多都增設聽力和口語的測試,無疑對中學生英語的教學提出了一個嚴峻的挑戰,同時也給提高中學生的英語聽力和口語水平,改變中學生英語“聾啞”的現狀帶來了機遇。聽力能力的提高和聽力技能的具備在英語基礎教育中占有重要的地位。國內中學生英語教學的宗旨是培養學生的聽、說、讀、寫能力。語言首先是有聲的,聽力能力既是一種接受能力,又是一種學習手段。作為一種能力,聽是吸收和理解口頭信息的交際能力;聽是吸收語言信息的重要源泉,足夠的信息輸入為說打下基礎,聽力能力在交際中占有極為重要的地位。作為一種學習的手段,聽是學習英語的必由之路。學習發音,學習說話都和聽有密不可分的聯系。聽,為模仿地道的口頭英語、擴大詞匯量、豐富語言背景知識提供了一個很好的學習方法。學生只有聽得明白,反應敏捷,開口自若,才能在每堂課有限的時間內高效輕松自如的學習。2 目前聽力教學中存在的問題
根據多年的教學經驗,從學生所受教育程度的實際出發,總結出了在聽力教學中存在的幾個問題。
2.1 忽視聽力教學的真正目的,過多地使用母語
現在的中學生尤其是在小學從未學過英語或學的不扎實的農村中學生,由于詞匯量小,平時聽英語的機會少,在聽英語短文和較長的對話時,就很困難。在教學中,一定不要為了盡快地完成教學任務,在對學生進行短文或對話的聽力訓練時大量使用母語。根據教學經驗,在聽短文時,大部分學生在聽完三遍后,仍沒有完全聽懂短文大意,加上短文故事情節的順序與所設置的聽力練習題順序不同,學生不能很好的完成聽力訓練。2.2 課堂教學形式單一,學生產生厭倦情緒
在聽力課中,許多教師充分利用45分鐘時間,整堂課都是讓學生在聽--做題--對答案的過程中渡過的。久而久之,再活潑好動的學生也會對這樣的教學方式產生厭倦情緒。2.3 語音不規范、不正確
這類情況往往導致學生出現聽力理解上的困難。比如連讀、不完全爆破、省略音這些語音現象也往往成為學生在聽力提高方面的障礙。2.4 對英語的學習興趣不濃
有的學生對英語這門學科本身就不感興趣,從心理上產生了抵觸,尤其是在聽力訓練中很少積極參與。大多是在老師的監督下敷衍了事,被動應付,造成抵觸情緒高漲,學習興趣低落,聽力水平很難提高。2.5 對英語聽力不重視 農村中學的學生大多是留守兒童,很多學習不認真,連母語都不愿意學,要想把英語學好,尤其是聽力,更是難上加難。這是由于學生的父母親長期不陪同,很少有人督導,接觸英語較遲和英語對他們的生活影響極小。部分學生認為聽力很難聽懂,花的時間比較多和考試時所占比重較小,沒有給予足夠重視。2.6 缺乏自信,容易浮躁
一些學生缺乏自信,常有自卑心理。在聽力課堂上,教師需要學生的積極參與,而缺乏自信的學生在與老師的互動過程中經常會緊張不安,焦急害怕,害怕出錯,擔心被老師提問,被同學笑話,這種長期處于壓抑狀態和情緒不佳的學生,很難提高英語聽力水平。2.7 對英語所涉及領域的重要性理解不夠徹底
如英語所涉及的領域包括生活和科技中的各個領域,國際社會之間的交往等。平時需要加強學生在這些領域的深刻認識,如可以通過請英語大師、科學家等來學校作演講,以激勵學生積極主動地學習英語。3 目前聽力教學中存在的問題的解決方法
根據多年的教學經驗,總結出了以下四個原則和三個策略,能較好地幫助解決學生聽力難懂的問題,能讓學生聽懂英語的同時進行簡單的互動交流。
3.1 四個基本原則
3.1.1 基本原則之一:聽力教學必須以《英語課程標準》教科書中的課程目標和新出的課程目標為教學原則
在實際教學中應依據不同級別的教學目標和要求來制定聽力教學的內容和衡量標準。
3.1.2 基本原則之二:聽力教學內容與農村學生學習德、智、體的能力相結合的原則
聽力材料的內容要貼近學生的實際生活,這樣既可以激發學生參與英語教學活動的積極性,又有利于教師更好地開展教學。根據教學經驗,以這樣的原則開展教學可以起到相輔相成的效果,即學生與老師可以共同進步。同時教師也能較好地掌握學生心理的變化,從而更好地關注和指導學生的學習。
3.1.3 基本原則之三:聽力教學內容與課堂教學相結合的原則
聽力材料的內容與課堂教學的內容有機結合,既可以幫助學生回憶已學過的語言知識,又可以提高學生的聽力能力和聽的技巧。
3.1.4 基本原則之四:聽力教學的練習形式要避免單一化和形式化的原則
練習聽力要采用多種形式,如用英語發出指令,讓學生主動記下部分聽到的內容,以便理解所聽內容,或采取以聽為主,聽說結合,兼顧讀與寫的形式等。3.2 三個策略
3.2.1 策略之一:幫助學生克服心理障礙,激發學生聽英語的興趣
根據外語教育心理學理論,學生聽力理解能力的好壞與心理素質有密切聯系。學生大部分時間都處于漢語的語言環境中,初學者較難適應英語的語言環境。尤其在聽力教學訓練時,學生要在很短的時間內聽清、聽懂 4 錄音內容,領會其深層涵義,同時還須聽懂和理解所提問題及所給的選擇答案,并做出正確的判斷和選擇。
長時間聽不懂或難以理解聽力內容會讓學生會產生很大的心理負擔,因此在平時的聽力練習中,教師不要簡單地播放錄音,忽視與學生言語的溝通。在單調、沉悶的課堂氣氛中,學生會感到緊張和壓抑,從而會對英語聽力產生厭倦甚至抵觸情緒,結果連最簡單的詞句都聽不懂。為此,教師應以飽滿的精神,和藹的態度幫助學生消除緊張、焦慮、厭煩等情緒,運用各種教學方法,培養和激發學生聽的興趣。根據教學經驗,在聽說教學中常采用生動的圖畫進行單詞和句子的指導教學,在課文教學中,運用有情節的故事圖片,并配以背景音樂進行聽說教學能使學生精神振奮,積極思考,能很好地接收和理解教師所發出的信息,能快速地調動學生參與聽力的積極性和學習英語的興趣。
3.2.2 策略之二:將聽力教學融入課堂教學之中,強化學生的語言基礎訓練
以講英語的形式組織課堂教學。學生學習英語主要是在課堂上進行,要想提高學生學習英語的能力,教師首先就要發揮好課堂教學主渠道的作用,創造良好的課堂英語語言環境,使學生在課堂教學中得到潛移默化的影響。教師要堅持用英語組織教學,在課堂中創造英語語言環境的氛圍,并且用一定的母語解釋和引導,快速地幫助學生掌握必要的英語語言的基礎知識,如單詞、詞組等的正確發音;語音知識,如連續、重讀、失去爆破、句子意群等句子朗讀技巧,最終使得學生能夠掌握和熟練應用英語語言進行簡單的交流和寫作。增加學生的語言輸入。所謂增加語言輸入(Language Input)就是擴大語言學習者接觸語言機會,接受和吸收充分數量的語言材料。現代語言教學理論認為向學習者提供的語言輸入量越大,越有利于日后形成較強的語言輸出能力。當這種輸入達到一定量的時候,學生的語言能力便會產生質的變化。
對于缺乏英語環境氛圍的農村學生來說,適當加大閱讀量和增加聽英語的時間能夠擴大語言輸入。主要做法如下:
1)、多朗讀。大聲地朗讀可以幫助提高聽覺理解能力,聽力的強弱,關鍵在于語音知識的熟練程度,語音知識的熟練程度又取決于平時的練習。對一門外語的語音和語調的正確、標準、流暢、熟練、抑揚頓挫和節奏把握都離不開平時的有聲朗讀;
2)、多背誦。古詩云:“熟讀唐詩三百首,不會賦詩也會吟詩。”在熟練朗讀的基礎上,正確流利地背誦一些常用的短語、句子、對話等,有利于培養正確的語感,有利于培養良好的聽力能力;
3)、多聽錄音。有利于讓自己處于多聽、多模仿和多復讀的語言環境中,模仿和復讀教材中的對話、文章,模仿句子的語音語調,體會說話人的情感。
制造英語語言環境氛圍。主要做法如下:
1)、充分利用課余時間。鼓勵學生在課外隨時隨地講英語,形成濃厚的課外英語氛圍,如飯前飯后、課間,讓學生盡量用學過的交際英語進行交談,訓練聽說能力;
2)、開展英語第二課堂。教師可以充分發揮第二課堂的作用,指導和 安排學生進行各種各樣的英語活動,如利用多媒體看英語原版節目、收聽英語廣播、英語小品表演、英語歌曲演唱比賽、英語角等活動增加學生的語言實踐機會,幫助學生培養正確的語感,提高聽說能力。3.2.3 策略之三:及時進行強化訓練,提高聽的能力
做配套的英語聽力檢測題是訓練學生聽力的必要措施。初中英語新教材每單元均設計有聽力訓練內容,要在課堂上按照課堂教學的目標和進度安排及時進行該項訓練,以便幫助學生逐步提高聽的能力。
對學生進行聽力技巧的指導和點撥。主要做法如下:
1)、反應要迅速。在聽力訓練開始前,要快速閱讀問題和選項,選項是理解的關鍵,它可以幫助學生預測將會聽到的內容,暗示所聽內容的重點。學生必須學會在短暫的時間內分析和對比選項的不同之處,帶著問題,有目的地去聽,對于暫時無法聽懂的選項,可以邊聽邊在選項的相關處作記號以便稍后再做;
2)、善于捕捉主要信息。在英語聽力測試中,針對聽力材料常設置一些填空題或選擇題,這就要求學生應具有抓住主要信息,排除次要信息的能力。培養學生善于捕捉有用的時間、數據、人名、事件等信息的能力,這將是教學中訓練學生聽力能力的重點。此外,對學生進行必要的聽力技巧訓練也是不可缺少的。4 常用的聽力技巧
常用的聽力技巧主要有: 1)、對內容情節的預估;
2)、對上下文沒有聽清楚的內容進行猜測; 3)、尋找主題大意; 4)、捕捉特定的細節; 5)、推斷說話人的態度等。
這些技巧在日常母語的交際中可以自然地完成,而在外語聽力教學中需要有針對性地進行訓練,潛移默化。
總之,在教學中有目的、有計劃地指導學生進行科學的聽力訓練對增強學生的聽力能力是最有幫助的,也是最有效的。5 結論
根據多年教學經驗的總結和體會得出英語是一門語言實踐課,教師需要應用不同的教學方法來激發學生的聽說興趣,調動學生學習的積極性與主動性,提高課堂教學效率,增強學生的聽力能力,有利于對學生其他技能及綜合素質的培養起到積極的作用。
