谈英文歌曲与英语听力教学
实验高中
欧阳伟 英文歌曲作为一种英语听力教学的辅助手段,能够激发学生学习英语的兴趣,减轻心理压力,提高听力水平,能极大的激发学生学习英语的热情。
一、听力教学中引入英文歌曲的重要意义
(一)培养兴趣,激发学生的热情
英文歌曲以其优美的旋律,欢快抒情的节奏深受广大青少年的喜爱,能够激发人们对语言学习的积极性。因而听英文歌曲最能调动学生的学习动力,激发他们的学习热情。如《花心》—《Flirtatious heart》,《容易受伤的女人》—《Broken-hearted woman》等。这些歌曲不仅为我们的生活带来了几分不同的色彩,还能带动学习听英文歌曲的热潮。可见,听英文歌曲既有利于缓解学生的心理压力,产生对英语听力的亲近感,还有利于教师因势利导,用地道的语言构造形式去解析抽象的词法、句法,寓教于乐。
(二)纠正发音,增强学生的语感
在听力训练中,教师往往会发现,学生阅读时的词汇量远远大于听材料时的词汇量,他们经常听不清或者拼不出自己实际上认识并会拼写的单词。当对句子或者短文进行听力理解训练时,学生往往只能听出几个零星的单词而无法听懂整个句子或者是短文。之所以会出现这样的情况主要是因为学生语音知识薄弱,无法正确地辨别弱读,连读,省读等常见的读音现象。因此
纠正学生的发音,强化学生的语音知识很重要。要作到语音知识的强化,教师必须促使学生仔细揣摩并掌握模仿这些语音知识。教师抽象地讲解在学生那里取得的效果是有限的,必须给学生强化训练。英文歌曲就是一种很好的语音知识练习素材,因为英文歌曲富于感情,节奏感强。如果学生读不懂其中的重读,弱读,连读的话,则根本就无法听懂歌词。当学生被歌曲优美的旋律打动力图听懂正确的发音而去有意识地模仿时,他们已经自然而然地习得了语音知识,为提高听力水平打下了良好的基础。
(三)厚积薄发,扩大学生的词汇量
词汇量不足是学生提高听力水平的主要障碍。英文歌曲的主题多样,涉及面广,学生能从中接触到大量的单词,词组,习惯用语甚至是俚语、俗语。学生可能会比较熟悉一些生僻的词汇,然而不知道身边的一些最基本的表达方法。听歌可以使学生学到许多在书本上少见的大众化的地道的口语,许多原本枯燥、乏味的单词和习语,在英文歌曲中被赋予了美丽、感人的含义,再加上歌曲所特有的节奏和感情使它们有了生气,在反复接触中,潜移默化地吸收消化,深深地印在听者的脑海和记忆中,扩大了词汇量,为英语听力水平的提高扫清了障碍。
(四)弥补缺陷,变被动为主动
传统的听力课堂上,听力材料内容比较有限。抱着一本书,哪怕是最好的书,也是无论如何不能学好外语的,更不用说是提高听力水平。另外,传统的听力课堂教学手段单一。放音—做题—对答案成了固定的模式三步曲。使得课堂气氛沉闷,学生注意力不集中,限制了学生的思维空间。听力技巧的训练应该是多维的,不应该拘泥于一本书,将英文歌曲这一学生喜闻乐见的形式,穿插到英语听力课堂教学中来,丰富了教师的教学手段,给学生创造了一种轻松愉快的语言学习环境,激发了学生的学习情趣。从“要我听”到“我要听”,变被动学习为主动学习,大大提高了学生学习听英语的积极性。
二、教学过程中如何有效发挥英文歌曲的作用
(一)要学会选歌曲
教师一定要在选曲上多下工夫,要考虑什么样的歌可以用于课堂教学。所选择的歌曲,既要迎合学生的爱好,又有利于学生对英语文化的了解,而且难易适当,易学易唱。那些吐字清晰,有一定的词汇量,主题健康并反映了一定的文化信息的歌曲应该作为首选。因为所选歌曲的质量直接影响了学生的学习效果。比如“Yesterday”中有很多的经典短句,教师可以拿来和学生一起分享。“yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away”, “yesterday, love was such an easy game to play”。歌曲使学生能接触到地道的英语口语,为他们的英语学习提供了真实的语言输入,从而为语言输出的质量提供了一个必要的前提。
(二)要学会分析歌曲。教师可以让学生先听。听完一遍后,教师对歌曲做一个简要的介绍,帮助学生理解歌曲。教师可以从介绍歌曲的演唱者或者是歌曲的背景、内涵入手。比如《雪绒花》(Edelweiss)中这样唱:Edelweiss, Edelweiss, every morning you greet me.Small and white, clean and bright, you look happy to meet me.Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow, bloom and grow forever.Edelweiss, Edelweiss, bless my
