The Application of Activity-based Approach to Oral English Teaching in Junior Middle School 活动教学法在初中英语口语教学中的应用 摘要 课堂活动教学在吸收了传统教学的优点的同时，融入了活动，以知识的应用为主，强调多样性、主动性、自主性的优点，进一步完善了英语学科教学体系，使英语学科课堂教学更能体现学生学习的主体性和创造性，也融入了新课程的理念，全面提高学生素质。新课程理念强调，要积极倡导自主、合作、探究的学习方式，培养学生主动探究、团结合作、勇于创新的学习精神。以培养创新精神和实践能力为重点的素质教育是当今教育改革的主旋律，课堂教学则是培养学生创新精神及实践能力的主阵地。学生只有在主动参与学习并且主动投入教学活动中才能由过去单一接受式的学习方式转化为自主、合作、探究的学习方式。因此，培养学生主动参与学习的品质是实现学习方式的变革和构建新型课堂结构的关键。而活动教学法正有力地体现了这一点。 关键词：活动教学； 呈现活动； 练习活动 Abstract China carries out a series of reform on junior English teaching, and oral English teaching is concerned widely.
