淺談農(nóng)村中學(xué)英語聽力教學(xué)
XXXX中學(xué)
XXX 摘要:外語教學(xué)的目的是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生通過外語獲取信息。聽力教學(xué)是獲取信息最重要、最初始的環(huán)節(jié)。根據(jù)第二語言習(xí)得理論,語言的輸入是語言習(xí)得最基本的條件,聽力作為一種輸入型技能在學(xué)生的語言習(xí)得中占有十分重要的地位。聽是語言交際中最基本的形式之一,也是語言學(xué)習(xí)過程中最初的感知細(xì)節(jié)。英語聽力困難是學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)和實踐中存在的一種普遍現(xiàn)象。尤其對農(nóng)村中學(xué)生來說,做好英語聽力是非常困難的一個環(huán)節(jié)。目前,小學(xué)英語考試中也有聽力題,且其占據(jù)比較大的比例。無疑,英語課堂教學(xué)中的聽力教學(xué)就顯得尤為重要。如何幫助學(xué)生排除聽力障礙,掌握聽力技巧,提高英語聽力水平是我們中學(xué)英語老師著力探討的問題之一。
關(guān)鍵詞:教學(xué)、英語聽力、語音語調(diào)、農(nóng)村、因素、中學(xué)生、連讀
隨著中國改革開放的力度進(jìn)一步加大,對外交往逐漸增多,英語的使用越來越廣泛,中學(xué)生英語聽說表達(dá)能力就顯得越來越重要。目前,在新課標(biāo)的改革下,讓學(xué)生盡情說英語得到了大力提倡。英語課堂上的師生互動,分角色表演對話,齊聲朗讀等讓學(xué)生們的英語口語得到很大的提高。相比之下,聽力教學(xué)就顯得略遜一籌。英語聽力是聽懂以英語為媒介所進(jìn)行的口頭交際活動能力。在日常教學(xué)研究中,正確地分析和研究學(xué)生聽力困難的因素有利于指導(dǎo)我們的英語教學(xué)。
造成農(nóng)村中學(xué)生英語聽力困難的因素主要有以下三點:
一、環(huán)境因素
農(nóng)村中學(xué)里,學(xué)生一直使用本地方言交流。甚至,有些老師也是用方言進(jìn)行教學(xué)。語言的局限性制約著學(xué)生的英語聽力水平。學(xué)生習(xí)慣把聽到的英語機(jī)械地翻譯成漢語來理解,有的甚至還要再將漢語轉(zhuǎn)換成本土方言去理解。這種不良的習(xí)慣不僅阻礙學(xué)生的聽力理解速度,而且一旦遇到到不懂的單詞或聽不清楚某一詞時,就令他們束手無策。另外,農(nóng)村的教學(xué)設(shè)備設(shè)施落后,學(xué)生的知識面狹窄等外部因素都影響著學(xué)生的英語聽力。
二、心理因素
由于中學(xué)英語聽力的分?jǐn)?shù)只占總分的25%,比重不算很大,而且全部都是選擇題,許多學(xué)生認(rèn)為聽不出來時,憑主觀猜測,說不定也能做對幾題。學(xué)生心存(),不重視聽力訓(xùn)練,聽力就越來越難。隨之,他們也越來越害怕聽力。這種不重視的心理因素直接影響了學(xué)生的英語聽力水平。
三、教學(xué)因素 現(xiàn)在農(nóng)村學(xué)生也從小學(xué)三年級開始學(xué)英語。小學(xué)英語教學(xué)要求比較低,學(xué)生能讀會寫即可。而教師隊伍良莠不齊,教師不規(guī)范的教學(xué),令學(xué)生的語音語調(diào)不標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。再且,真人讀音與錄音本來就有一定的區(qū)別。這也使學(xué)生難辨,摸不著頭腦。這種因素令學(xué)生缺乏自信,難以提高聽力水平。
還有許多其他的大大小小因素阻礙著農(nóng)村中學(xué)生英語聽力水平的提高。那么,如何才能提高農(nóng)村中學(xué)生的英語聽力水平呢?以下是幾點建議:
第一,做英語聽力時,不管是考試時還是平時的聽力訓(xùn)練,首先要做到“兩耳不聞窗外事,一心只聽錄音機(jī)”。學(xué)生的精神高度集中對聽錄音時獲取重要信息是非常重要。因為關(guān)鍵信息稍縱即逝,聽過的話也如潑出去的水,不能再回頭。例如,本學(xué)期的初三英語聽力1至5題改成了聽對話選相應(yīng)的圖片。形式如小學(xué)英語聽力一樣。但是學(xué)生卻認(rèn)為題型變難了。因為對話只聽一遍。錯過了,就只能猜答案了。所以,全神貫注的精神是必要的。
第二,在平時的教學(xué)中,注意突破學(xué)生的語音障礙。掌握聽力基本技能,首先要掌握音標(biāo)和語音知識。音標(biāo)是學(xué)生能否掌握單詞拼讀和記憶的關(guān)鍵。為此,本人重新教讀音標(biāo)。并且,在每次學(xué)習(xí)新單詞時,教學(xué)生們看音標(biāo)拼讀單詞。久而久之,許多學(xué)生不但鞏固了音標(biāo),慢慢地也學(xué)會了看音標(biāo)讀單詞。英語語音知識包括不完全爆破、意群、連讀、音的同化與失音、句子重音及語調(diào)等。關(guān)于語音知識方面,本人在分析課文對話或朗讀課文時,灌輸學(xué)生一些關(guān)于連讀、不完全爆破、失音、重音等語音知識。并提醒學(xué)生標(biāo)記出一些例句。這樣使學(xué)生腦海里有這方面的意識,提高他們的聽力理解能力。
第三,英語口語與英語聽力是相互促進(jìn)的。教師應(yīng)抓住其中關(guān)系,訓(xùn)練就能一舉兩得。例如,教師不但要要求學(xué)生背誦課文,還要求默寫課文。而背誦的對話可分角色背誦。要求學(xué)生模仿錄音的語音語調(diào),假設(shè)課文的情景。課余時間先在老師面前背出來,講新課前就在班上表演出來。這樣可謂一石三鳥,不僅訓(xùn)練了口語,而且掌握了語音語調(diào),又勞勞記住了重點句子。至于默寫也是學(xué)生抽空到老師面前默寫的。默寫就加深了背誦的記憶,又記住了單詞。對于一些難記單詞,教師教給他們一些方法技巧,提醒用音標(biāo)記憶法或者其他加詞綴或變詞性的方法等等。
第四,進(jìn)行專門的英語聽力訓(xùn)練。找一些英語聽力題,老師在課堂上教導(dǎo)學(xué)生完成聽力的全過程。以聽選信息題為例。先讓學(xué)生快速閱讀各個問題及選項。時間到,放錄音,令學(xué)生快速寫下他們自己的答案。比較難的錄音可以播放兩次。接著教師再重新一句一句放錄音,并解析每句的大概意思。也可提問學(xué)生,讓他們說說自己的理解,糾正他們理解錯誤的地方。然后指出答案所在句子。并分析獲取正確答案的關(guān)鍵詞或句子。提醒學(xué)生一些關(guān)于干擾聽力的多余信息或者容易聽錯和理解錯誤的地方。指出一些連讀,重讀等包含語音知識的句子。最后,再聽一遍讓學(xué)生梳理信息,清晰頭腦。這樣學(xué)生能漸漸地接受英語氛圍中的交流。