總而言之,英語聽力理解能力不是單項能力,學生必須以具備良好的語言基礎為前提,輔以聽力技巧、技能及豐富的背景知識,再依賴判斷理解過程,才能高效地完成從聽到理解的過程。

..淺議農村初中英語聽力教學
張 朝 春
摘要
隨著新課程的推進和深入,各個學科都在加強對學生學習能力的培養,強調實踐與創新和學生主體和教師主導的教學模式.人民教育出版社和英國朗文 出版集團有限公司合作編寫的義務教育初中英語系列教材,是課程教材改革的產物,教材的 聽力訓練成為中學乃至小學的英語教學內容,在農村初中有限的條件下怎樣訓練學生的聽力便成了值得討論的問題
關鍵詞
農村 初中 聽力 教學
新課程的實施,各地使用不同版本的教材,在初中階段的外語學習只要求達到不同的分級目標,九年級(現初三)要求達到五級,這有效的解決了各地英語教育發展的不平衡的矛盾,有利于因材施教,由于受到農村教學條件的限制,利用好現有設備,盡量體現新教材精神,達到新教材設計目的,培養學生的英語學習興趣是擺在廣大農村初中英語教師面前的重要課題.我認為聽力能力的提高是解決這一問題的一個有效突破口.(一)農村初中英語學情分析
對多數農村學生來講,學習英語不是為了用它交談,寫作,只簡單的應付畢業 考試,有的學了幾年連英文字母多少個都不知道.由于缺乏和新教材配套的多媒體教學儀器和手段,大多教師都憑一個錄音機和一塊小黑板授課,難以突出教材主題,創造教學情景,更無法調動學生學習積極性, 在這種學情下我校初二年級一個快班52名學生,及格以上的只有25 名;而慢班更慘,無人及格,學生厭學傾向十分嚴重。
而對于優秀學生來說,他們畢竟要升學,需要進一步提高聽、說、讀、寫的能力來適應高中的學習。農村優秀學生上高中后的普遍現象就是難以適應高中英語教學,高中老師的全英文授課讓他們如墜霧中,嚴重影響英語學習,甚至一蹶不振,對自己多年的英語學習產生懷疑,失去學習英語的興趣,由此可見農村初中 聽力能力的薄弱。
學生方面: 多數學生來自村小,極少數來自鎮中心小,受農村小學教學條件、師資、管理的影響生源素質低,學生在小學階段基本尚失學習興趣,基本沒有良好學習習慣,基本沒有學習自覺性和能力。
老師方面:
對新課改有點猶豫和兩難,新課程要求更高,而學生水平遠不及新課程的起點要求,如很多小學校根本沒開英語,開了的也行同虛設,學生的低起點教材的高要求對立,教師猶豫。新教材的要求高教學配制:實物、多媒體、課件等,農村學校難以實現,這給教學帶來困難,教師在傳統教法和課改教法間徘徊,難以取舍,進退兩難。
教材方面:
教材起點高,不適應農村學校的實際。以英語學科為例,人教社出版的英語新教材“Go For It”在城市學校使用應是一部很不錯的教材,但對于大多數小學未開英語課的農村學校來說還是難度偏大,起點過高。薄弱的學生語言能力使新教材所倡導的任務型教學模式的實踐受到很大的制約。
教材內容新,但脫離學生的生活實際。“Go For It”是一部從美國原版教材改編過來的教材,語言很有時代感。但對于知識面相對較窄的農村學生來說,很多內容卻因缺乏生活體驗而顯得十分遙遠。
教材份量加重,教學任務無法完成。我們把“JEFC BOOK 1(A)”和“Go For It”七年級上冊做了一個比較,詞匯,包括人名和縮略詞在內由466條增加到877條,份量差不多增加了一倍,但課時沒有增加,師生普遍感到壓力很大。
課改實施:
新的質量觀在教育行政部門和老百姓中還沒有得到認同,以升學率高低評價學校辦學水平的觀念根深蒂固,很多學校對課改都持觀望、應付的態度,課改中的工作也只是應付上級檢查的消極行為。
教師、學校之間競爭激烈,大家都害怕課改影響教學質量,不敢放手探索和實驗,不敢放手使用新的教學方法。
(二)聽力的重要性
中學生學習英語首先就應當從聽入手,英語聽力對學習英語至關重要。“聽力”英文為Listeningcomprehension,即聽有聲語言,并對其理解的能力。正如RiversTemperty所說:“聽,是人們根據自己所了解的語言知識、語義和語法三方面的潛力,從語流中獲得信息的積極活動。”
根據上述觀點,我們可以將聽力理解為:獲得有聲信息的活動能力,也可以說是一種交際能力。這種能力的強與弱,除了決定人們對語言知識本身的了解外,還決定人們對語言背景文化知識的占有能力。很難想象一個對語言背景文化一無所知的人,能夠具備良好的聽力。中學英語教學大綱中把聽說教學放在教學法的首位,強調聽說英語是英語教學的重要目的之一。
從語言角度來看,語言本身首先是有聲語言。沒有聽,就沒有說,語言的交流也就無從談起。因而,聽力在語言學當中有其特殊的作用。聽,是語言的基礎;聽力,是語言學習的前提。
從心理學的研究來看,在相等時間內,聽到的信息量比讀到的信息量要大得多;而聽到的信息轉化為感性知識比讀到的信息轉化為感性知識的速度要快得多;聽到的信息往往比讀到的信息更生動,印入腦海的烙印更深刻,不易遺忘;同時,還能有效地培養語感。
從中學生學習英語的心理特點看,中學生年少好勝,善于模仿,聽覺靈敏,活潑喜動。如果能注意培養他們的聽力,在情趣盎然的氣氛中加強聽力訓練,必將取得事半功倍的效果。
(三)聽力的構成
聽力主要由兩個部分構成。即迅速正確地辨音解義的能力、理解語言內涵的能力,亦稱“文化悟力”。這兩種能力表現在中學英語課堂上,即為識記教師發出的語音形式,準確地辨析詞義,然后從詞義、句義到文章中心大意,迅速辨析、思索、組合、歸納,并從中悟出講話內容的中心所在。這種能力除指對語言知識本身的理解能力外,還應包含對有關文化知識的理解和占有能力,包括經濟、文化、天文、地理、歷史以及簡單的科普知識等等。對這些知識的占有與理解無疑會提高對所聽到信息的理解程度,從而使悟出的語義更深刻,更準確。
(四)目前學生在聽力學習上主要存在的問題
1.語音的辨別能力低。要想聽懂一般語言材料,盡多地聽懂其中每一個詞是至關重要的。然而部分學 生對英語標準發音掌握不好,或者他們自身的英語發音與標準發音差距甚大。在聽的過程中,往往分辨不出聽 到的是哪個詞或者分不清詞與詞的界線。有時即使聽到了已經學過的詞時,也會誤聽為其它詞而作出錯誤判斷,在理解上步入岐途。
2.語流的連貫能力弱。有時候學生對平時能正確發音的單詞在句中聽到時也不能正確分辨,從而影響 對全局的理解。這是因為學生缺乏一種連貫的語流。詞在句中朗讀時的弱讀、重讀、連讀、語氣的變化、語調 的升降都會導致在連貫語流中語音的發音變化。例如:The teacher told us that we could have been succ essful if we had been careful because the experiment wasn't difficult.一句中,us[s],that[ t],have[hv],had[hd]和because[bi、kz]都應弱讀。由于這些詞的弱讀,導致了 語流中的一些語音變化。學生若缺乏連貫的語流能力,那么在聽時就會對全句的意思產生誤解。3.詞義的語境判斷差。大多數單詞在字典上有多種釋義,而不同的詞義取決于該詞的不同語境。對一 個詞的確切詞義判斷應根據上下文來決定。例如:She was fast asleep.(她在酣睡。)She ran fast.(她跑 得快。)在不同的語境中,fast一詞的詞義就完全不一樣。而學生往往只根據自己所熟悉、掌握的詞義便“聽 詞生義”誤下結論。
4.猜字的技能技巧低。在聽力中,學生難免會聽到陌生的詞,他們不可能有足夠的時間去推敲,而只 能根據上下文內容去進行聯想猜測。猜字能力強的學生往往容易疏通上下文。例如He can't bear any more p ain.一句中bear是動詞而不是名詞。若學生在名詞用法“熊”的詞義上苦苦思索,而不根據pain一詞的信息去 推測bear的動詞用法有“忍受”的詞義,自然也難以理解該句了。
5.口音的辨析能力差。在聽力中,常會聽到不同國家、地域、年齡、職業的人說英語。英國音與美國 音在發音上的較大不同會使學生無法較好地進行分辨。如美國人把[a:]發成[],把[wen]發成[ hwen],在or或er后綜合加進[r]音。因此一些極普通的常用詞在學生聽起來就成了陌生的不熟悉的詞,結果影響了對全篇聽力材料的理解。
6.主要內容抓不住。在聽的過程中,要每個詞都聽懂,對大部分學生來說是不大可能的。只要聽懂中 心內容,就能理解領會全文。但部分學生不善于在聽時抓主要內容。他們只根據材料中的只言片語就斷章取義 地進行理解,不能通過對各個局部的理解快速找到上下文間的聯系,結果對整段內容產生片面的理解,得出錯 誤的結論。
7.重要細節捕不牢。聽力不僅要求學生聽懂材料的主要內容和中心思想,而且要求學生聽懂能說明主 題的重要細節。對于那些影響整篇材料的重要細節更必須弄清楚,因為它們有助于對整篇材料的理解。例如: 人名、地名、時間、年代、數字等。學生在聽的過程中往往忽視對以上重要細節的記憶與分辨,結果對與重大 細節有關的選擇題難以下手。
8.正確習慣沒養成。有些學生缺乏正確的聽的習慣。他們往往先將聽懂的東西先譯成漢語、用漢語進 行思維理解,缺乏用英語直接思維的習慣,不能做到邊聽邊理解邊記憶,不懂得要將聽懂了并且理解了的信息 迅速聯系起來形成連貫的記憶,最后將全文的要點通過一定的聯系有機地統一起來。
