第一篇:关于英语高考单词拼写的教学反思
关于英语高考单词拼写的教学反思
高一英语 李毅懿 NMET单词拼写在命制上的特点有: i.大量选用多音节词。以NMET99为例, 构成各单词的字母数超过7个的单词有9 个, 占到90%:
umbrella, recognize, average, necessary, passenger, declare, familiar,restaurant, recently ii.词意较为生僻或使用率偏低。
average, declare, familiar iii.根据语境要求, 填入所写英文单词的适当形式有4道。
recognized, passengers, declared, restaurants 3.从NMET96始, NMET把对单词拼写的测试置于句子之中。研读近年NMET单词拼写试
题, 我们会发现单词拼写在语境的作用下, 出现多元变化。这表现在: i.英语屈折语的变化
The National Games were well(组织).→(organized)用动词的过去分词形式, 形成被动语态。
ii.辨义词语的变化 [accept] / receive(高考英语97第76题):
iii.确认句式或短语的变化
The patient kept(咳嗽)all night.→(coughing)句式 [keep doing=keep coughing] iv.词性转换的变化(舒服“comfort”)→ [comfortably“舒服地”]
I changed into my sports shoes so that I could walk more(舒服).→(comfortably)
据此, 可以看出单词拼写题型应重新定位, 其确切含义应是“单词拼写与单词用法”。此外, 在NMET必考1929词中, 有部分词汇由于教材等原因成为盲点‘或称为消极词汇, 考生对其或不认,或会认却不会用,在需要的时候,不能及时地将该词从记忆中调出, 如: majority, thorough, pour, beyond,ceiling,coast,envy,frequently, mass,modest,port,shortcoming,sleeve,thunder,wealth,trick,stocking, pressure, etc.。NMET单词拼写的解题过程
1.首先要仔细审题, 即在句子缺词的情况下, 尽量弄懂句子的大意, 并根据句子已给出的语境, 判断出所缺的单词, 试将该单词放入句子当中, 看看是否能使句子完整, 句意明确。
2.在解题过程中要特别注意根据句子中所缺成分, 判断所缺单词的词类,应是名词、动词还是形容词、副词等。注意动词的变化形式, 和词类转换过程中单词所产生的特殊变化。
3.完成英语单词的拼写后, 要把句子重读一遍, 检查句子是否通顺, 单词拼写是否准确无误。4.实例演示
i.The workers demanded an i_____ reply from their boss.【解】先读全句, 根据已给出的词语, 得知句意为“ 工人们要求老板答复”, 什么样的答复? 由此可知,句中缺少一个形容词。试填入immediate。重读全句,意思明确: 工人们要求老板立即答复。
ii.Water f_____ at zero degree centigrade.【解】先读全句, 根据已给出的词语, 得知 “水在摄氏0度时……”, 句子中缺的是动词。根据常识我们知道水在零度时结冰,再反过来想想结冰英语为freeze,主语是water, 应用第三人称单数形式 freezes。写出单词后, freezes放入句中再读一遍, 进行检查.值得关注的一些NMET必考词汇
1.NMET2000词汇共1929个, 必考短语405条。2.词汇及短语的挑选基于如下考虑:
① 需要关注拼写的单词
② 需要关注发音的单词
③ 需要关注词义的单词或短语
④ 需要关注用法的单词或短语
3.以下词汇及短语会对NMET语音试题、单词拼写、单项填空、短文改错以及书面表达等题型的解题产生积极影响。

第三篇:小学四年级英语四会单词拼写教学反思
小学四年级英语四会单词拼写教学反思
腰站小学
张艳茹 小学英语从四年级上册开始,除了要求学生掌握26个英文字母的听、说、读、写之外,还要求学生掌握一些单词,能听、说、认读,并且能在四线格中进行拼写。
这个要求使四年级的学生一下子觉得有点不大适应,有些学生连26个字母的听、说、读、写都觉得很吃力,现在要求他们掌握单词的拼写,的确有点累。所以,怎么样帮助他们掌握这些单词,便成了老师的重要任务。
我在教学四会要求单词时,先通过日常谈话引出要学的四会单词,然后把它写到黑板上的四线格中,边写边让学生一起拼写,让学生注意单词的书写格式和书写方法。然后再与学生一起拼写,并告诉学生一些单词的发音规则,告诉他们哪些字母和字母组合通常发什么音,以便于他们对单词的记忆。之后,让他们在活动手册上进行临摹,并在抄写本上进行适量的抄写,及时批改,对拼写错误的和格式错误的学生进行个别指导,努力做到人人都能掌握。
对一些相似或者有相似部分的单词,我会把它们写在黑板上进行对比教学。比如在教pen,pencil,pencil-case这三个单词时,我让学生找到它们的相同部分,进行比较记忆。这样,就比较方便。在教学room,classroom,school,book,door这几个单词时,我告诉他们有两个O的字母组合一般发/u:/,让他们联系起来进行记忆。另外,我在教学新的四会单词前,会对前面学过的四会单词进行复习,然后再教学新的单词,帮助学生进行不断的复习。并且我还在早上或者课前进行集体默写,让学生对自己的复习情况进行检查。
