Abstract

Multimedia Assisted Instruction (MAI) is widely applied in the classroom teaching; which especially plays a great role in junior middle schools English classroom .With the assistance of MAI, the atmosphere is more active and students ‘engagement is higher. However, there still exist some problems in its application. Most of the teachers only think that multimedia can make abstract contents more visualized and vivid mind select as many as multimedia materials as possible, but the choice is not based on the needs of students. In short, teachers do not take the cultivation of students’ learning motivation into account. Most of designs of courseware are not appropriate and scientific.

At last, the process of multimedia in junior Middle English teaching: Firstly, teachers should provided students enough interactive space and discussion in pairs or in groups should be paid more attention in MAI classroom. Secondly, teachers should analyze the needs and interests of different students before designing the PPT courseware. The amount of the materials needs not too much. Thirdly, teachers should follow the principles of design of courseware; moreover, teachers should select proper media material according to their functions, because different material has different functions

This paper is divided into four parts: Firstly, the importance of the MAI and contents of this paper; Secondly, the literature review ;Thirdly, the principles of the process of application of multimedia in junior middle school teaching English; Fourthly, the teachers choose materials according to different students.

1. Introduction

Multimedia Assisted Instruction (MAI) refers to a rational structure of the teaching process that is formed by means of participation of a variety of media, through the instructional design, rational choice and use of modern teaching media and organic combination of traditional teaching the past, teacher is a piece of chalk, a book, a lesson planning the classroom, the limited capacity of this teaching, teachers in the classroom if you want to add some extra knowledge is very difficult to do. Because only dictated by teachers and students thinking hard to keep up with the other, as often subject to time constraints, teacher writing on the blackboard design is also very limited. Since the introduction of multimedia technology, after English class, this phenomenon has been greatly improved, teachers can use in the classroom courseware and teaching goals to add a lot of relevant content, using the content analysis to fully understand the textbook knowledge. Big screen to search through historical events in the text and give the summary, important points of this lesson, so that the text content of more simplistic, a glance, students have easy access to knowledge points. English is the language of a very practical subject, students must pass between the number of students and students communicate in English to students of English communicative competence. We can no computer multimedia, but not without teachers. Whether computer multimedia should be used depends on the needs of English teaching. Undeniably, the traditional teaching methods can also be reflected to some extent, the main body of students, but proved that it did not like the computer-aided teaching of multimedia significant effect. Therefore, we can say that use of multimedia assisted teaching, the teaching process is conducive to strengthening democracy and openness, so that teachers learn while at

the pleasure, the pleasure of the students of knowledge, and strive to enable students to learn active, lively and solid. But this does not mean that computer multimedia instruction can replace all other media. Other media and means of teaching many of the features of computer multimedia can not be replaced, such as in-kind, stick figure and other functions in the classroom can not be ignored. Therefore, we should be according to the teaching content, features, style, and need to select the appropriate media and means of rational use of multimedia and conventional media and means to play their respective strengths in order to achieve maximum effectiveness of teaching. At the same time teaching must be “people-oriented”, give full play to the subjectivity of students. In the use of multimedia-assisted teaching of English, be good at guiding students to think through multimedia courseware, discussion, answer questions, instead of restricting student’s thinking, passive recipients of teacher instruction and computer and information provided. Teachers enter information to students, but also should be more room for creative thinking for students, allow students to actively participate in teaching activities to achieve the interaction between teachers and students. In short, to follow the teaching of multimedia is just “assistance” of the facilities, teaching students to highlight the dominant position, maximize student initiative and creativity.