homeland forever…教师可以介绍歌曲内涵:这首歌是奥斯卡影片《音乐之声》的一首插曲,该片讲述的是奥地利的一位年轻的女家庭教师与他的雇主—一位有着七个孩子的单身爸爸的爱情故事,以及他们一家人与纳粹英勇斗争的动人事迹。
(三)要教会运用歌曲。歌曲正是真实语言应用的文化现象,其特点恰恰是重复性强,连贯性强,而且朗朗上口,便于记忆和诵读。所以,教师可以有意识地要求学生诵读一些韵律比较好的歌词,加强记忆。如《航行》(Sailing)这首歌句式简单,曲调优美,运用了大量的现在进行时,听唱几遍后学生们就能模仿了,不仅提高了学生的学习热情,而且提高了学习效果。

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy;Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry;Sunshine on the water looks so lovely;Sunshine almost always makes me high.If I had a day that I could give you, I'd give you a day just like today;If I had a song that I could sing for you, I'd sing a song to make you feel this way.If I had a tale that I could tell you, I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile;If I had a wish that I could wish for you I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while.Sunshine almost all the time makes me high.11.Yesterday once more 在学定语从句时引用歌词中,学生还可掌握
make的用法
When I was young I'd listen to the radio Waiting for my favorite songs When they played I'd sing along, It make me smile.Those were such happy times and not so long age How I wondered where they'd gone.But they're back again just like a long lost friend All the songs I love so well.Every shalala every wo'wo still shines.Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine When they get to the part where he's breaking her heart It can really make me cry just like before.It's yesterday once more.Looking back on how it was in years gone by And the good times that I had makes today seem rather sad, So much has changed.It was songs of love that I would sing to them And I'd memorize each word.Those old melodies still sound so good to me As they melt the years away Every shalala every wo'wo still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine All my best memories come back clearly to me Some can even make me cry just like before.It's yesterday once more.Every shalala every wo'wo still shines.Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine Every shalala every wo'wo still shines.Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine 12.I Love Little Pussy可以练习IF条件句,教师也可改动单词有助于学生增加单词量
I love little pussy,her coat is so warm.And if I don't hurt her,she'll do me so harm.I'll sit by the fire and give her some food.And pussy will love me because I am good.13.We Wish You a Merry Christmas这首歌可以作为介绍圣诞节日期、起源、食物、派对、礼物、圣诞树和圣诞老人等文化背景的导入。we wish you a merry christmas.we wish you a merry christmas.we wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year.14.The days of months

I swear by the moon and stars in the sky I'll be there I swear like te he shadow that's by your side I'll be there For better or worse, till death do us part I'll love you with every(single)beat of my heart I swear, i swear, oh...I...swear...在教学中多选些英文歌曲或相关歌手的材料来补充教学内容,可以增加课堂教学的趣味性,弥补教材的不足,使学习的知识性和趣味性相结合,让学生学得开心,唱得开心,真正做到寓教于乐。
16.教“no matter”加疑问词和“however”所引导的让步状语从句时,就可教学生唱“No Matter What ”这首歌。学生在反复吟唱中可学会“no matter what”这一语法点,运用英文歌曲可以将枯燥的语法学习趣味化。
No matter what they tell us No matter what they do No matter what they teach us What we believe is true
No matter what they call us However they attack No matter where they take us We'll find our own way back I can't deny what I believe I can't be what I'm not

第三篇:谈高中英语听力教学(精选)
谈高中英语听力教学
“听”作为人类言语交际方式之一,在信息剧增、国际交往日益频繁的今天更具有重要意义。英语的听说读写,越来越成为人们学习英语所必须具备的能力。英语教学中对听力的要求日益强化,广大师生都意识到“聋哑英语”的不适用性,因此,英语听力教学逐渐受到了应有的重视。在听力教学的课堂上,我们经常看到这样的情况教师放录音,学生听后做理解练习,教师检查学生的答案正确与否。这看起来更象是在进行听力测验,虽然这种方法对提高学生的听力也会起到一定的作用,但在听力教学的层面上,我们更应注意听力教学的教法和学生的学法指导,使听力教学更为有效。一般来说,高考是中学教学的指挥捧,高考政策和考查内容的变动势必影响教学手段和方式的变化。自2(X)5年起,一些省份的高考取消了英语听力浏试,因此部分学校立即停止了对高三学生的英语听力训练,这也影响了高
一、高二年级的英语听力教学。同时,教育主管部门、学生、家长也不重视听力教学。笔者在本文中分析了这一现状的原因,并提出了应对策略,旨在改变目前这种状况,搞好高中英语听力教学,提高学生的英语听力水平。
第四篇:谈高中英语听力教学方法
谈高中英语听力教学方法