總而言之,要想提高農(nóng)村中學(xué)生的英語聽力水平,不是一蹴而就的事情。作為英語教師,應(yīng)該多點進(jìn)行聽力訓(xùn)練。在平時的教學(xué)中,也應(yīng)注意教授一些語音知識,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的英語語感,養(yǎng)成良好的聽力學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣。在日積月累的多聽多練中,農(nóng)村中學(xué)生學(xué)生的英語聽力水平一定能更上一層樓!

學(xué)情分析
教材分析
一、(一)農(nóng)村初中英語學(xué)情分析
學(xué)生方面
多數(shù)學(xué)生來農(nóng)村,受農(nóng)村教學(xué)條件、師資、管理的影響生源素質(zhì)低,學(xué)生在小學(xué)階段基本尚失學(xué)習(xí)興趣,基本沒有良好學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣,基本沒有學(xué)習(xí)自覺性和能力。對多數(shù)農(nóng)村學(xué)生來講,學(xué)習(xí)英語不是為了用它交談,寫作,只簡單的應(yīng)付畢業(yè)考試,有的學(xué)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(xué)儀器和手段,大多教師都憑一個錄音機(jī)和一塊小黑板授課,難以突出教材主題,創(chuàng)造語言環(huán)境,更無法調(diào)動學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)積極性, 在這種學(xué)情下及格都成了問題,厭學(xué)傾向十分嚴(yán)重,學(xué)生英語學(xué)習(xí)成績差,英語聽力成績更差。
在英語聽力方面,學(xué)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(yù)測,英語聽力很受地方語言的影響,經(jīng)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(nèi)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(shù)幾個單詞。但關(guān)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(xí)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(xí)慣,很少有英語聽力策略或者技巧。學(xué)生的聽力實踐往往比較缺乏,通常只在英語課堂上進(jìn)行,學(xué)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(xí)題或教師提問來檢查的。
教師方面:
農(nóng)村中學(xué)英語專職教師缺乏,英語教學(xué)理論知識薄弱,英語能力和水平有限,英語教學(xué)內(nèi)容和教法單一陳舊。由于大多數(shù)農(nóng)村中學(xué)缺乏現(xiàn)代電教設(shè)備,在聽力教學(xué)中,英語老師只靠一部錄音機(jī),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(wǎng)絡(luò)資源。
教材方面:
不太適應(yīng)農(nóng)村學(xué)校的教學(xué)實際。人教社出版的英語新教材“Go For It”在城市學(xué)校使用可能是一部很不錯的教材,但對于大多數(shù)小學(xué)未開英語課的農(nóng)村學(xué)校來說還是難度太大。語言能力較低的學(xué)生遇上高起點、高難度的教材,不利于農(nóng)村英語學(xué)生英語學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)的的達(dá)成,英語能力的形成和提高。
二、農(nóng)村中學(xué)學(xué)生聽力普遍差的原因
學(xué)生自身素質(zhì)不高:
1.學(xué)生對英語學(xué)習(xí)和英語聽力的重視不夠:
相對城市中小學(xué)生,農(nóng)村學(xué)生在教育資源上相對缺乏,這種缺乏不僅表現(xiàn)在教育硬件上的缺乏,也表現(xiàn)在教育 “軟件”上的缺乏。
很多農(nóng)村家長自身素質(zhì)不高,對對子女的教育和學(xué)習(xí)不夠重視,往往不能很好地配合學(xué)校和老師對學(xué)生進(jìn)行教育,更不用說占很大比例的農(nóng)村留守兒童。很多農(nóng)村學(xué)生認(rèn)為學(xué)英語沒有很大用處。農(nóng)村兒童相對于城市兒童學(xué)習(xí)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(xué)生們連母語都不愿意學(xué),更別提要把英語學(xué)好.尤其是聽力知識。
1.發(fā)音不準(zhǔn),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(guān)重要的。然而部分學(xué) 生對英語標(biāo)準(zhǔn)發(fā)音掌握不好,或者他們自身的英語發(fā)音與標(biāo)準(zhǔn)發(fā)音差距甚大。平時由于聽的少,訓(xùn)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(diào)等語音、語調(diào)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(jīng)學(xué)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?zāi)芰θ?。有時候?qū)W生對平時能正確發(fā)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(xué)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(diào) 的升降都會導(dǎo)致在連貫語流中語音的發(fā)音變化。學(xué)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(chǎn)生誤解。