9.語法、習語不扎實。部分學生沒有扎實的語法功底與習語積累,所以在聽時或概念模糊或錯誤理解 句子的語法結構而誤解句子的實意。例如:It isunnecessary for you to go there.一句中,若不懂unneces sary是necessary的反義詞,那么對該句的理解往往會走向相反。又如:There is a boy in frontof the car.與There is a boy in the front of the car.兩句中boy的位置在前句中是在車的前面,而在后句中是在車的 前部。若學生構詞法掌握不好,語法知識、習慣用語不扎實,那么在聽時發生判斷失誤也就不奇怪了。10.背景知識太狹窄。聽力材料內容廣泛,涉及天文、地理、人物、歷史、科技、文藝、教育、醫學、體育等諸多領域。由于學生知識面太狹窄,缺乏對英語國家的風土人情、歷史背景、文化差異的了解,所以 往往聽完一篇材料后對其內容一知半解,甚至不知所云,結果影響了理解。
分析了英語聽力中存在的上述問題后,我們就可以對癥下藥,找出消除障礙、提高聽力的能力的方法。聽 力問題是一個由多種因素決定的深層次的綜合理解的能力問題,只靠簡單機械地放錄音、聽錄音是難于提高聽 力水平的。因此訓練聽力應做到聽與說、讀、寫相結合,齊頭并進。
(五)聽力提高現實教學法
1.強化語音。要強化語音的基本訓練,掌握辨別單詞中的長短元音、輔音、輔音連綴,辨認語流中的 重讀、弱讀、連讀和語調。要讓學生多接觸辨別語音、語調的聽力練習,消除語音上的障礙。
2.辨別口音。針對中學英語聽力磁帶主要是英式英語的發音,而聽力測試往往以美式英語發音為多見 這一現狀,必須訓練學生盡快了解、熟悉英式發音的英語與美式發音的英語的差別,并能較好地適應聽這兩種 不同口音的英語。常用的訓練手段是多聽英、美的廣播節目。如VDA Special English和BBC廣播。這樣做既 可培養學生適應不同口音的英語的能力,又能豐富學生的知識面。3.精泛并聽。精聽與泛聽是聽力訓練中相輔相成的兩種方法。精聽是讓學生反復聽一些聽力材料,直 到完全聽懂為止。例如這些年的高考英語聽力試題。方法可以采取聽寫材料中的每個句子,然后檢查糾正。或 聽后復述材料內容,回答相關問題等,以便了解學生對所聽到的材料的掌握程度。泛聽訓練主要培養抓主題大 意的本領,聽不同的口音與語調,培養良好的語感與明快的語流,豐富知識。教師要處理好兩者之間的關系,泛聽是精聽的基礎,精聽是泛聽的深化,應用泛聽來帶動精聽。
4.聽說結合。聽與說是不可分割的整體。為了說得出,必須聽得懂,只有聽懂了,才能接著說。因此,教師要主動,積極地組織學生利用課內外一切機會說英語,用英語來表達自己。要充分利用“英語角”,接 觸英美藉人士等機會來操練口語。口語中的不同語調可以表達不同的感情、態度和意思,只有多進行口語練習,才能掌握不同語調在上下文中所表達的不同感情,才能使學生在聽時能較好地分辨不同語調所表達的不同內 涵。因此,說能促進聽,聽能帶動說。
5.聽讀結合。對文字材料邊聽邊讀有助于增強語感,辨別語流。聽讀結合能使詞句的音、形、意在記 憶中迅速統一起來,減少判斷誤差。要讓學生養成每天半小時邊聽邊朗讀英語磁帶的習慣。聽讀的材料可以是 課文或與課文難度相仿的段落。開始時可以看著文字材料跟著錄音讀,然后不看文字材料跟著錄音讀,最后憑 語感獨立與錄音同步朗讀。
6.聽寫結合。聽寫練習是提高聽力水平的必不可少的一環。聽寫是一種限時性強、輸入量大、需要高 度集中一個人的注意力與充分調動一個人所有語言知識的強腦力勞動過程。在聽寫過程中,學生只有直接理解,直接記憶,才能把所聽到的內容完整地記錄下來。聽寫起步時可以聽寫一些基本詞語和簡單句型,進而聽寫 課文的縮寫,最后聽寫與課文難度相當的(100—150字的)文字材料。當一個學生能較好地寫下他所聽 到的內容時,那么他對文字內容的理解當然也不會有什么問題了。
7.擴大閱讀。聽力的好壞往往與閱讀有關。書讀得越多,詞匯復現率越高,對常用詞語就會越熟悉,在聽時就可以免去把英語譯成漢語再理解這一心譯過程,直接去領會理解所聽到的材料的內容。一般來說,若 閱讀量小,閱讀速度慢,那么聽的速度也不會快,理解也不會深。要強化對學生的大劑量限時閱讀訓練來促進 其聽力速度的提高。要指導學生在閱讀的過程中避免字字斟酌,句句推敲。只要能在限時之內抓住中心,了解 大意,捕捉住重要細節即可。閱讀速度的提高能促進思維節奏的加快,這樣在聽時能跟上正常讀速的英語。同 時,不同內容的閱讀能豐富學生的知識,培養語感,了解英美文化及篇章結構,弄清它們的思維方式,從而促 進聽力的提高。
8.掌握技巧。利用聽力練習來提高聽的技巧,訓練審題與應變能力,是提高英語聽力測試水平的有效 途徑。在聽力訓練起始階段,可以邊聽邊做一些筆錄,記錄下材料中的人名、地名、時間、年代、數字等信息,以便在答題時可以有所參考。在此基礎上再過渡到用腦去記憶。要注意進行聽力微技能的訓練,抓文章的開 頭與結尾的句子,想方設法捕捉主題和關鍵語句。在聽前先瀏覽練習測試題的供選答案,從中預測聽力材料可 能的內容與體裁。對于一些含蓄的問題,要利用自己的想象與經驗去理解、猜測、推理,并注意英語的背景知 識與習慣用法。在必要時用排除法來剔除不可能成立的答案
小結:
盡管農村初中條件差,以上提高聽力的方法相信一臺收錄機完全能夠辦到,在結合教材方面還可把教材聽力材料打印給學生,方便學生復習聽力,更好把握教材內容。相信過了聽力關,培養了學生的聽感,英語學習的語感也即增強,這無疑提高學生學習英語的成就感,進一步加強學生學習英語的興趣,讓落后的農村初中學生的英語學習打破傳統教學的同時,又體現課改精神,讓學生真正在課改的春風中得到實惠,收獲成功。

1.Introduction
The object of English teaching is to develop the ability of students? acquiring information and communicating with others.During the English teaching, it is true that listening, speaking, reading, and writing are four basic skills.However, listening is very important part of English teaching, and listening is basis for developing other skills and provides a basis for language learning.But it is also the most difficult of all the learning skills for learners to master.When listening, listeners follow the speaker, thinking about what the speaker is saying and what is going on in the mind of the speaker, guessing the speaker?s opinions and attitudes and catching the true meaning of the speaker?s words.Listening itself accounts for almost half of the commutative activities in one?s daily life.In addition, learners should have the knowledge of phonetics, vocabulary and grammar.According to the status quo, on the other hand, the level of listening teaching is decreasing in the countryside.Many learners are afraid of listening, looking on it as more difficult than any other skills and pay much attention to training their ability to speak, read and write.The Result if this causing directly affects the activeness of students who study English listening after, and increase the difficulties of learning to listen.With the deepening if reform and open-up in our country, the distance between the poor and the rich is becoming more and more bigger.At the mostly rural countries, English listening class start with the junior middle school.It is believed that this is a key point that students are encouraged to exercise their ability to listen from this time.From now on, students must accumulate basic knowledge