(2)The Wh—Question Technique用途同上。如“What is the stoty about?”是个非常笼统的问题,而“When and Where did the story take place?”则是具体的问题。
(3)The Dictation Technique内容可易可难,它取决于学生的英语水平。若材料合适,此方法是很有趣的。如:教师可听写一篇短文,其中包括学生们已学过的介词,听写的同时,让学生把听到的内容画出来。例文:“There is a house behinda big tree.The door is open and the window is open,too.In it,a table standsin the middle.And on the table,there are two plates and three bowls……”画完后,学生可互相欣赏彼此的“杰作”,其中趣味盎然。教师最后出示正确的画面。(用此方法还可让学生为画涂色)。
(8)The What—Is—It Technique也是很有趣的。教师描述某个东西,学生来猜。如:“It has a round face and two legs.But it has neither a nose,nor eyes,nor a mouth nor ears.It doesn’t move its position while it iswalking.”问“What is it?”答:“A clock!”