3.詞義的語境判斷差。大多數(shù)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(yīng)根據(jù)上下文來決定。而學(xué)生往往只根據(jù)自己所熟悉的詞義判斷。
4.猜字的技能技巧低。在聽力中,學(xué)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(jù)上下文內(nèi)容去進(jìn)行聯(lián)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(yè)的人說英語。英國音與美國 音在發(fā)音上的較大不同會使學(xué)生無法較好地進(jìn)行分辨。因此一些極普通的常用詞在學(xué)生聽起來就成了陌生的不熟悉的詞,結(jié)果影響了對全篇聽力材料的理解。
6.母語和方言負(fù)遷移。學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語發(fā)音的時候很容易受方言的影響,把方言強(qiáng)調(diào)帶入英語發(fā)音中去,比如在寧遠(yuǎn)方言中:/l/ 和/n/就不分,所以light 和night學(xué)生也是區(qū)分不出來的。而更多的問題是學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語發(fā)音的時候,會出現(xiàn)母語負(fù)遷移,用漢語拼音或是漢字去注解幫助學(xué)習(xí)英語發(fā)音,如 “English”(應(yīng)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(yīng)速度。
7.主要內(nèi)容抓不住。只要聽懂中心內(nèi)容,就能理解領(lǐng)會全文。但部分學(xué)生不善于在聽時抓主要內(nèi)容。不能通過對各個局部的理解快速找到上下文間的聯(lián)系。8.重要細(xì)節(jié)捕不牢。聽力不僅要求學(xué)生聽懂材料的主要內(nèi)容和中心思想,而且要求學(xué)生聽懂能說明主 題的重要細(xì)節(jié)。對于那些影響整篇材料的重要細(xì)節(jié)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(shù)字等。學(xué)生在聽的過程中往往忽視對以上重要細(xì)節(jié)的記憶與分辨。9.沒有形成好的習(xí)慣。如在聽的時候做筆記。
10.語法、習(xí)語不扎實。部分學(xué)生沒有扎實的語法功底與習(xí)語積累,所以在聽時或概念模糊或錯誤理解句子的語法結(jié)構(gòu)而誤解句子的實意。
11.背景知識太狹窄。聽力材料內(nèi)容廣泛,涉及天文、地理、人物、歷史、科
2010-8-15
技、文藝、教育、醫(yī)學(xué)、體育等諸多領(lǐng)域。由于學(xué)生知識面太狹窄,缺乏對英語國家的風(fēng)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(jìn)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(xué)生就會很緊張、焦慮,因而影響整個聽力任務(wù)的完成。一
1.2來自農(nóng)村教師的影響
當(dāng)前我國農(nóng)村中學(xué)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??苹虮究莆膽{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(xué)用語之外,甚至很少用英語上課。據(jù)調(diào)查,目前全國中小學(xué)還聘用了幾十萬代課教師,這其中就包括很大一部分農(nóng)村中學(xué)英語代課教師??梢哉f,在整體上,我國農(nóng)村中學(xué)英語教師還遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)沒有達(dá)到
教師專業(yè)化的要求,從而導(dǎo)致他們在教學(xué)中存在很多問題,就影響聽力方面而言,主要體現(xiàn)在:
1.教師除了讀課文及一些常用的課堂教學(xué)用語之外,甚至很少用英語上課。因為在英語課堂上,學(xué)生聽不懂就會要求老師用中文解釋,這些老師考慮到學(xué)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(xué)生接觸英語語言環(huán)境的機(jī)會就更少。這就要求我們教師平時上課時也應(yīng)盡量用地道的英語來授課,以便讓學(xué)生在獲得知識的同時,提高聽力水平。
1.語音、語調(diào)水平低。一些教師語音不準(zhǔn),發(fā)音部位都弄不準(zhǔn),因而讀單詞時含糊不清,弄得學(xué)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(fā)音方法,更是顯得平乏、呆板、不連貫。結(jié)果很容易導(dǎo)致學(xué)生語感差,難以聽懂真正純正地道的英語。
2.強(qiáng)調(diào)“應(yīng)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(xué)英語教學(xué)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(xiāng)或全縣舉行的期中、期末統(tǒng)一考試中取得好成績,他們只注重英語語法的教學(xué),要求學(xué)生多做相關(guān)練習(xí),加強(qiáng)學(xué)生對單詞的“死記硬背”。這種所謂的“啞巴”式英語教育教學(xué)模式,很容易造成教師忽視對學(xué)生英語綜合2010-8-15
素質(zhì)的培養(yǎng);造成教師把聽力視為可有可無的東西,從而使學(xué)生的聽力訓(xùn)練缺乏針對性、長期性、全面性。