in case they cannot catch up with others after learning roads, for instance, in college.In view of this situation, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of English listening in rural country.In this article, we start with conditions of the middle school listening teaching, point out some problems and design some activities in the beginning of the class.Then we focus on some activities of teaching English listening and insist that the activities should be emphasized on the process of listening, rather than the result of listening.What?s more, students should attach more great importance to the elementary knowledge, such as phonetics,assimilation, enough vocabulary, etc.In this paper, listening problem and strategies of junior middle school in rural area.We will discuss them in details in the follow parts: 2.Current situation of English listening teaching in rural areas China is a developing country.Its economic development is not balanced and production and living standard of rural are very low.Especially in rural country, lack of modern teaching facilities and making structure of teacher-resource unreasonable which affect directly or indirectly students? listening.And the pursuit of short-term examinations also influences English listening.Even most excellent teachers go to developed regions rather than staying at work in the countryside.3.Listening problem of junior middle school students in rural areas Listening is an important mean of language learning.It is one of the significant ways in English language communication.However,(RenXiaoping,2001:1-2)puts forward some statistics show that nearly fifty percent students regard listening comprehension as the most difficult part among all kinds of examinations.in the following parts ,listening problem of junior middle school students in rural areas will be explored.3.1 The pronunciation problem It is clear that “ Phonetics is defined as the study of the phonetic medium of language”, Dai Weidong proposed.(WangQiang,2002:35).If students want to listen and understand the general language materials, they must make every effort to listen and understand each word, which is very important.English, as a new language for Chinese students, usually appears some problems exactly on phonetics, such as the mistakes on pronunciation, intonation, and all kinds of skill like word stress, assimilation, etc.For instance, the phrase “tinned meat”, in the informal occasion, its pronunciation is described as /tin`mi: t/.-Ed among tinned is omitted.The pronunciation of n assimilates /m/ just as following examples: That boy—thap boy
Ten people—tem people In English, Many short words have two or more than kinds of pronunciation: accented mode and one or more than one weak stress.The word in non-stress position of sentence usually appears with mode of weak stress.However, the word in stress position mainly appears with stress mode.But there are many exceptions, sometimes stress appears in position on non-stress Such as the following dialogue: A: You had better give him the key.B: I am going to do it.These two sentences in the pronunciation as follows: “Him” appears with weak stress.On the other hand, it is assimilated by give so that the pronunciation of these two words changes.But in the second sentence, “going to ”and “do” also appear with the form of weak stress.These changes of pronunciation caused the difficulties for the listener.Sentence stress is the relative strength or key point of words on pronouncing among sentence.When people speak, not every word is stressed.All in all, notional words are stressed, but functional words appear with weak stress unless the speaker intended for being emphasized.Good understanding function of sentences can help learners understand implied meaning of sentences in the process of listening comprehension.The following dialogue will serve to illustrate the point:(Man)Is anyone coming to class today?(woman)Relax.It is ?barely ?two.Question: What does the woman mean?