Computers educators of USA, Bork predicts in 1978 that, to the beginning of the 21st century, learning interactively buy use of the computers will become the main studying methods of almost all types of school and all kinds of subjects.. In the 21st century, Bork’prediction has turned into reality. MAI has great functions because of the powerful functions of multimedia. Firstly, MAI gives learners the power to explore and manipulate information

and enables individuals to contract their own knowledge base by integrating the written text, sound, drawings, diagrams, animated drawings or diagrams, still photographs, other images and video dips which will help to develop learner’s language ability and cultivate capacity by means of multisensory stimulation. Secondly, MAI can constrict a real and favorable English communicative context to promote language learning for send or foreign language learners. In the classroom of MAI, abstract contexts will become lively and active, dig their potential ability, and then attain excellent results. In such a situation, constructed by multimedia, learners will have high interest and fascination to the English instruction and then instruction will strengthen target language’s factor. In addition, MAI can offer learners much more information concerning the subject matter. What’s more, MAI can stimulate learner’s motivation and control learners’ attention by multimode sensory stimuli. Furthermore, MAI can promote interaction and instruct an active and positive teaching atmosphere.

Recently, MAI is widely used in the classroom teaching, especially in English classroom teaching in almost all the schools in China. However, in the process of the application of the MAI in English classroom, there emerge some problems when MAI becomes more and more widespread in the English instruction. For example, the multimedia becomes the only assisted tool in English classroom and the teacher ignores other important assisted tools such as real things. In some classroom, the multimedia courseware is full of kinds of sound, animation, photos, which make learner’s attention away from the subject content. Classroom turns into Information Ocean, but teachers ignore students’ reflection. Teachers ignore the essence of language of teaching, and only emphasize the information giving and offer little chance to communicate with each other.

At the beginning of this essay, the importance of multimedia in English teaching and significance of the study are consequently stated. Later on, it goes to the following parts which conclude roles of the application of multimedia in the aspect of junior middle school English class. With my survey on multimedia-aided English teaching, the advantages and negative effects reflected by the teachers and students and the solutions will be includes in the following paragraphs. The conclusion of my study is arranged in the end.

2. Literature Review

What Is Multimedia?

Multimedia is the combination of computer and video technology. Multimedia really just two media sound and pictures, or in today’s term, audio and video. Multimedia itself has its binary aspects. As with all modern technologies, it is made from a mix of hardware and software, machine and ideas. More importantly, you can conceptually divide technology and function of multimedia into control systems and information. The enabling force behind multimedia is digital technology. Multimedia represents the convergence of digital control and digital media---the PC as the d igital control system and the digital media being today’s most advanced form of audio and video storage and transmission. In fact, some people see multimedia simply as the marriage of PCs and video. PC power has reached a level close to that needed for procession television and sound data streams in real time, multimedia was born. Multimedia PC needs to be more powerful than mainstream computer---at least the multimedia PC defines the mainstream.

The generic term “multimedia” refers to he sequential or simultaneous use of variety of media formats in a given presentation or self-study program (Sharon E. Smaldino et, al 2005. 14). He Guoda (2006) believes that multimedia refers to the system based in the computer which has interactive feature and is made from all kinds of media information (for example written words, data, graph, and so on) through computer synthesis processes and any of media format can establish a logical link to another. Teacher can carry on a lively classroom instruction by using the multimedia, stimulate students’ learning enthusiasm well, and make students’ imagination and creativity displayed, and finally achieve a teaching effect of nature and superior.

The term “multimedia” is now firmly associated with computer-based delivery, usually over the internet and accompanied and supported by interaction provided via some form of computer-mediated communication (Sanjaya Mishra and Ramesh C. Sharma, 2005, 2) Multimedia stems may consist of traditional media in combination or they may incorporate the computer as a display device for text, pictures, sound and video, but it involves more than simply integrating these formats into a guideline program in which each element complements the others so that the whole is greater than the sum of parts.

Multimedia usually tends to feature several media types including text, images, sound, and video. Current language-learning programs classified by their vendors as multimedia generally fall into this broad definition. The multimedia synthesizes the advantages of text, audio, video graphs and other kinds of information as a whole. Because of the characteristics of multimodality, it can cause stimulation of multiple sense organs of students. Besides, it can

activate students’interest and increase the opportunity for language practice. Multimedia enriches language materials and enhance the authenticity of language situation Moreover, multimedia is useful in constructing the fellowship of interaction between teachers and students in a virtual language instruction environment. In short, multimedia means multiple information formats, and it can apply some knowledge information in a text to help students comprehend the text. Because different learners carry different culture-specific background information, teachers can design warming-up task to enlarge students’topic-relates background knowledge and then restructure rich background knowledge in order to avoid causing understanding puzzles.