3.缺乏對學(xué)生進(jìn)行英語閱讀指導(dǎo)。在當(dāng)前黨和國家大力倡導(dǎo)為農(nóng)民“減負(fù)”,為學(xué)生“減負(fù)”的形勢下,學(xué)校幾乎沒有為學(xué)生訂購一些專門用來擴(kuò)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(dǎo)學(xué)生如何進(jìn)行閱讀,如何提高英語閱讀速度。這使農(nóng)村中學(xué)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(xué)生進(jìn)行聽力技巧的指導(dǎo)。眾所周知,由于我國以前的教育教學(xué)質(zhì)量以及教學(xué)設(shè)備都相對較差。因此,大多數(shù)的中學(xué)農(nóng)村英語教師在他們自己讀書期間,就很少甚至沒有進(jìn)行過專門的英語聽力訓(xùn)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?qū)W生介紹一些最基本的方法外,也就無法更進(jìn)一步指導(dǎo)學(xué)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(xiàn)代教育學(xué)、心理學(xué)、教育技術(shù)學(xué)、語言學(xué)、英語教學(xué)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(xué)尋找到充分的理論支撐,有時還會采用錯誤的教學(xué)策略。面對這種狀況,省市經(jīng)常會對城市中學(xué)的老師進(jìn)行各種各樣的培訓(xùn),以便更好的提高他們的業(yè)務(wù)能力。而這些培訓(xùn)由于種種原因大部分的鄉(xiāng)村中學(xué)老師得不到培訓(xùn)和提高。農(nóng)村教師教學(xué)內(nèi)容和教學(xué)方法單一。由于農(nóng)村中學(xué)缺乏英語教學(xué)的電教設(shè)備,農(nóng)村教師用的聽力內(nèi)容多為磁帶,很少有甚至幾乎不用與視聽說相結(jié)合的材料,如原版電影,用于教學(xué)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(xí)的形式,使教師成了播放錄音機(jī)的機(jī)器,無所作為,而學(xué)生的主體作用得不到發(fā)揮。在這樣的聽力課堂中,學(xué)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(xiàn)。上聽力課時,教師考慮學(xué)生聽力較差就讓學(xué)生邊聽邊看本文。聽就是聽,但在聽的時候看文字材料,學(xué)生一旦形成習(xí)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(yǎng)聽的技能只能起阻礙作用。英國教學(xué)法專

1.3農(nóng)村學(xué)校的教學(xué)設(shè)施困乏
很多農(nóng)村學(xué)校英語教學(xué)設(shè)備還僅僅只有錄音機(jī),更別說多媒體教學(xué)儀器和語音室了。有的地方還是幾個老師共用一臺錄音機(jī)的。教室里的插座也經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)問題,又不能及時維修.就連僅有的一臺破舊的錄音機(jī)也是很少能及時派上用場,嚴(yán)重影響聽力教學(xué)。

農(nóng)村中學(xué)英語聽力教學(xué)中存在的問題及對策
【摘 要】素質(zhì)教育要求改變中國“啞巴英語”的英語教學(xué)現(xiàn)狀,以便能真正實現(xiàn)為交際運(yùn)用而學(xué)的目的。盡管英語的重要性日益突出,但英語教育的建設(shè)尚不能滿足我國經(jīng)濟(jì)建設(shè)和社會發(fā)展的需要。尤其是農(nóng)村中學(xué)的英語聽力教學(xué),仍然是一個十分薄弱的環(huán)節(jié)。

英語聽力(listening comprehension)即獲得有聲信息的活動能力,同時也是一種交際能力。在英語四項技能中,它對英語學(xué)習(xí)至關(guān)重要。在一般語言活動中,聽占45%,說占30%,讀占16%,寫占9%。正如River Temerley所說:“聽,是人們根據(jù)自己所了解的語言知識、予語義和語法三方面的潛力,從語流中獲得信息的積極活動”,聽是交際活動中實用最廣泛的方式。
二、農(nóng)村中學(xué)學(xué)生聽力普遍差的原因
1.客觀原因
(1)訓(xùn)練方式方法不當(dāng)。對學(xué)生的聽力訓(xùn)練并未在農(nóng)村中學(xué)英語教學(xué)中得到足夠的重視。教學(xué)配套設(shè)施不到位,學(xué)校并未開設(shè)專門的聽力課;更沒有英語語音室。教師上課只靠粉筆、課本和一張嘴。這些因素直接或間接地影響了初中學(xué)生英語聽力的提高,滯后了英語聽力教學(xué)的順利發(fā)展。
(2)對英語文化背景知識了解不夠。聽力內(nèi)容涵蓋社會的各個方面,涉及天文、地理、歷史、科技、教育、醫(yī)學(xué)等諸多領(lǐng)域。學(xué)生往往在缺乏了解的情況下根據(jù)自己的文化背景去理解,因而造成一知半解,甚至是其完全錯誤的結(jié)果。所以往往聽完一篇材料后對其內(nèi)容一知半解,甚至不知所云,結(jié)果影響了理解。
(3)在應(yīng)試教育環(huán)境下,各校攀比考分直接影響了教師對英語聽力教學(xué)的研究。教師無暇顧及學(xué)生聽力提高的系統(tǒng)研究,只是走馬觀花,應(yīng)付聽力考試。在訓(xùn)練學(xué)生聽力時,不管哪個年級,都采用與中考一致的聽力對話和短文形式,而忽略了英語聽力循序漸進(jìn)的訓(xùn)練原則,致使訓(xùn)練沒有達(dá)到應(yīng)有的效果。
2.主觀原因
(1)語音的辨別能力差。部分學(xué)生對英語標(biāo)準(zhǔn)發(fā)音掌握不好,或者他們自身的英語發(fā)音與標(biāo)準(zhǔn)發(fā)音差距甚大。在聽的過程中,錯誤的語音對聽力在很大程度上產(chǎn)生誤導(dǎo)作用。有時即使聽到了已經(jīng)學(xué)過的詞,也會誤聽為其它詞而作出錯誤判斷,在理解上步入岐途。對詞在句中朗讀時的弱讀、重讀、連讀、語氣的變化、語調(diào)的升降也掌握不好,從而影響對全局的理解。對不同國家、地域、年齡、職業(yè)的人說英語的方式,學(xué)生無法較好地進(jìn)行分辨。因此一些極普通的常用詞在學(xué)生聽起來就成了陌生的不熟悉的詞,結(jié)果影響了對全篇聽力材料的理解。