摘 要:英语听力教学一直是课程教学的重要知识点,也是学生掌握较为困难的一项语言项目。究其原因,主要是学生在中学听力基础较为薄弱,对听力的学习技巧和方法缺少一定的理解感悟。正是基于以上的分析,我认为,要想提高高中学生的英语听力水平,不仅要在尊重学生听力个体差异的基础上注重运用多元化的教学策略,而且应该在围绕文本语言学习内容的同时,培养学生的听力理解能力,以此来提高他们的听力能力。
关键词:高中英语、听力教学、方法
能力的培养与强化是课堂教学的关键所在。英语是一门实践性很强的知识学科,只有学以致用,才能使英语成为交流的工具。听、说、读、写四种技能是相互联系、相互作用的统一整体。有专家曾指出,英语教学的听、说、读、写四种活动中,听先于说,说先于写。“听懂会说”是一个人表达思想情感的前提。听说教学是外语教学的核心所在。因此,听力训练应作为英语教学的首要任务。在实际教学中,我认为应从以下几方面入手:
一、从基础入手,充分利用课堂训练听力
英语听力的提高绝非一朝一夕、一蹴而就的事,必须加大训练量,长期不间断地进行精听或者泛听。众所周知,无论是第一语言还是第二语言地学习都离不开输入。新教学大纲指出:“听和读是输入,只有达到足够的输入量,才能保证学生具有较好的听和写的输出能力。”用英语进行听、说、读、写等信息交流离不开一定的社会环境与氛围,也就是语言情境。任何有声语言活动都是在特定情境中进行的,情境作用于人的感官,使人产生交流的动机和使用语言进行交流的心智活动,情境决定语言表达的意义。因此,英语交流离不开语言环境。由于英语并非我们的母语,绝大多数情况下,学生缺乏听说英语的情境。久而久之,学生就不能说,不会说,造就了“哑巴”英语。所以,从英语教学角度来说,向学生提供大量的听力材料,开展以听为主的活动,是扩大学生语言输入的好途径,有助于提高学生的听力水平,对培养语感和提高语言运用能力具有很重要的作用。①教师在课堂上尽可能地使用英语教学。学生由于缺乏自然的英语环境,除课堂45分钟外,很少有机会使用英语,要想提高听力并非易事。所以,充分利用课堂45分钟至关重要。这是对教师的严格要求,主要在于要求教师尽量用英语授课,不用或少用母语,以培养学生用英语思维的能力。在起始阶段,如果学生理解有困难,教师可借助实物、直观教具、手势、眼神、动作、语调,辅助解释所要表达的内容。利用手头拥有的录音机、投影仪、自制卡片、周围环境与人物,让学生充分发挥自己的才能,多讲多练。值得一提的是,教师最好利用英美人士的原声录音,让学生接触地道的英语,跟读时,教师可多放几遍录音,尽量避免教师直接领读。②利用课前5分钟,抓好“热身运动”。多年来,笔者一直坚持利用课前5分钟的时间让学生进行值日表演、对话、演讲或复述课文,并要求其他同学复述值日生所说的内容。学生通过每天的值日报告,既训练了口语,又提高了听力。③利用对话课和阅读课特点,挖掘听力材料。由于这些材料的背景学生比较熟悉,有利于消除学生的过度紧张感,使学生较快地获得一种成功感,从而树立起提高听力、学好英语的信心。
二、引导学生广泛阅读
广泛阅读是学生单词习得的重要途径,也是提高听力的必备基础。教师必须选编或指导学生选读与教材同步、体裁多样的阅读材料,以扩大学生视野。教师要依据因材施教原则,根据学生英语学习综合能力的差异,分层选编不同程度的阅读材料,指导学生课内、课外阅读,鼓励学生多读一些英美文学作品、小小说、笑话、小故事等。阅读的内容由浅入深,循序渐进。初读者可选择情节简单、篇幅较短、生词较少的读物,随着词汇量的逐渐积累和阅读能力的不断提高逐步过渡到阅读英文原版注释读物和原版读物。为了更客观、更深刻地了解异域文化,了解当今不断变化的世界,了解英语语言的最新发展,鼓励学生阅读原著或改写过的原著,了解中国与英语国家在历史背景、文化特色、意识形态、价值观念、思维方式等方面存在的差异。这样既扩大了词汇量,又为提高听力扫清了障碍。
三、抓好听力教学,加强解题技巧的指导
①预读题目及选项内容。在听材料前,学生应抓紧时间,快速浏览题目及选项,捕捉一切可以从题目及选项上获得的信息,并尽可能地预测内容,打有准备之仗。这样就使听力活动成为有目的、有选择的学习活动。②边听边记,强化记忆。听录音时,要养成记录的习惯,特别是对一些数字、人名、地名的摘记,因为这些内容容易过耳就忘。另外,记的时候要学会找窍门,如数字可用阿拉伯数字记,地名、人名可记下个别字母作提示。③忽略不重要的信息。学生在听的过程中要区分主次,区别对待,在了解大意的基础上,把注意力集中在与主题及所提问题有关的内容上,其他信息可以忽略。对于文中出现的生词,无论是否影响全文的理解,都不必深究。另外,学生还要学会根据上下文信息猜测词义。