a.Only two people came to class so far.b.The man should take a nap.c.It is not very late.d.The teacher is too strict.The correct answer is c.The lady emphasizes “barely” and “two” in the dialogue.But some students think that he emphasize the reached number.In fact, the woman wants to express this meaning that it is too early to worry about the students? present situation.3.2 Vocabulary problem English has a wide vocabulary and it is a very flexible language.Size of English vocabulary, the proficiency of grasping and phenomenon of polysemy and homonym bring about a certain difficulties for students' listening comprehension.During the process of listening comprehension, listener should not only do the exercises of sound recognition, but also learn more vocabularies.As(Li Guanyi,2008:2-3)put forward that “Some English words have a common root but are used in very different senses.Consider human and humane, for example.Their origin is the same and their meanings are related, but their usage is distinct.A human action is not the same thing as a humane action.We cannot speak of a Declaration of Humane Rights —There is a weapon called a humane killer, but it is not a human killer.” For example, the following two sentences: a:She was fast asleep.b: She ran fast.“Fast” has different meanings in the different contexts.However, students usually make a wrong conclusion according to familiar words which they master.Sometimes using different words can express the different meaning.For example, “Dianti”, British use “lift”, but American use “elevator”;“Ren Xingdao”, British use “pavement”, But American use “sidewalk”.Besides, for instance, first floor, it represents the second floor in Britain, but in American it represents the first floor.3.3 The lack of grammar knowledge Some students have not solid grammar skills and idioms in listening so that they misunderstand the original meaning of sentence with fuzzy concept or misunderstanding grammatical structure of sentences.As the following examples: “It is unnecessary for you to go there.” In this sentence, if students do not know that unnecessary is antonyms of necessary, they will misunderstand this sentence, even the opposition to the meaning.So grammar can help students catch the implication of the vocal sounds, and understand them well, and it is also the essential condition of a whole passage comprehension.3.4.Inadequate background knowledge
Language is the medium of culture, and special culture produces different characteristics of the language background.In China, English is a foreign language(EFL), not a second language(ESL).Both students and teachers are doing their jobs under their condition which quit different from that such as in the US.Even most of articles on English listening textbooks were written by European or American.If students do know the social system, customs, way of thinking and values and so on about western countries, they will be difficult to understand the materials while listening.Consider an ignorant of foreigners for Chinese culture at all, for example.When he or she hears of moon cakes, dumplings, and couplets among Chinese traditional culture, we can hardly ask him or her to have a correct understanding for these.For example, the implication of Chunjie and Dizhu cannot be represented by the Spring Festival Landlord completely.Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum is to Chinese what cowboy is to American.The core of culture is the spirit, including social system, customs, way of thinking and values and so on.China and the western countries including Britain and America, due to the difference of the geographical location, the existing social system, cultural formation and developing process, there are fundamental differences in this aspect.The different values construct different styles of communication and language behavior patterns between the East and West.3.5 Psychological problem
The process of listening comprehension is a very complicated psychological one.So it is very important of students to have a good state while listening.But linguists tell us that it is easy for one to produce frightens when he is at his nervousness.If students meet some words or sentences they do not understand by chance, they will have the fidgets, even some students are afraid of listening at the very beginning.It has designed a variety of obstacles about the important information, and lowered the degree of listening comprehension.On the other hand, the loudness and the articulating of the sounds, the noise made by inside or outside factors, etc, 6
may become barriers affecting the students? listening well.(ZhangQi,1996.10:1)put forward that “Psychological linguistics regards listening is involved with the perception of a language: Perception is to turn the voice into meanings, and it is an analysis of the language signal perception.The process of the language perception is an activity of the short-time memorization.”
How do the students overcome psychological factors? Firstly, teachers should attempt to organize their classes in English, what?s the most important point, students can concentrate on their attention while listening.Secondly, using the first five minutes efficiently before the class, or the revision time, ask students to listen to the radios in English.Never be afraid of it.Psychological quality is quite important to do everything, so does listening comprehension.3.6 Inappropriate listening habits The main purpose of listening is to understand the general idea of the material.During the listening process, students should try their best to catch the main contents which the key point.For instance, some students cannot directly understand materials in English, but with the help Chinese, experienced the process of a heart translation.Besides, students usually do their utmost to get the meaning of each word, each sentences.Once they meet a new word or a difficult sentence, they will stop to think so that they cannot catch up with the speed any more.In fact, it is unnecessary to understand every word, every sentence, only should catch the main idea, that? enough.Therefore, it is necessary for teacher to point out the bad habits and then help the student from good habits.4.Strategies for helping students solve listening problem 4.1 To explore efficient method of listening teaching Teaching methods are an important part of improving the level of students? English listening.Students need to be instructed by teachers in the class.Then teachers should motivate students? activeness and stimulate students? enthusiasm for listening English.Meantime students should study pronouncing rules, listening skills and background of relative culture, etc.There are five ways in listening activities for teachers: choosing the appropriate materials, creating a harmonious atmosphere of teaching, paying attention to teaching art, variety of classroom activities, organizing extra-curricular activities, which will discuss in detail as follow: 4.1.1 Choosing the appropriate materials Before having the class, teachers must choose and analysis the materials.