In English classroom teaching, the reason why multimedia has so powerful functions is mainly that multimedia can show multiple modality. Multimodality combines graphics, text and audio output with speech, and text to deliver a dramatic experience. When compared to single-mode of interface in which teacher can only use either voice or visual modes, multimodal application gives students multiple options for inputting and receiving information. Multimodality has real potential to improve the quality of daily instruction. Students who participate in the classroom of multimodality can envision a wide range of benefits from the language learning. In the survey, PPT courseware inserts multimedia information, and it makes the classroom active and students engage in the instruction positively because the multisensory stimuli of the multimedia. Take the music and video as example, Music (R. Barton & T. Haydn, 2006) on its own, especially classical, can also be useful in the classroom. In general, the music insets in the PPT courseware can function as setting the mood at the start of the lesson and giving teachers something to talk about with students at the starts of

the lesson. In addition, music can be used while students work on dull exercise, and can be used to set the scene while student do a particular task to help students feel relaxed. Moreover, music can be used as the key is to ask the students and to take your cue from them. What’s more, the video focuses on assisting students to listen and understand better, in many cases, it is used to teach grammar or function.

What’s MAI?

MAI refers to a rational structure of the teaching process that is formed by means of participation of a variety of media, through the instructional design, rational choice and use of modern teaching media and the organic combination of traditional teaching methods, according to the teaching media and the characteristics of the object, which optimizes the effectiveness of teaching (Ren Gaoda&Fan Jiaolian, 2004) Multimedia technologies can change the media formats of the written words, the graph, audio, video and animation image into a comprehensive multimedia information shape through computer synthesis processing at the same time, which has static and dynamic status, image, and the sound. Zhuang Zhixiang (2007) sates that the multimedia assisted foreign language teaching is a kind of teaching methods, which makes use of computers and computer technology to integrate the text, image, audio, video, and others into a unified signal and then to provide teachers and learners to use through the same terminal.

The Function of Multimedia

A typical multimedia works can be text, pictures, computer graphics and animations,

sound, video the combination of any several. This article purport multimedia applied to teaching field, it is the present domestic just beginning field, is also a promising field, the school the teacher through multimedia can very image intuitive tells clear in the past it’s difficult to describe the course content, and students can be more image to understand and master the corresponding teaching content. Students can also teach themselves through multimedia, take an examination of oneself, etc. Teaching is the most suitable to use multi-media aided teaching. Multimedia aided and participation will make teaching produce a qualitative revolution. Multimedia and teaching together, not only in enhancing the students’ comprehensive ability, also improve teaching efficiency, be helpful for teachers and students to interact. (Ian Hall &Steve Higgins, etc, 2005). Teachers need to have the learners do specific activities that rely on their ability to use multimedia. Lastly, it is the evolution and revision. Teachers should consider how materials that rely on multimedia help students to interpret the teaching contents.

Student-centered Pedagogical Theories Relevant to MAI

The paper is mainly about the application of student-centered MAI. Student-centered instruction emphasizes the interaction and the cultivation of learning motivation, and thereby the theories of interaction and the cultivation of language learning motivation are two of the most important theories relevant to the research.