四、加强学习目的教育,培养学生学习英语的积极性
掌握一门外语就是掌握一项技能,要想熟练地掌握这项技能,光靠教师的努力是远远不够的,学生必须要有学好英语的欲望,要弄清为什么学习英语。教师从高一新生入学的那天起,就要让学生弄明白学习英语的重要性。教师可以通过多种方式阐明学习英语的意义。可以给学生看一些用英语写的信件、产品说明书、明信片、英文杂志和一些英文对白的电视等以及向学生介绍一些出国留学所要通过的托福、GRE等英语考试,激发学生的求知欲望,确立学习英语的目标。学生懂得了学习英语的重要性,就会把学习英语当做社会的需要和自己的需要。在这种需要的驱使下,学生就会努力地去学习,而且他们也会自觉地培养学习英语的兴趣,有目的、有计划地学习。所以说,动机是学习语言必不可少的条件。学生明确了学习英语的意义,就有了学习的动力。有了这种动力,学生就能扎扎实实地去学,想方设法地学好英语。要想学好英语,就必须多听、多说,听力好,不仅仅是为了应付考试,更重要的是为说、读、写打下基础,从而提高英语水平。
总之,高中学生英语听力水平的提升是一个长期的过程,是听、说、读、写的重要部分,教师要将充分结合起来,作为教学的整体目标,积极探索科学合理的教学方法,提升学生的英语综合水平。
第五篇:谈英语听力的培养
谈英语听力的培养
中学生学习英语首先就应当从听入手,英语听力对学习英语至关重要。“听力”英文为Listeningcomprehension,即听有声语言,并对其理解的能力。正如RiversTemperty所说:“听,是人们根据自己所了解的语言知识、语义和语法三方面的潜力,从语流中获得信息的积极活动。”
根据上
述观点,我们可以将听力理解为:获得有声信息的活动能力,也可以说是一种交际能力。这种能力的强与弱,除了决定人们对语言知识本身的了解外,还决定人们对语言背景文化知识的占有能力。很难想象一个对语言背景文化一无所知的人,能够具备良好的听力。中学英语教学大纲中把听说教学放在教学法的首位,强调听说英语是英语教学的重要目的之一。
从语言角度来看,语言本身首先是有声语言。没有听,就没有说,语言的交流也就无从谈起。因而,听力在语言学当中有其特殊的作用。听,是语言的基础;听力,是语言学习的前提。
从心理学的研究来看,在相等时间内,听到的信息量比读到的信息量要大得多;而听到的信息转化为感性知识比读到的信息转化为感性知识的速度要快得多;听到的信息往往比读到的信息更生动,印入脑海的烙印更深刻,不易遗忘;同时,还能有效地培养语感。
从中学生学习英语的心理特点看,中学生年少好胜,善于模仿,听觉灵敏,活泼喜动。如果能注意培养他们的听力,在情趣盎然的气氛中加强听力训练,必将取得事半功倍的效果。
听力主要由两个部分构成。即迅速正确地辨音解义的能力、理解语言内涵的能力,亦称“文化悟力”。这两种能力表现在中学英语课堂上,即为识记教师发出的语音形式,准确地辨析词义,然后从词义、句义到文章中心大意,迅速辨析、思索、组合、归纳,并从中悟出讲话内容的中心所在。这种能力除指对语言知识本身的理解能力外,还应包含对有关文化知识的理解和占有能力,包括经济、文化、天文、地理、历史以及简单的科普知识等等。对这些知识的占有与理解无疑会提高对所听到信息的理解程度,从而使悟出的语义更深刻,更准确。
那么,怎样培养学生听力呢?
培养听力,首先要突破听力障碍,掌握“听”的基本技能。学生或一般英语学习者在英语听力训练中存在的听力障碍主要有四个:①语音障碍②语义障碍③心理障碍④文化悟力障碍。听力的语音障碍,为这四种障碍之首。英语学习者应下决心攻破它,然后向更高层次迈进。
一、突破语音障碍,掌握听力基本技能
掌握听力基本技能,首先应突破语音知识关。英语语音知识主要包括六个方面的内容:不完全爆破、意群、连续、音的同化与失音、句子重音及语调。其次还应掌握英音与美音的差别。
突破语音知识关的办法是:认真听,注意模仿,用心记忆,并跟老师或录音机进行纠正,坚持反复训练和检测。请看下面各项检测题:
1.请朗读下面每组词,注意失去爆破的现象:
①talk,dare,don't
②conductor,strict,shortcoming,programme,picture,thankful
③makemodelplane
2.朗读下面的句子,注意失去爆破的现象:
①Goandlookforitinyourownroom.
②Katedoesn'tsingwel,butshedanceswel.