(2)主要內(nèi)容抓不住。在聽的過程中,要每個詞都聽懂,對大部分學(xué)生來說是不大可能的。只要聽懂中心內(nèi)容,就能理解領(lǐng)會全文。但部分學(xué)生不善于在聽時抓主要內(nèi)容,他們只根據(jù)材料中的只言片語就斷章取義地進(jìn)行理解,不能通過對各個局部的理解快速找到上下文之間的聯(lián)系,結(jié)果對整段內(nèi)容產(chǎn)生片面的理解,得出錯誤的結(jié)論。
(3)重要細(xì)節(jié)捕不牢。聽力不僅要求學(xué)生聽懂材料的主要內(nèi)容和中心思想,而且要求學(xué)生聽懂能說明主題的重要細(xì)節(jié)。對于那些影響整篇材料的重要細(xì)節(jié)更必須弄清楚,因為它們有助于對整篇材料的理解。學(xué)生在聽的過程中,詞義的語境判斷差、猜字的技能技巧低、主要內(nèi)容抓不住,重要細(xì)節(jié)也捕不牢,結(jié)果對與重大細(xì)節(jié)有關(guān)的選擇題難以下手。
(4)學(xué)生心理素質(zhì)欠佳。聽力材料轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝,無法像閱讀材料那樣進(jìn)行反復(fù)讀。當(dāng)學(xué)生處于不自信、心理狀態(tài)不良時或語速快、背景噪音干擾的聽力材料時,學(xué)生往往表現(xiàn)出焦慮和緊張。與此同時,他們有時會把聽力的難度想象地過大,找不到突破口,在心理上排斥所要聽的內(nèi)容,從而影響聽力材料的正確理解。
三、農(nóng)村中學(xué)英語聽力教學(xué)中存在的問題的對策
1.過好語音關(guān),進(jìn)行聽力專門訓(xùn)練
掌握良好的語音知識是提高聽力理解的基礎(chǔ)。學(xué)好音標(biāo)自然是學(xué)好英語的前提條件。農(nóng)村高中學(xué)生在初中普遍沒有系統(tǒng)地真正掌握好國際音標(biāo),許多學(xué)生將元音中的[au]讀作漢語拼音中[ou],[e]讀作[ i ];輔音中[ e ]、[θ ]音弄混等等,加上地方口音的影響及課堂上學(xué)生無聽力條件,故而學(xué)生的聽力存在的問題突出。
針對學(xué)生發(fā)音不準(zhǔn)的實際情況,要強(qiáng)化語音的基本訓(xùn)練,集中進(jìn)行音素練習(xí)、單詞中的長短元音、輔音、輔音連綴等辨音練習(xí);講解有關(guān)連讀、失去爆破、弱讀和語調(diào)等的一些語音規(guī)則,要讓學(xué)生多進(jìn)行辨別語音、語調(diào),單詞重音及語句重音等語音知識的練習(xí),消除語音上的障礙。熟悉美式英語與英式英語的發(fā)音特點。在此基礎(chǔ)上一周用一節(jié)課專門進(jìn)行聽說練習(xí)。具體做法是:可根據(jù)學(xué)生中發(fā)音的共同難點、重點進(jìn)行練習(xí),可讓學(xué)生將個人簡介或小幽默等錄下來,在課堂上放聽,聽后指出問題所在。還可以引導(dǎo)學(xué)生跟讀、模仿,注意英語中特殊的發(fā)音現(xiàn)象,使他們逐漸熟悉英語的發(fā)音規(guī)律,不斷培養(yǎng)語感,克服來自母語的干擾,從而有效地提高聽力。
2.聽說相結(jié)合
聽與說是不可分割的整體。教師在課堂上要盡可能地說英語,循序漸進(jìn),逐步增加。還要鼓勵學(xué)生大膽地張口說,即使說不好,甚至錯誤,也不能全盤否定。要在肯定其參與的前提下,幫助糾正錯誤,努力營造輕松愉悅的學(xué)習(xí)氛圍,激發(fā)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的熱情,促進(jìn)聽、說能力的提高。還可把說英語與日常學(xué)習(xí)相結(jié)合。
3.聽讀相結(jié)合
對文字材料邊聽邊讀有助于增強(qiáng)語感,識別語流。聽堵截和能使詞句的音、形、意在記憶中迅速統(tǒng)一,減少判斷誤差??梢髮W(xué)生養(yǎng)成每天半小時邊聽邊朗讀的習(xí)慣,開始可以看著文字材料跟讀,然后不看文字材料跟讀,最后達(dá)到憑借語感獨立與錄音同步朗讀。另外要擴(kuò)大閱讀,書讀得越多,詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)率就越高,對常用詞語就會越熟悉。在聽時就可以免去英譯漢的過程,直接領(lǐng)會聽力材料內(nèi)容。閱讀速度的提高還能促進(jìn)思維節(jié)奏的加快,在做聽力時能跟上正常的語速。同時,不同內(nèi)容的閱讀還能豐富學(xué)生的知識、培養(yǎng)語感、了解英美文化及文章結(jié)構(gòu),弄清它們的思維方式,從而促進(jìn)聽力水平的提高。
4.聽寫相結(jié)合
聽寫練習(xí)是提高學(xué)生英語水平的必不可少的環(huán)節(jié)。學(xué)生聽寫時需要高度集中注意力,調(diào)動其所有語言知識。在聽寫過程中,學(xué)生直接理解,直接記憶,才能把所聽到的內(nèi)容完整的記錄下來。聽寫訓(xùn)練起步時可以寫些基本的詞語和簡單句型,進(jìn)而聽寫課文的部分內(nèi)容,最后聽寫與課文難度相當(dāng)?shù)奈淖植牧?。?dāng)一個學(xué)生能較好地寫下他所聽到的內(nèi)容時,則證明他對文字的理解已不成問題。

摘要
隨著新課程的推進(jìn)和深入,各個學(xué)科都在加強(qiáng)對學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)能力的培養(yǎng),強(qiáng)調(diào)實踐與創(chuàng)新和學(xué)生主體和教師主導(dǎo)的教學(xué)模式.人民教育出版社和英國朗文 出版集團(tuán)有限公司合作編寫的義務(wù)教育初中英語系列教材,是課程教材改革的產(chǎn)物,教材的 聽力訓(xùn)練成為中學(xué)乃至小學(xué)的英語教學(xué)內(nèi)容,在農(nóng)村初中有限的條件下怎樣訓(xùn)練學(xué)生的聽力便成了值得討論的問題
關(guān)鍵詞
農(nóng)村 初中 聽力 教學(xué)