2. 4. 1The Interaction Theory

Interactive teaching is supported by the theory of constructivism and cognitive learning

theory, and it emphasizes the student-centered. Social-constructivism theory represented by Vygotsky (1978) emphasizes interaction and engagement with target language in a social context based on the concept of “Zone of Proximal Development” (ZPD) and scaffolding (Wang, 2006: 6). Interactive technique emphasizes the interaction between teacher and students or between students and students in class so it advocates students to communicate with others in target language. A. B. M Tsui (1995: 95) notes the opportunity for language learning through group work interaction. She argues that group work provides the opportunity to practice a much wider ran of speech functions. In China, students have little opportunity to develop conversational skill. So teachers should provide enough opportunities to improve the conversational competence in the classroom. Because language acquisition is mainly obtained in the classroom, the key problems for the teachers is how to make full use of instruction time and create meaningful language learning atmosphere so that students can learn and acquire foreign language in a more real natural situation. The carryout of the interactive activities in class can help create conditions for good language environment. As well as fitting the needs and interests of students, contents should be interesting and can foster a friendly, relaxed atmosphere: content selection should provide a wide exposure to vocabulary that may be useful to basic personal communication (Krashen 1983). Hu Zhuang lin (1998) states that language is the product of society and is the tool of man’s communication. Therefore, the classroom should be like a community that is made up of students and teachers, where teachers and learners or learners and learners should communicate with each other freely in the target language and so teachers in the community need to provide the learners with communicative activities.

2. 4. 2 The Motivation Theory

“Language are unlike any other subject taught in a classroom in that they involve the acquisition of skills and behavior patterns which are characteristic of another community ”(Gardener, 1985). When students consider English as a crucial means of for communication in daily life, and have great interest in learning and communicating in and outside the classroom, it can be said that English classroom teaching is successful and students’motivation has been motivated by means of some pedagogical method such as interactive teaching analyzed above. When it comes to the motivation, what is motivation?

R. Gardner defines motivation as referring to a combination of effort plus desire to achieve the goal of learning the language plus favorable attitudes towards learning language. In a simple word in language learning, motivation is a kind of orientation associated with a desire to learn the foreign language, and its component is made of the desire to learn the foreign language. Motivation is one of the main factors in foreign learning and it plays an important role in predicting the success of target language acquisition in general.

3. The Solution to the Problems and the New Ideas

Nowadays, in the classroom, multimedia plays a great role in creating a proper and interesting context, and MAI becomes the mainstream way of assisted in teaching, especially in English classroom teaching. After the analysis of the interview and classroom observation, it is confirmed that the MAI has influence on the classroom.

However, it also reveals that the application of cultivation of the MAI in English

classroom in junior high schools causes some problems that have been identified above. Regarding to the problems, an issue comes out-how do English teachers optimize the application of the MAI in English classroom of junior high schools?

Integrating the Interaction into the MAI Classroom

Most of the teachers like to use the PPT courseware, and are not concerned about whether the classroom should be interactive or not. Therefore, teachers should integrate the interaction into the MAI classroom, and provide enough opportunities to make the MAI classroom interactive.

Firstly, teachers should consider this factor in the process of the design of MAI classroom, and provide enough interactive space for the students in order to offer them the chance of thinking in English. The classroom interaction can be realized in many ways, and the MAI may be one of the easiest and most important ways, because the multimedia can establish a relaxed context and evoke students’ strong curiosity and the imagination for the classroom instruction, particularly for English instruction. The English instruction needs a linguistic environment with the foreign-culture background knowledge. Therefore, during the application of the MAI in English classroom of junior high schools, teachers should try to integrate the interaction theory with the MAI, because the MAI will make students feel interested in English classroom teaching where there are multimodality-demonstration ways of the course contents. Secondly, discussion in group or in pairs should be paid more attention in MAI classroom. In such classroom, the students centralize their attention and cause a great interest by means of diverse picture in PPT courseware. The students grasp the sentence

pattern quickly and highly effectively and learn to ponder the question positively just like Tsui argues in 1995:”group work provides the opportunity to practice a much wider rang of speech functions” (Tsui, 1995)

