Have in your learning area something to see, to hear or to touch. For example, there could be a poster of London, an English song they know and an English toy or statuette.
Have in your room a message like ' We speak English here', 'English only', or 'English spoken', so that the kids will easily see them when they look down or look up.
在房间里张贴标牌,写明“请说英语”或类似的字样,让孩子很容易看到。
3.
Create a specific English-speaking location, e.g. 'This is Liverpool. It is the Football Match today between Liverpool and Manchester United'. This could be written or said. Thus the room becomes Liverpool and you and the kids become Liverpudlians
Give rewards for speaking English, e.g. smile, make eye contact, nod encouragement and understanding, touch, give praise and applause.
对说英语的行为设置小小的奖励,比如微笑、眼神接触、点头表示鼓励和理解,抚摸,称赞和鼓掌等等。
5.
Give 'punishments' for speaking Chinese, e.g. frown, look away, step back, pretend not to undertand.
如果不小心说了中文,要进行“惩罚”,比如皱眉、不看他、向后退、假装听不懂等。
6.
Agree a system of fines for speaking Chinese. The fines could be coins or just matchsticks. But make sure that you must pay a fine too if you speak Chinese. After a period of time decide with the kids (in English) how you will spend the money.
Sometimes it might be difficult for the children to concentrate, then just stop and start a 'compulsory talking' in Chinese for exactly one minute. At the last second yell 'Stop', then say 'Can we all speak English for the next five minutes?' and go on with your topic.
在教学过程中, 要改变以前那种过分强调学科体系的观念,教师可根据教学内容及学生的专业特点,巧妙地把英语口语训练与音乐、美术、舞蹈等学科有机地结合起来,以便提高学生的学习积极性,培养学生的综合能力和文化素养。例如:平时教给学生一些简单的曲调、小诗、口诀、绕口令等,帮助学生巩固记忆单词和句型,辨析词汇。如:Well,since you got wellagain,you should go on pumping water from the well and do it well.(好啦,既然你恢复健康了,你就得继续从井里往外抽水,并把它做好。)帮助学生辨析well的词义。还可以让学生根据所学句型或词汇配上某些耳熟能详的音乐节奏, 用歌曲的形式表达出来。这样让学生自创英语歌曲,并在班上进行演唱表演,学生对此兴趣浓厚。又如:有些学生英语基础差,但画画的兴趣浓, 教师就可布置用英语描述自己的画或根据别人的英语描述作画的口语练习。这样既练习了学生的口语和听力,又结合了绘画基本功, 激发了那些擅长美术而英语基础差的学生学习英语的兴趣。
(2)短剧表演。根据幼师专业的特点,教师可经常布置一些英语短剧,激发学生的兴趣。按英语基础的好、中、差综合搭配,各班分成若干个学习活动小组,每次布置短剧表演练习后,各组在课外积极准备,下次上课时进行表演。要求发音正确,脱稿表演。这样巧妙地运用小组活动,不仅可以让学生学会团结协作,还可以让学生从中获得成功的愉悦,更好地培养其兴趣,保持旺盛的求知欲。例如:有一次我布置了“Who Gets the Hat”的短剧表演。学生为了表演好,课后做了充分的准备,有的小组不仅把台词熟记下来,而且自创了一些情节,制作了monkey,fox,bear的面具,准备了帽子、溜冰鞋等道具。那些基础差、胆子较小的学生因为有所准备,也能积极参加,从而增强了学习自信心,提高了英语口语表达能力。