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(xué)習(xí)只要求達(dá)到不同的分級目標(biāo),九年級(現(xiàn)初三)要求達(dá)到五級,這有效的解決了各地英語教育發(fā)展的不平衡的矛盾,有利于因材施教,由于受到農(nóng)村教學(xué)條件的限制,利用好現(xiàn)有設(shè)備,盡量體現(xiàn)新教材精神,達(dá)到新教材設(shè)計目的,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的英語學(xué)習(xí)興趣是擺在廣大農(nóng)村初中英語教師面前的重要課題.我認(rèn)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(nóng)村初中英語學(xué)情分析
對多數(shù)農(nóng)村學(xué)生來講,學(xué)習(xí)英語不是為了用它交談,寫作,只簡單的應(yīng)付畢業(yè) 考試,有的學(xué)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(xué)儀器和手段,大多教師都憑一個錄音機(jī)和一塊小黑板授課,難以突出教材主題,創(chuàng)造教學(xué)情景,更無法調(diào)動學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)積極性, 在這種學(xué)情下我校初二年級一個快班52名學(xué)生,及格以上的只有25 名;而慢班更慘,無人及格,學(xué)生厭學(xué)傾向十分嚴(yán)重。
而對于優(yōu)秀學(xué)生來說,他們畢竟要升學(xué),需要進(jìn)一步提高聽、說、讀、寫的能力來適應(yīng)高中的學(xué)習(xí)。農(nóng)村優(yōu)秀學(xué)生上高中后的普遍現(xiàn)象就是難以適應(yīng)高中英語教學(xué),高中老師的全英文授課讓他們?nèi)鐗嬱F中,嚴(yán)重影響英語學(xué)習(xí),甚至一蹶不振,對自己多年的英語學(xué)習(xí)產(chǎn)生懷疑,失去學(xué)習(xí)英語的興趣,由此可見農(nóng)村初中 聽力能力的薄弱。
學(xué)生方面: 多數(shù)學(xué)生來自村小,極少數(shù)來自鎮(zhèn)中心小,受農(nóng)村小學(xué)教學(xué)條件、師資、管理的影響生源素質(zhì)低,學(xué)生在小學(xué)階段基本尚失學(xué)習(xí)興趣,基本沒有良好學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣,基本沒有學(xué)習(xí)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(xué)生水平遠(yuǎn)不及新課程的起點要求,如很多小學(xué)校根本沒開英語,開了的也行同虛設(shè),學(xué)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(xué)配制:實物、多媒體、課件等,農(nóng)村學(xué)校難以實現(xiàn),這給教學(xué)帶來困難,教師在傳統(tǒng)教法和課改教法間徘徊,難以取舍,進(jìn)退兩難。
教材方面:
教材起點高,不適應(yīng)農(nóng)村學(xué)校的實際。以英語學(xué)科為例,人教社出版的英語新教材“Go For It”在城市學(xué)校使用應(yīng)是一部很不錯的教材,但對于大多數(shù)小學(xué)未開英語課的農(nóng)村學(xué)校來說還是難度偏大,起點過高。薄弱的學(xué)生語言能力使新教材所倡導(dǎo)的任務(wù)型教學(xué)模式的實踐受到很大的制約。
教材內(nèi)容新,但脫離學(xué)生的生活實際?!癎o 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(nóng)村學(xué)生來說,很多內(nèi)容卻因缺乏生活體驗而顯得十分遙遠(yuǎn)。
教材份量加重,教學(xué)任務(wù)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(nèi)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(zhì)量觀在教育行政部門和老百姓中還沒有得到認(rèn)同,以升學(xué)率高低評價學(xué)校辦學(xué)水平的觀念根深蒂固,很多學(xué)校對課改都持觀望、應(yīng)付的態(tài)度,課改中的工作也只是應(yīng)付上級檢查的消極行為。
教師、學(xué)校之間競爭激烈,大家都害怕課改影響教學(xué)質(zhì)量,不敢放手探索和實驗,不敢放手使用新的教學(xué)方法。
(二)聽力的重要性
中學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語首先就應(yīng)當(dāng)從聽入手,英語聽力對學(xué)習(xí)英語至關(guān)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(jù)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?!?/p>
根據(jù)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(qiáng)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(xué)英語教學(xué)大綱中把聽說教學(xué)放在教學(xué)法的首位,強(qiáng)調(diào)聽說英語是英語教學(xué)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(xué)當(dāng)中有其特殊的作用。聽,是語言的基礎(chǔ);聽力,是語言學(xué)習(xí)的前提。
從心理學(xué)的研究來看,在相等時間內(nèi),聽到的信息量比讀到的信息量要大得多;而聽到的信息轉(zhuǎn)化為感性知識比讀到的信息轉(zhuǎn)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(yǎng)語感。
從中學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的心理特點看,中學(xué)生年少好勝,善于模仿,聽覺靈敏,活潑喜動。如果能注意培養(yǎng)他們的聽力,在情趣盎然的氣氛中加強(qiáng)聽力訓(xùn)練,必將取得事半功倍的效果。