Cultivating the Learning Motivation in MAI Classroom

The paper reveals that all most of the PPT courseware contains plentiful and multisensory content, but the writer find out the students do not have high motivation to participate, and even many of them feel terrible. It is not given more concern that the multimedia information can hold the attention or distract the attention. They only think that multimedia will make abstract contents more visualized, but not take students’ learning motivation into account. The motivation is on the basis of the need of a person, and the need is an active dynamics that will stimulates the person to carry on each kind of activities. Motivation is a vital element that has a profound influence on the foreign language learning, especially for Chinese students. Therefore, integrating the motivation theory into the classroom instruction of MAI with purpose will active the students’ motivation in a silent way, motivation will maintain positive status of language learning. Analyze the needs and interests of different students before designing the PPT courseware. In general, the PPT is vivid, but it is lack of individualized feature. In the junior high schools that are investigated for research, the PPT courseware of the teacher’s is allowed to be copied by learners after class, and it will be a kind of useful reference material foe reviewing the knowledge.

Optimizing the Design of the MAI Courseware

Using multimedia technology assistance junior middle school English classroom teaching in class, we can simulate vivid, colorful real-life scenarios for students create good learning language atmosphere. Take the student as the main body in the English classroom activities in Chinese language teaching, which not only meets the middle-school students curious, active psychological and subconscious in the subject of developing the students’ awareness of learning and innovation consciousness, strengthening the students’ learn ing confidence. The design of courseware slides should be given more concern. It covers the aspects of the font choice, the design of the background and transition, template choice and inserting multimodality information. Teachers should select proper media materials according to their functions. Different materials have different functions. Song on tape, video in the classroom are often used a “filler” activity to change the mood or pace of a lesson. Many authentic songs are good classroom materials, and if they are reasonably up-to date, go down especially well with younger students.

The New Ideas

Establishment of a “Modern Education Teaching Center” to Promote the Modernization of Educational Technology in Schools

Multimedia English teachers should realize own role transformation, can’t always stay in the traditional education ideas and teaching modes. Fully embody modern education theory and teaching idea of multimedia teaching English to students focus moved, attaching importance to the student’s enthusiasm and subjectivity, stressed, claims that the study of various efforts of humanism. In the teaching process, the teacher can give full play to its

leading role, from the original knowledge for students who, instilling change initiative significance construction helper, promoters. Besides should possess the ideological quality and professional quality outside, they still need to continually optimize teaching for students to create the good, the language learning env ironment, stimulate the students’ learning interest and initiative, always perceived and the difference of the individual students need, to the lack of confidence in the student wants timely encouragement and help explore the effective way to learn。Some teachers have a wrong perspective in mind, regarding multimedia as computers. In the whole class no matter whether it deals with subject, questions, text, words, and sentences or not, all are completed by a computer totally with chalk and blackboard left out. In English teaching, though it has some special advantages, multimedia is only a kind of media in teaching process to aid and optimize teaching with no possibility to be all-powerful。Meanwhile, the multimedia belongs to the production the modern information, as we all know, we follow the teacher’ thoughts that has the main opposition on aspect of the content, ways, process, and even practice of teaching. This view dominated too much emphasis on the role of teacher, that teacher educators, is the process of teaching the subject, and students are educated, is the object of the teaching process, in the teaching process should be passive recipients of outside influences, that is to be taught state. The education system trained students have the lower part of the initiative, lack of learning autonomy, reliance on teachers to teach. When these are used to teachers - students are exposed to the textbook model of the new multi-media English language teaching, it always felt too fast paced and informative, it is not suited. Result. They produced multimedia teaching emotional or tired to resist psychological, academic nature are not significantly improved, the opposite may also be