(Jeremy Harmer,2000:100)put forward that “Teachers need to listen the tape all the way through.That way, they will be prepared for any problems, noises, accents etc.That way they can judge whether students will be able to cope with the tape and the tasks that go with it.” By doing so, the teacher will know the length of the materials, the difficult points and the focus of the materials, so the teacher can decide in advance how to go with the teaching in class.4.1.2 Creating a harmonious atmosphere of teaching One kind of democratic, harmonious, loose classroom atmosphere let the students be at one kind of best study state.In the classroom a teacher's look or smile can bring certain influence to the student.Teacher is teaching with English.The teacher must use some body language according to the text content for letting students understand.Teachers should let students Participate in actively and initiatively to build up confidence.4.1.3 Paying attention to teaching art Another way is that the teacher can use some simple tools to stimulate students? interest for listening.First of all, it is crucial point that students? need must be met many tools which teachers use, including colored chalks on the blackboard, multimedia classroom and so on.These tools can create a vivid situation of English learning, and Stimulate and the cultivate students' interest for English learning.Taking advantage of multimedia technologies can make remote and strange environment convert colorful teaching situation so that students can get better comprehending and make students do their best to avoid the disturbances of mother tongue.Then the teacher should let the students speak English with beautiful pictures and melodious music.In a word, letting the student learn English in a state of happy is very
important.4.1.4 Making a variety of classroom activities Teenagers? hyperactivity and naughty is a normal psychological phenomenon.In English class, the teacher should grab the students? individuality to urge them to learn.In particular, it is very
important that the teacher organize class activities.(Wangqiang,2002:90)put forward that “This type of activity works very well as an information gap activity between pairs of students.” For example, one student draws a simple picture and then tells his or her partner how to draw it in English.Neither partner can look at each other?s drawing during the task.After they have completed the task, they can compare their pictures to see how similar they are.4.1.5 Organizing extra-curricular activities Listening is not only trained in the class.The teacher should let students get out of classroom to contact outside environment instead of staying inside.So the extra-curricular activities are important mean of teaching, and it is good for increasing knowledge and opening horizons.Extracurricular activities organized purposeful can make students learn lively independently, and can also stimulate students? enthusiasm for learning.4.1.6 Setting the scene Another type of activity is to set the scene for the students.For example: picture, video, TV etc.Listening to passages in the classroom can be more difficult than listening in real life due to the lack of context.So the teacher can help provide the background information to activate learners? schema or illustrate the picture to help students to understand the main idea, so they will be better prepared to understand what they hear.4.2 To strengthen students’ phonology Teachers should strengthen students? basic training of phonology.On the other hand, students should study to distinguish vowels and consonants within words, to identify stress, weak stress and tone.And teachers should let students more contact with listening exercises of phonology and tone to eliminate the obstacles for phonology.All Ears made by Zhejiang Education Press is valuable training material
for listening.4.3 To combine the four skills 4.3.1 Combination of intensive listening and extensive listening Intensive listening and extensive listening are indispensible in the listening training.Intensive listening is to let students listen some materials again and again until students understand completely.For instance, the student takes measures to listen each sentence among the college entrance examination English listening in these years.Then they check and correct errors.Or the student can repeat material contents after listening, and answer relative questions in order to let teachers know the students? degree of mastering for materials.The purpose of extensive listening is to catch main idea, to listen different tones, to develop good sensitivity and clear and fluent speed of language and to enlarge knowledge.The teacher must cope with their relation between these.To sum up, extensive listening is the basis of intensive listening, and intensive listening is the deepening of extensive listening.What's more, using extensive listening drives intensive listening.4.3.2 Combination of listening and speaking.Listening and speaking are indispensible.The student must listen to understand in order to say.Only do students understand, they can say after that.Therefore, The teacher should organize actively students to use every chance to say English, and to use English to show themselves.However, the student should make full use of English Corner to exercise their oral English.Different tones in oral English can express different emotion, attitudes and meanings.Only do students more exercise, they can grasp that different tones show different feelings in the context.Furthermore, more exercises on oral English can make students better distinguish different tones which express different meanings.To conclude, speaking can improve listening, and listening can drive speaking.4.3.3 Combination of listening and reading Reading can develop the language sensitivity and the flow of speech while listening.The combination of listening and reading can make tong, structure and meaning get together, and reduce errors of judging.For teachers, they should let
