探究式学习在英词汇教学中的运用.docVIP

Abstract With the urgent call for life-long study and quality education, English researchers have started to show concern on helping the learners to develop not only English skills but also English learning strategies. The thesis attempts to explore the overall situation of junior-three students’ English vocabulary learning in Wuxi Middle School. Questionnaire is adopted in the research and 33 junior-three students of Wuxi Middle School are involved in the investigation. The data reveal the following findings. Firstly, most students considered vocabulary learning is a monotonous, mechanical task. Secondly, vocabulary learning strategies used by junior students are very limited. Inquiry-based learning, being one of the students’ study styles, should be used in the vocabulary learning process to improve the effect of learning. Therefore, some suggestions are put forward for junior students to try various kinds of strategies in order to find the suitable strategies which can help them to learn vocabulary effectively. Key words: inquiry-based learning; vocabulary leaning; vocabulary learning strategies 摘 要 现代教育的基本目标是教会学生怎样学习，这是终身学习的需要，也是知识信息爆炸的需要。在这一目标的指导下，英语教学不仅要让学生熟练地掌握各种英语技能，还要教会学生学习英语的策略。 本论文旨在了解扬武中学初三年级英语词汇学习的总体情况。针对学生词汇学习过程中存在的问题，本文建议把能提高学生词汇学习兴趣及记忆效率的学习方式之一—— 探究式学习应用到词汇学习中。本文通过问卷调查对扬武中学初三(一)班的33名学生进行了调查。数据的收集来源于这33名被调查的学生所做的问卷。调查数据结果表明：大部分参与调查的学生认为词汇学习是一种单调、机械的活动；另外，初中生在词汇学习过程中使用的学习策略很有限。由此可见,要改变这一现象，最根本的是要转变学生的学习方式。本论文以英语探究学习中的策略意识为依据提出了一些词汇学习策略，以便让学生通过使用多种学习策略来找到适合自己的有效学习策略，提高词汇学习的效率。 关键词：探究式学习; 词汇学习; 词汇学习策略 Contents 1.