(三)聽力的構(gòu)成
聽力主要由兩個部分構(gòu)成。即迅速正確地辨音解義的能力、理解語言內(nèi)涵的能力,亦稱“文化悟力”。這兩種能力表現(xiàn)在中學(xué)英語課堂上,即為識記教師發(fā)出的語音形式,準(zhǔn)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(nèi)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(yīng)包含對有關(guān)文化知識的理解和占有能力,包括經(jīng)濟(jì)、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(zhǔn)確。
(四)目前學(xué)生在聽力學(xué)習(xí)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(guān)重要的。然而部分學(xué) 生對英語標(biāo)準(zhǔn)發(fā)音掌握不好,或者他們自身的英語發(fā)音與標(biāo)準(zhǔn)發(fā)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(jīng)學(xué)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?zāi)芰θ酢S袝r候?qū)W生對平時能正確發(fā)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(xué)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(diào) 的升降都會導(dǎo)致在連貫語流中語音的發(fā)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(yīng)弱讀。由于這些詞的弱讀,導(dǎo)致了 語流中的一些語音變化。學(xué)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(chǎn)生誤解。3.詞義的語境判斷差。大多數(shù)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(yīng)根據(jù)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(xué)生往往只根據(jù)自己所熟悉、掌握的詞義便“聽 詞生義”誤下結(jié)論。
4.猜字的技能技巧低。在聽力中,學(xué)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(jù)上下文內(nèi)容去進(jìn)行聯(lián)想猜測。猜字能力強(qiáng)的學(xué)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(xué)生在名詞用法“熊”的詞義上苦苦思索,而不根據(jù)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(yè)的人說英語。英國音與美國 音在發(fā)音上的較大不同會使學(xué)生無法較好地進(jìn)行分辨。如美國人把[a:]發(fā)成[],把[wen]發(fā)成[ hwen],在or或er后綜合加進(jìn)[r]音。因此一些極普通的常用詞在學(xué)生聽起來就成了陌生的不熟悉的詞,結(jié)果影響了對全篇聽力材料的理解。
6.主要內(nèi)容抓不住。在聽的過程中,要每個詞都聽懂,對大部分學(xué)生來說是不大可能的。只要聽懂中 心內(nèi)容,就能理解領(lǐng)會全文。但部分學(xué)生不善于在聽時抓主要內(nèi)容。他們只根據(jù)材料中的只言片語就斷章取義 地進(jìn)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(lián)系,結(jié)果對整段內(nèi)容產(chǎn)生片面的理解,得出錯 誤的結(jié)論。
7.重要細(xì)節(jié)捕不牢。聽力不僅要求學(xué)生聽懂材料的主要內(nèi)容和中心思想,而且要求學(xué)生聽懂能說明主 題的重要細(xì)節(jié)。對于那些影響整篇材料的重要細(xì)節(jié)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(shù)字等。學(xué)生在聽的過程中往往忽視對以上重要細(xì)節(jié)的記憶與分辨,結(jié)果對與重大 細(xì)節(jié)有關(guān)的選擇題難以下手。
8.正確習(xí)慣沒養(yǎng)成。有些學(xué)生缺乏正確的聽的習(xí)慣。他們往往先將聽懂的東西先譯成漢語、用漢語進(jìn) 行思維理解,缺乏用英語直接思維的習(xí)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(lián)系起來形成連貫的記憶,最后將全文的要點通過一定的聯(lián)系有機(jī)地統(tǒng)一起來。
9.語法、習(xí)語不扎實。部分學(xué)生沒有扎實的語法功底與習(xí)語積累,所以在聽時或概念模糊或錯誤理解 句子的語法結(jié)構(gòu)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(xué)生構(gòu)詞法掌握不好,語法知識、習(xí)慣用語不扎實,那么在聽時發(fā)生判斷失誤也就不奇怪了。10.背景知識太狹窄。聽力材料內(nèi)容廣泛,涉及天文、地理、人物、歷史、科技、文藝、教育、醫(yī)學(xué)、體育等諸多領(lǐng)域。由于學(xué)生知識面太狹窄,缺乏對英語國家的風(fēng)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(nèi)容一知半解,甚至不知所云,結(jié)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(jī)械地放錄音、聽錄音是難于提高聽 力水平的。因此訓(xùn)練聽力應(yīng)做到聽與說、讀、寫相結(jié)合,齊頭并進(jìn)。
(五)聽力提高現(xiàn)實教學(xué)法