多媒体与英语教学

多媒体与英语教学 青州市偶园回民初级中学雷清春 苏联大教育家苏霍姆林斯基说过:“学生来到学校,不仅是学习知识,而是使自己变得更加聪明。”学生刚接触到英语,感到很新鲜,很有兴趣,但是,过一段时间后,兴趣逐渐减弱,怎样解决这一问题,根据多年来的教学经验,我采取了信息技术中的电声媒体教学。本文就多媒体教学在优化英语课堂教学、激发学生学习兴趣、优化教与学等方面所发挥的重要作用谈谈自己的认识。 我们知道,传统英语教学多采取一本书、一张嘴、一支粉笔、一块黑板的方式,讲来讲去一本书,听来听去一个声音。教师重知识的传授,轻能力的培养,课堂上往往是教师讲的卖力,学生听的吃力,这种重教轻学的教学方式不重视研究学生独立获取知识学习的全过程,使学生处于被动地听,消极地接受老师所讲授知识的状态,限制了学生思维,阻碍了学生的可持续发展。 多媒体进课堂是对传统教育思想和教学模式的重大挑战与突破。相比较其他现代化教学手段,多媒体辅助教学可以做到图文声像并茂,内容丰富多彩,趣味性强,把静态变成动态,抽象变成具体,化枯燥为生动,促使学生眼、耳、口、手多项感官并用,大大优化了英语课堂教学,提高了学生的学习兴趣,从而达到提高教学效率的目的。 一、运用多媒体,可以优化语言学习环境 语言的抽象性是英语的特点之一。英语教学应尽量为学生设置真实的语言环境,为他们提供充分进行英语实践活动和交流的机会。多媒体能将录像、图片、动画、声音、文字等展现出来,使原本陌生枯燥的书本知识变得生动鲜活,调动学生的多种感官参与学习,能优化语言学习环境。 例如:在教学Mid-autumn Day时,我们可以先用动画形式传递中秋节信息(教师说:Look! What’s this? What do you think of when you see t he moon?),让学生说出月饼、嫦娥、团圆等相关词汇。 接下来问:You know the beautiful LadyChang has its beautiful stories.Do you want to read them? 以此来引导学生网上阅读,同时展示中秋节传说、传统风俗、历史背景等与主题相关的内容,让学生进一步了解中秋节的信息。 然后,播放一段美国家庭过感恩节(Thanksgiving)的录像,感受纯正的英语口语,在真实情境中了解这一节日丰富的文化内涵及东西方文化之间的差异。 最后,进行一些拓展学习:学生自主搜索世界各国的节日,分析、比较和总结中外节日的异同点,并互相交流。还可以布置学生发E-mail给老师,介绍一个外国节日。 课文内容是“中秋节”,所授知识的文化色彩与学科背景反差甚大。多媒体的运用让这节课似行云流水,让人赏心悦目。教学环节构造了真实的英语学习环境,原汁原味的语言训练了学生的听力,提高了学生的口语水平,感受到了丰富的节日文化内涵。学生利用网络的自主学习更是解决了许多实际问题,真正体现了“做中学 ,二、运用多媒体,可以激发学生兴趣,优化学生的学 学生学习的主动性、积极性是与学习兴趣密切相关的,学习兴趣是学生追求知识,探索真理过程中带有情绪性的意向活动,只有学生本身对学习发生浓厚兴趣,才能使整个认识活动积极起来。创设一种使学生主动参与、兴趣浓厚的课堂教学氛围是唤起学生主体参与的前提和保证。学生在愉快而轻松的学习氛围中容易积极参与教学活动,并且能激发其内在的学习要求。学生学习兴趣的提高往往离不开生动形象的教育素材。多媒体正是具有形声、动画兼备的优点,在创设情境,营造氛围方面比其他媒体来得更直接、更有效。多媒体的合理利用,能更有效地激发学生的学习兴趣