③Shehaslunchatthefactory.
④Goodmorning,boysandgirls!
⑤Hecougheddayandnight.
3.朗读下列句子,注意意群间的停顿:
①Everyoneinthetown,knewhim/sowehadnotroubleinfindinghishouse.
②Butthemostinterestingthing/aboutthisre-markableplan/iswhatpeopledowithit/afteritiscutdown.
③ThefolowingistakenfromDr.Manete'sac-countofhismeetingwiththeboy/andofwhattheboytoldhim.
④Histheorywassoadvanced/thatfewpeoplecouldunderstandit/atthattime/andevenfewer/wouldacceptit.
⑤Theordinaryschool/cannotgivemuchpracti-caltraininginli
ving,/becausemostofthestudents'time/isspentinclasses,/studyinglessons.
4.朗读下列短语和句子,注意连读现象:
①getup,wakeup,alkindsof,alovertheworld,anEnglishfilm,inanhour,takecareof,gointoashop,buymeanewone,nexttoit
②Usualyatthebeginningofschoolthenoiseofdesksbeingopenedandclosedandlessonsrepeatedatthetopofthechildren'svoicescouldbeheardoutinthestreet.
5.朗读下列句子,注意句子重音:
①′Chinaisa′countrywitha′long′history.
②Thereare′fifty′studentsinour′class.
③Ican′skateon′real′ice.
④′Heand′Iare′both′students.
⑤Sheis′talerthan′you.
⑥′Iam′goingto′skate′this′afternoon.
⑦′This′classroomis′ours.Itis′bigand′bright.
⑧I′myself′workedout′thismaths′problem.
⑨I′ama′teacherof′English.
10.He′doesn′tlike′swimmingin′summer.
6.朗读下列句子,注意句子语调:
①HaveyoueverbeentoLondon?
②Youareastudent,aren'tyou?
③Ibegyourpardon?
④Seeyoutomorow!
⑤Goodmorning!
⑥Don′tyouknowI′moneofyou?
⑦Long,longagotherelivedakinginEurope.
⑧Where′sJack?
⑨Don′tsmokehere!
10.Whatabraveboyheis!
二、突破语义障碍,增强语义能力
语义指在倾听语言的过程中,人们根据所占有的语言知识、文化背景知识,以及母语知识,充分利用想象、推测、猜测、预测、记忆、综合、归纳、分析及概括能力,积极思维,进而理解通篇语言内在含义的过程。由此可以得出结论,悟义能力是一种听的综合能力,这种能力决定着听力的水平。悟义能力的核心是预测能力——根据上下文想象、猜测、推断文字及其内在含义的基本功。例如,听到文章的题目可以判定文章的体裁;听到开头几句话可以得知文章的背景和叙述范围;从第一段的叙述中可以推断其后面情节发展的大致脉络。这种能力的培养应该在实践中不断地进行。
三、突破心理障碍,提高心理承受能力
突破心理障碍要注意三点:
(1)训练听力要遵循循序渐进、由浅入深的原则。听力训练要注意遵循科学的训练方法,适时选材十分重要。所选的材料要体现由浅入深、循序渐进的规律,即由词的训练到句的训练,再到文章的训练。更高的层次,还可以收听电视的新闻广播。
(2)听力训练的过程就是练功夫的过程。练功夫除了需要科学的方法外,还应具有持之以恒的精神,不能指望一朝一夕就能获得成功。
(3)有的放矢地制订阶段听力训练计划,特别是制订出克服各种困难的针对性练习方案,在心理上有足够的准备,满怀信心,不至于在遇到困难时手足无措。
四、突破文化悟力障碍,加深理解能力
文化悟力是指对语言文化背景的占有和理解能力。作为学生的文化悟力范围是指所学习的各学科知识,以及在课外获得的社会科学知识和自然科学知识及其对这些知识的理解能力。只有突破文化悟力障碍,才能加深对所听内容的理解能力。