student develop good habits of reading half hour each day while listening.All in all, whatever the materials of listening and reading are texts or passages, the student start with recording with words, then they can read with recording without words.At last, the student can be read synchronously with sensitivity and reading.4.3.4 Combination of listening and writing.The exercises of listening and writing are very important for improving the level of listening.Listening and writing are the process of brain labor that need needs the high attention of concentration with limited time and stimulates actively students? whole language knowledge.In the process of listening and writing, the student only understand directly and memorize, which can make the whole contents write down completely while listening.When a student can better take down contents which he or she listen, he or she will understand the content, hat?s not a question.4.4 To enhance cultural knowledge of English language In communicative habits, a nation's cultural characteristics in language reflects mainly sentences with words and tone of Voice, therefore, must be considered the cultural factors in the language.Due to students' growth in rural area, so their knowledge of English culture is relatively scarce with information block.In view of this, the teacher must instruct consciously students know politics, geography, history, social system and so on.4.5 To develop the independent awareness of studying about rural students.The success of English teaching in college relies on students? independent awareness of studying.And the differences of student's individuality also require students to promote corresponding training in listening, speaking, reading, writing according to their specific conditions.Therefore, the independent training can help students' listening comprehension improve.Nevertheless, how should students do in junior middle school? Specifically speaking, teachers? duty is very important.As people, playing is children? nature, they are very active, especially junior middle school.They are hard to calm down if teachers do not stop them properly.So teachers should make reasonable plans in order to meet students? taste, and help them carry out plans.Gradually the student will form good habit after class.4.6 To improve teaching facilities of English in rural area It is true that listening teaching has taken place changes fundamentally for modern multimedia languages which make computer, VCR, recorder, projector, network and teaching software of listening, etc.put together and make images, audio, video, storage and transmission integrate.With the development of modern educational technologies, multimedia computer as the core of the foreign language teaching has become the developing direction of foreign language teaching reform.Therefore, national education sector and rural secondary school should change with the times, and attach importance to the English teaching of rural junior school.At the same time, they also increase investment in rural country, and improve teaching facilities, and recruit excellent teachers.4.7 Other strategies 4.7.1 Expanding scope of reading.Now listening is related to reading.The more students read, the higher rates of lexical reiteration become.Moreover, the student can avoid the process of a heart translation to digest directly material contents of listening.Generally speaking, if a student has few scope of reading, his or her speed of reading will be low.So their sped of listening is not fast, and their understanding is not deep.For teachers, they must make a point of reading training to improve speed of reading.Even they should guide students to avoid deliberating one by one word.It is proper that students can only catch main idea and grasp important details within limited time.The improvement of reading speed can promote acceleration of thinking tempo.In this circumstance, the student can keep up with speed of listening.4.7.2 Mastering skills Using listening exercises improves skills of listening and changeable abilities which is an effective way for English listening.At the beginning stage of listening training, the student can take notes.For instance, they should put down name, place, time, Age and so on in the materials.The objective of doing this is to regard these information gotten down as references.On the basis of this, students then use their
brain to memorize.Now students must pay attention to the training of micro-skills on listening, and catch the beginning and ending of articles to make their every effort to grasp theme and key sentence.At last, students should browse options on questions, and then predict the content and genre in the listening materials.For some implied problems, the student must make the most of their imagination and experience to understand, guess, promote, and notice the background knowledge and usage of English.If necessary, the student can use PaiChuFa to eliminate impossible answer.5.Conclusion In the final analysis, on one hand, we all know some problems which exist in the English listening are phonetics, stress , weak stress, etc.On the other hand, we also put forward some solutions to deal with these problems.Just as teachers change their practice activity they gain new insights about the learning potentials of their students.(Zhang Jianzhong,1999:290-297), “These success have encouraged teachers to preserve in their effort to design learning experiences that provide multiple entry and exit points for their students.” In fact, teachers did not teach the phonetics and phonology in the junior middle school.Main practice on listening is about the textbook which has a small part for training listening.But the listening teaching is limited, It must add some activities.In the listening activities, according to the certain purpose, it can choose different skills: scientific training on listening, harmonious atmosphere in the class, paying attention to teaching art, making a variety of classroom activities, organizing extra-curricular activities and so on.These types of activities can be designed into games, which are popular for student.Above all, we make a point of teachers? role.More importantly, we also cannot ignore students? importance.In most cases, students should even take the initiative to exercise listening.For instance, students should master skills, including cultural knowledge of English language, developing abilities of reading and writing, etc.Besides there?s no exception that the government should make a point of education concerning rural country, for the government must provide substantial financial support and teaching equipment.In short, teachers play a important role of supervision, students play a