多媒体技术在英语课堂教学中的应用

多媒体技术在英语课堂教学中的应用 近年来,多媒体技术在教学中已被广泛使用。她新颖生动,感染力强,是一种颇具模拟性与启发性的教学手段。它不但容易激发学生的学习兴趣,诱发学生的学习动机,而且还可以打破时间和空间的限制,能够让学生清楚地看见事物发展的全过程,使枯燥的知识趣味化;抽象的语言形象化;深奥的道理具体化。它对于全面提高学生的能力,培养学生的素质有着不可估量的作用。那么,多媒体技术在英语教学中究竟具有什么作用呢?我认为有以下几点:一、运用多媒体创设情景,激发学习兴趣 在英语课堂教学中,随着词汇量的增加,学生常常会表现有陌生、枯燥和乏味的感觉,这些感觉往往会成为学习的障碍而影响学习的效果。要学生主动学习,主动参与首先必须提高学生的学习的兴趣。爱因斯坦说:“兴趣是最好的老师。”美国现代心理学家布鲁纳说:“兴趣是一种特殊的意识倾向,是动机产生的重要的主观原因。”可见,兴趣是学习动机中最活跃、最主要的因索。生动的情境能增加学生的内心体验,引起学生愉快的情绪和探索的兴趣。这就需要教师以一种新颖的、趣味性的教学手段,使教学形象化,从培养学生的兴趣入手,把学生带进与教学内容相应的氛围中,使学生产生身临其境之感。教学中多媒体的运用,借助于美妙的音乐、生动的画面创设有趣的教学情境,激发学生的学习兴趣。学生怀着愉快的心情和探索的兴趣去学习新知识,加上栩栩如生的画面形象,能更好更快的理解,训练了学生思维的灵活性。 如在教学三年级《At the zoo》这一单元时,如果按照传统教学带领学生拼读就难免枯燥,而运用多媒体计算机技术制作动画课件,在学生面前展示出动物园的画面,给学生创设了一个鲜活的动物园场景,让学生的无意注意变为有意注意,并加入不同声音,让学生先听声音猜动物,继而呈现动物,再打出单词,最后让学生亲自操作电脑画几只小动物,边画边念。这一动画情景的创设,使抽象、枯燥的单词具体化,形象化了,大吸引了学生的注意力,从而产生了强烈的学习欲望。再例如,在教学“Can I help you ?”这一语言内容时,在巩固阶段为了多侧面、多角度的让学生正确理解和灵活运用该语言知识,我设计了一组对话内容。从网络中下载了一些生活中可以运用该语言的不同生活场景。如:商场购物的场景、饭店接待的场景、车站机场的场景、书店买书的场景及户外场所帮助他人的场景等等,当学生看到这些生动的画面时,顿感真实亲切,情绪高涨。我还节选了他们爱看的动画片《大头儿子和小头爸爸》中父子一同购物的片段,去掉人物对话,让学生给片中人物配音,然后分角色进行情景会话,学生都欣喜不已,连平时不爱欢发言的几个学生都非常踊跃地举手表演,使课堂真正成为他们的交际场所。 二、运用多媒体,突破教学重点和难点 在传统的教学过程中,由于受人工操作和现场的限制,知识重点、难点往往不易解决。多媒体技术的应用,极大地丰富教学手段和内容,优化了课堂教学结构和过程,使得教材内容得以直观再现,重点易于突出,难点易于突破,极富表现力,易于学生掌握。这是因为现代计算机技术图形处理的能力很高超,把这一特有功能运用到教学中可以变抽象为具体,变静态为动态,化枯燥为生动。抽象思维、逻辑思维、语言表达等方面的障碍在计算机的作用下被化解了,消失了,从而降低了学习难度,使教学难点得以顺利突破,教学重点得以顺利解决。学生也为其形式之新颖,声画之精彩而耳目一新,从而产生乐学情绪。例如在教授介词用法和词组搭配时,利用多媒体技术把抽象的词组设计成情景方式,通过动画进行情景组合,使学习过程有动、有静、图文并茂,从而使学生感性地认识了英语。教低年级学生几个方位介词:in、out、on、under、over和含有这几个介词的词组。为了增强形象性,把抽象的逻辑概念具体生动化,我设计了一个flash动画,画里的主要演员是一只活泼好动的小蜜蜂,主要活动场所是一朵美丽的鲜花。在花朵的旁边是写有这几个介词的按钮。当鼠标单击in 时,小蜜蜂会钻进花芯里;当点击out时,它又会从花芯中钻出来跳舞;当点击on时,它

浅谈多媒体技术在高中英语教学中的应用(许宝玉20101108)