1.強(qiáng)化語音。要強(qiáng)化語音的基本訓(xùn)練,掌握辨別單詞中的長短元音、輔音、輔音連綴,辨認(rèn)語流中的 重讀、弱讀、連讀和語調(diào)。要讓學(xué)生多接觸辨別語音、語調(diào)的聽力練習(xí),消除語音上的障礙。
2.辨別口音。針對中學(xué)英語聽力磁帶主要是英式英語的發(fā)音,而聽力測試往往以美式英語發(fā)音為多見 這一現(xiàn)狀,必須訓(xùn)練學(xué)生盡快了解、熟悉英式發(fā)音的英語與美式發(fā)音的英語的差別,并能較好地適應(yīng)聽這兩種 不同口音的英語。常用的訓(xùn)練手段是多聽英、美的廣播節(jié)目。如VDA Special English和BBC廣播。這樣做既 可培養(yǎng)學(xué)生適應(yīng)不同口音的英語的能力,又能豐富學(xué)生的知識面。3.精泛并聽。精聽與泛聽是聽力訓(xùn)練中相輔相成的兩種方法。精聽是讓學(xué)生反復(fù)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?;?聽后復(fù)述材料內(nèi)容,回答相關(guān)問題等,以便了解學(xué)生對所聽到的材料的掌握程度。泛聽訓(xùn)練主要培養(yǎng)抓主題大 意的本領(lǐng),聽不同的口音與語調(diào),培養(yǎng)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(guān)系,泛聽是精聽的基礎(chǔ),精聽是泛聽的深化,應(yīng)用泛聽來帶動精聽。
4.聽說結(jié)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(xué)生利用課內(nèi)外一切機(jī)會說英語,用英語來表達(dá)自己。要充分利用“英語角”,接 觸英美藉人士等機(jī)會來操練口語??谡Z中的不同語調(diào)可以表達(dá)不同的感情、態(tài)度和意思,只有多進(jìn)行口語練習(xí),才能掌握不同語調(diào)在上下文中所表達(dá)的不同感情,才能使學(xué)生在聽時能較好地分辨不同語調(diào)所表達(dá)的不同內(nèi) 涵。因此,說能促進(jìn)聽,聽能帶動說。
5.聽讀結(jié)合。對文字材料邊聽邊讀有助于增強(qiáng)語感,辨別語流。聽讀結(jié)合能使詞句的音、形、意在記 憶中迅速統(tǒng)一起來,減少判斷誤差。要讓學(xué)生養(yǎng)成每天半小時邊聽邊朗讀英語磁帶的習(xí)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(jié)合。聽寫練習(xí)是提高聽力水平的必不可少的一環(huán)。聽寫是一種限時性強(qiáng)、輸入量大、需要高 度集中一個人的注意力與充分調(diào)動一個人所有語言知識的強(qiáng)腦力勞動過程。在聽寫過程中,學(xué)生只有直接理解,直接記憶,才能把所聽到的內(nèi)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(jìn)而聽寫 課文的縮寫,最后聽寫與課文難度相當(dāng)?shù)模ǎ保埃啊保担白值模┪淖植牧稀.?dāng)一個學(xué)生能較好地寫下他所聽 到的內(nèi)容時,那么他對文字內(nèi)容的理解當(dāng)然也不會有什么問題了。
7.擴(kuò)大閱讀。聽力的好壞往往與閱讀有關(guān)。書讀得越多,詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)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(lǐng)會理解所聽到的材料的內(nèi)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(qiáng)化對學(xué)生的大劑量限時閱讀訓(xùn)練來促進(jìn) 其聽力速度的提高。要指導(dǎo)學(xué)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(nèi)抓住中心,了解 大意,捕捉住重要細(xì)節(jié)即可。閱讀速度的提高能促進(jìn)思維節(jié)奏的加快,這樣在聽時能跟上正常讀速的英語。同 時,不同內(nèi)容的閱讀能豐富學(xué)生的知識,培養(yǎng)語感,了解英美文化及篇章結(jié)構(gòu),弄清它們的思維方式,從而促 進(jìn)聽力的提高。
8.掌握技巧。利用聽力練習(xí)來提高聽的技巧,訓(xùn)練審題與應(yīng)變能力,是提高英語聽力測試水平的有效 途徑。在聽力訓(xùn)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(shù)字等信息,以便在答題時可以有所參考。在此基礎(chǔ)上再過渡到用腦去記憶。要注意進(jìn)行聽力微技能的訓(xùn)練,抓文章的開 頭與結(jié)尾的句子,想方設(shè)法捕捉主題和關(guān)鍵語句。在聽前先瀏覽練習(xí)測試題的供選答案,從中預(yù)測聽力材料可 能的內(nèi)容與體裁。對于一些含蓄的問題,要利用自己的想象與經(jīng)驗去理解、猜測、推理,并注意英語的背景知 識與習(xí)慣用法。在必要時用排除法來剔除不可能成立的答案
小結(jié):
盡管農(nóng)村初中條件差,以上提高聽力的方法相信一臺收錄機(jī)完全能夠辦到,在結(jié)合教材方面還可把教材聽力材料打印給學(xué)生,方便學(xué)生復(fù)習(xí)聽力,更好把握教材內(nèi)容。相信過了聽力關(guān),培養(yǎng)了學(xué)生的聽感,英語學(xué)習(xí)的語感也即增強(qiáng),這無疑提高學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的成就感,進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的興趣,讓落后的農(nóng)村初中學(xué)生的英語學(xué)習(xí)打破傳統(tǒng)教學(xué)的同時,又體現(xiàn)課改精神,讓學(xué)生真正在課改的春風(fēng)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 “l(fā)ift”, 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