dominant role, and the government play a role of adjuvant in the junior middle school in the countryside for the improvement of listening level.If we excellently cope with the relationships between students? role, teachers? role and the government, we will not worry about improving the level of English listening.If they can perform their duties, the improvement of listening will not prove to be a problem in the junior middle school in the countryside.Bibliography

第四篇:初中英語聽力問題及解決(定稿)
初中英語聽力問題及解決
聽力作為一項重要的語言交際技能在英語教學中占據著越來越重要的位置.但在我們的英語教學中它又是讓我們頭疼的問題。隨著英語新教材的啟用,加強學生的聽力訓練,提高學生聽力理解水平,已經受到廣大英語教師的高度重視。但從學校調查統計的結果來看,將近50%的學生認為目前英語學習中最感困難、最為頭疼的就是聽力理解。現在,把我在平常所做的一點成功的做法與大家分享.。
1.激發學生聽的興趣
一要營造氛圍激發興趣。在課堂教學中教師要盡可能的多用英語來組織教學,盡可能的做到不用或是少用漢語來組織教學。同時,要組織學生利用課內外的一切機會來說英語。比方說,在授新課時,堅持先讓學生聽教師發音,再讓他們模仿練習;然后聽課文錄音,并根據所聽內容簡要回答問題;最后再打開課本,教師與學生一起研讀課文,通過這種方式培養學生仔細聽的習慣。在課余時間,多鼓勵學生多進行英語進行交談,這樣既可以鍛煉學生的口語,也很好的鍛煉了學生的聽力。
二要借用媒介提高興趣。研究表明,學生在聽錄音時,有時候聽起來比較費力。如果此時,借助多媒體將教學信息通過圖像、聲音、圖表、文字等直觀形象,生動地作用于學生的感覺器官,促使學生產生我要聽的興趣。因此,教師可以借助多媒體的錄像、幻燈、投影、簡筆畫、圖表等功能,幫助學生加深對聽力材料的理解。
三要創設情景鞏固興趣。情景教學是在教學過程中使知識與情感交流暢通無阻,直接提高學生積極健康的情緒體驗的教學方法。它可以鞏固學生的學習興趣,直接提高學生對學習的積極性。比如,在新教材學習中,教師可以讓學生在教師設置的情景下,進行對話練習,在練習時要求所有人都用英語。這樣就倒逼學生將注意力集中在聽上了,學生為了在同學們面前表現自己的能力,在課下也會進行積極的練習,這就在無形中提高了聽力能力。
2.掌握聽力解題技巧
學生往往有這樣一種感覺,聽力內容不難但做起題目來沒把握。問題就出在聽力解題技巧不夠或平時沒有養成良好的聽的習慣。如何提高學生這方面的能力?
第一,要學會聽前從題目中了解相關信息。教會學生聽前快速瀏覽習題,捕捉一切可以從題面上得到的消息。
第二,要突出重點全面把握。要學會抓住重點詞語和要點,要注重句子和短文的整體內容,從整體上把握聽的內容。第三,要重點作好記錄。記錄時要有重點、有技巧,如數詞用阿拉伯數字記錄、地點人名用代號、長詞用縮寫、長句抓住主要成分。
3.聽說結合。聽與說是不可分割的整體。為了說得出,必須聽得懂,只有聽懂了,才能接著說。因此,教師要主動,積極地組織學生利用課內外一切機會說英語,用英語來表達自己。要充分利用“英語角”,接 觸英美藉人士等機會來操練口語。
4.聽讀結合。對文字材料邊聽邊讀有助于增強語感,辨別語流。聽讀結合能使詞句的音、形、意在記 憶中迅速統一起來,減少判斷誤差。要讓學生養成每天半小時邊聽邊朗讀英語磁帶的習慣。聽讀的材料可以是 課文或與課文難度相仿的段落。開始時可以看著文字材料跟著錄音讀,然后不看文字材料跟著錄音讀,最后憑 語感獨立與錄音同步朗讀。
第五篇:淺析農村英語聽力教學
淺析農村英語聽力教學
學情分析
教材分析
一、(一)農村初中英語學情分析
學生方面
多數學生來農村,受農村教學條件、師資、管理的影響生源素質低,學生在小學階段基本尚失學習興趣,基本沒有良好學習習慣,基本沒有學習自覺性和能力。對多數農村學生來講,學習英語不是為了用它交談,寫作,只簡單的應付畢業考試,有的學了幾年連英文字母多少個都不知道.由于缺乏和新教材配套的多媒體教學儀器和手段,大多教師都憑一個錄音機和一塊小黑板授課,難以突出教材主題,創造語言環境,更無法調動學生學習積極性, 在這種學情下及格都成了問題,厭學傾向十分嚴重,學生英語學習成績差,英語聽力成績更差。
在英語聽力方面,學生們害怕聽力,辨不清單詞,思維跟不上錄音語速,不會猜詞和預測,英語聽力很受地方語言的影響,經常聽不出近似的單詞,口音的辨別能力幾乎沒有。
對于篇章和主要內容的理解很模糊,不能做出正確的判斷和推理。偶爾也只能聽懂少數幾個單詞。但關鍵信息和詞語也抓不住。一聽英語或是做聽力題就緊張或是惶恐。平時練習聽力的時候就依賴文字,看著腳本才聽得下去,沒有做筆記的習慣,很少有英語聽力策略或者技巧。學生的聽力實踐往往比較缺乏,通常只在英語課堂上進行,學生并不面對說話人,通常也不參與對話,只是聽,即使有一些口語方面的輸出,但
2010-8-15
與真實交流相比,在很大程度上仍然是單項的理解程度,是通過做習題或教師提問來檢查的。
教師方面:
農村中學英語專職教師缺乏,英語教學理論知識薄弱,英語能力和水平有限,英語教學內容和教法單一陳舊。由于大多數農村中學缺乏現代電教設備,在聽力教學中,英語老師只靠一部錄音機,采用“放錄音—聽錄音—對答案”的形式,播放教材所配磁帶。除此以外就沒有其他聽力材料。跟不用說實用語音室,多媒體和利用網絡資源。
教材方面:
不太適應農村學校的教學實際。人教社出版的英語新教材“Go For It”在城市學校使用可能是一部很不錯的教材,但對于大多數小學未開英語課的農村學校來說還是難度太大。語言能力較低的學生遇上高起點、高難度的教材,不利于農村英語學生英語學習目標的的達成,英語能力的形成和提高。
二、農村中學學生聽力普遍差的原因
學生自身素質不高:
1.學生對英語學習和英語聽力的重視不夠:
相對城市中小學生,農村學生在教育資源上相對缺乏,這種缺乏不僅表現在教育硬件上的缺乏,也表現在教育 “軟件”上的缺乏。
很多農村家長自身素質不高,對對子女的教育和學習不夠重視,往往不能很好地配合學校和老師對學生進行教育,更不用說占很大比例的農村留守兒童。很多農村學生認為學英語沒有很大用處。農村兒童相對于城市兒童學習意愿不高,對于相比其他科目需要更多投入的英語來說更是如此。學生們連母語都不愿意學,更別提要把英語學好.尤其是聽力知識。
1.發音不準,語音的辨別能力低。要想聽懂一般語言材料,盡多地聽懂其中每一個詞是至關重要的。然而部分學 生對英語標準發音掌握不好,或者他們自身的英語發音與標準發音差距甚大。平時由于聽的少,訓練的也少,對聽力材料中一些常見的連讀、失爆、同化、弱讀、升降調等語音、語調感到無所適從。在聽的過程中,2010-8-15
往往分辨不出聽 到的是哪個詞或者分不清詞與詞的界線。有時即使聽到了已經學過的詞時,也會誤聽,混淆,作出錯誤判斷,理解困難。
2.語流的連貫能力弱。有時候學生對平時能正確發音的單詞在句中聽到時也不能正確分辨,從而影響 對全局的理解。這是因為學生缺乏一種連貫的語流。詞在句中朗讀時的弱讀、重讀、連讀、語氣的變化、語調 的升降都會導致在連貫語流中語音的發音變化。學生若缺乏連貫的語流能力,那么在聽時就會對全句的意思產生誤解。
3.詞義的語境判斷差。大多數單詞在字典上有多種釋義,而不同的詞義取決于該詞的不同語境。對一 個詞的確切詞義判斷應根據上下文來決定。而學生往往只根據自己所熟悉的詞義判斷。
4.猜字的技能技巧低。在聽力中,學生難免會聽到陌生的詞,他們不可能有足夠的時間去推敲,而只能根據上下文內容去進行聯想猜測。
5.口音的辨析能力差。在聽力中,常會聽到不同國家、地域、年齡、職業的人說英語。英國音與美國 音在發音上的較大不同會使學生無法較好地進行分辨。因此一些極普通的常用詞在學生聽起來就成了陌生的不熟悉的詞,結果影響了對全篇聽力材料的理解。
6.母語和方言負遷移。學生學習英語發音的時候很容易受方言的影響,把方言強調帶入英語發音中去,比如在寧遠方言中:/l/ 和/n/就不分,所以light 和night學生也是區分不出來的。而更多的問題是學生學習英語發音的時候,會出現母語負遷移,用漢語拼音或是漢字去注解幫助學習英語發音,如 “English”(應給利息)。而在聽英語的時候又會逐字逐句的在腦海里把英語翻譯成漢語,這樣就影響了聽力反應速度。
7.主要內容抓不住。只要聽懂中心內容,就能理解領會全文。但部分學生不善于在聽時抓主要內容。不能通過對各個局部的理解快速找到上下文間的聯系。8.重要細節捕不牢。聽力不僅要求學生聽懂材料的主要內容和中心思想,而且要求學生聽懂能說明主 題的重要細節。對于那些影響整篇材料的重要細節更必須弄清楚,因為它們有助于對整篇材料的理解。例如:人物、時間、地點、事件、數字等。學生在聽的過程中往往忽視對以上重要細節的記憶與分辨。9.沒有形成好的習慣。如在聽的時候做筆記。
10.語法、習語不扎實。部分學生沒有扎實的語法功底與習語積累,所以在聽時或概念模糊或錯誤理解句子的語法結構而誤解句子的實意。
11.背景知識太狹窄。聽力材料內容廣泛,涉及天文、地理、人物、歷史、科

技、文藝、教育、醫學、體育等諸多領域。由于學生知識面太狹窄,缺乏對英語國家的風土人情、歷史背景、文化差異的了解,所以聽力理解的難度就很大。11.心理因素影響
在進行英語聽力的時候,有時候因為個別詞或是幾個詞聽不出來,學生就會很緊張、焦慮,因而影響整個聽力任務的完成。一
1.2來自農村教師的影響
當前我國農村中學英語專職教師極缺,很多教師原來是教其它科目的,但由于缺乏英語教師,他們又不得不被迫“改行”。即使擁有英語專科或本科文憑的教師,大部分也只不過是通過函授獲得的。英語教師除了讀課文及一些常用的課堂教學用語之外,甚至很少用英語上課。據調查,目前全國中小學還聘用了幾十萬代課教師,這其中就包括很大一部分農村中學英語代課教師。可以說,在整體上,我國農村中學英語教師還遠遠沒有達到
教師專業化的要求,從而導致他們在教學中存在很多問題,就影響聽力方面而言,主要體現在:
1.教師除了讀課文及一些常用的課堂教學用語之外,甚至很少用英語上課。因為在英語課堂上,學生聽不懂就會要求老師用中文解釋,這些老師考慮到學生聽不懂,也慢慢地放棄用英語講課。而教師一旦放棄用英語教英語,學生接觸英語語言環境的機會就更少。這就要求我們教師平時上課時也應盡量用地道的英語來授課,以便讓學生在獲得知識的同時,提高聽力水平。
1.語音、語調水平低。一些教師語音不準,發音部位都弄不準,因而讀單詞時含糊不清,弄得學生難以辨別;在讀句子時,由于沒有很好地把握同化、合成、弱化、連讀、重音、爆破等發音方法,更是顯得平乏、呆板、不連貫。結果很容易導致學生語感差,難以聽懂真正純正地道的英語。
2.強調“應試教育”,對英語聽力缺乏重視。教師對聽力課缺乏重視。許多教師在中學英語教學中沒必要把聽力課獨立出來,因此,聽力課的存在還是一個問題。而且上聽力課也覺得不需備課,只要事先把材料聽一下,答案做好就行。
一些教師為了在全鄉或全縣舉行的期中、期末統一考試中取得好成績,他們只注重英語語法的教學,要求學生多做相關練習,加強學生對單詞的“死記硬背”。這種所謂的“啞巴”式英語教育教學模式,很容易造成教師忽視對學生英語綜合2010-8-15
素質的培養;造成教師把聽力視為可有可無的東西,從而使學生的聽力訓練缺乏針對性、長期性、全面性。
3.缺乏對學生進行英語閱讀指導。在當前黨和國家大力倡導為農民“減負”,為學生“減負”的形勢下,學校幾乎沒有為學生訂購一些專門用來擴大閱讀范圍和提高閱讀速度的書籍,教師也沒有有意識地、有針對性地指導學生如何進行閱讀,如何提高英語閱讀速度。這使農村中學生的英語閱讀量和閱讀范圍以及閱讀速度受到了很大的限制。
4.缺乏對學生進行聽力技巧的指導。眾所周知,由于我國以前的教育教學質量以及教學設備都相對較差。因此,大多數的中學農村英語教師在他們自己讀書期間,就很少甚至沒有進行過專門的英語聽力訓練,也就沒有就如何提高英語聽力水平有著很深的切身體驗,除了向學生介紹一些最基本的方法外,也就無法更進一步指導學生提高英語聽力能力。
5.由于很多教師理論知識薄弱,缺乏現代教育學、心理學、教育技術學、語言學、英語教學法等方面的知識,因而也就無法使他們自己為改善英語聽力教學尋找到充分的理論支撐,有時還會采用錯誤的教學策略。面對這種狀況,省市經常會對城市中學的老師進行各種各樣的培訓,以便更好的提高他們的業務能力。而這些培訓由于種種原因大部分的鄉村中學老師得不到培訓和提高。農村教師教學內容和教學方法單一。由于農村中學缺乏英語教學的電教設備,農村教師用的聽力內容多為磁帶,很少有甚至幾乎不用與視聽說相結合的材料,如原版電影,用于教學的VCD或英語歌曲等。教師常采用“放錄音—聽錄音—對答案”三步曲。這種聽力練習的形式,使教師成了播放錄音機的機器,無所作為,而學生的主體作用得不到發揮。在這樣的聽力課堂中,學生根本沒興趣可言,打哈欠,睡成一片,或無所適從的情況常出現。上聽力課時,教師考慮學生聽力較差就讓學生邊聽邊看本文。聽就是聽,但在聽的時候看文字材料,學生一旦形成習慣就得文字的依賴性很大,聽力能力難以提高。這樣一來,實際是以讀代聽。這種邊聽邊讀,其實是聽的能力被削弱了。這樣對培養聽的技能只能起阻礙作用。英國教學法專

家比落斯曾說道:“如果一個教師想要系統的訓練自己學生的聽力,那么他在朗讀時就不應該允許學生把視覺作為聽覺競爭的認識事物的信息源。”
1.3農村學校的教學設施困乏
很多農村學校英語教學設備還僅僅只有錄音機,更別說多媒體教學儀器和語音室了。有的地方還是幾個老師共用一臺錄音機的。教室里的插座也經常出現問題,又不能及時維修.就連僅有的一臺破舊的錄音機也是很少能及時派上用場,嚴重影響聽力教學。