浅谈多媒体技术在高中英语教学中的应用黑龙江省绥化市第一中学许宝玉 关键词:多媒体技术教学应用 计算机多媒体技术发展于20世纪中叶,它是现代信息技术的一种,它为我们提供了前所未有的机会和极大的发展潜力,它可以把人和人、人和信息联系在一起。美国麻省理工学院的西蒙·佩伯特博士指出,“计算机是一种文化,是一种环境,它将引起传统学校和传统教育体系的根本改造。” 计算机多媒体技术与英语教学的整合,已成为今后英语新课程改革的亮点和重点。本人在应用计算机多媒体技术进行高中英语课程改革的实践探索中逐渐形成了一些认识,现总结出来供大家探讨、批评、指正。 一、多媒体技术在英语教学中的作用 1、它改变了学生的学习方式。 转变学生的学习方式是当代高中英语课改的焦点。在多媒体技术与英语教学整合的过程中,计算机因为具有快捷强大的信息搜索能力、存储能力和处理能力,必将成为学生理想地资料搜集和存储处理的工具。运用多媒体技术,容易设置虚拟、仿真的英语语言环境,能全方位刺激学生的感官,使学生在特定的情境中获取知识,在一定程度上克服了母语干扰。 2.它改善了词汇教学环境,促进了英语词汇的认识、记忆。

学英语最难记的是单词,利用多媒体信息技术可以使这一难题的解决变得容易。利用多媒体技术进行教学,可以把单词加上声音、图像、动画等,将学生的感官充分调动起来,记忆的效果会更好。 3.它优化了传统的语法教学。 在传统的英语语法教学中,教师通常以粉笔把例句板书在黑板上,学生也只能机械麻木地记笔记,对一些知识点来不及消化。而多媒体技术教学可用其超文本功能将重、难点一一呈现,并可任意调用,反复重现,避免了教师对重、难点繁琐的板书与讲解。 4、它可以使教师回归英语课程发展的主体地位。 让英语教师成为英语课程发展的主体,是新一轮课改对高中英语教师提出的较高要求。利用多媒体技术能给学生以文字、符号、图形、图像、活动影像和声音等多种媒体信息,能有效地重现事物的客观属性,引起学生的浓厚兴趣。 5、它改变了高中英语课程的教学方式。 高中英语课程强调“合作教学”、“行动研究”等新理念。在多媒体技术与英语教学有机结合的课堂里,一个学生所面对的是多数量、多元化的教师,他们所获得的英语教育也必将是多数量、多元化的;在这种课堂教学中,教与学不断交互和整合,带来的必将是教学相长的不断深化。 6、它可以对课程资源进行深度开发和利用。 教师是最重要的英语课程资源,教师能根据学生的实际条件和特点,对英语课程资源进行鉴别、开发、积累和利用,并在实践中不断

多媒体在英语教学中的优缺点

多媒体在英语教学中的优缺点 多媒体教学是指运用多媒体计算机并借助于预先制作的多媒体教学软件来开展的教学过程。多媒体介入课堂,打破了传统的灌输式教学模式,是教学手段现代化的重要标志。多媒体教学手段相对于传统的教学方式而言,它可以利用其对文本声音、图形、图像、动画等的综合处理特点,编制系列教学课件,充分创造出一个图文并茂、有声有色、生动逼真的教学环境,为教师教学的顺利实施提供形象的表达工具,有效激发学生的学习兴趣。 一、多媒体英语教学的优点 1.提高课堂效率,充实课堂内容 多媒体为外语教学提供了极为有利的物质条件。教师在课堂上可以省去大量板书的时间,用以扩充知识量,增加学生口语的练习,而且利用适当的课件进行授课还可以提高学生学习的兴趣,提高课堂效率。它既保留了计算机的交互特点,又具有视听设备完美地呈现图像和声音的优势,具有非凡的表现力,丰富的内容,多样的形式,生动的图像。 2.促进教师自我提高 现代社会是信息大爆炸的社会,各种新生事物层出不穷,各种新知识不断涌现,外语教学需跟上时代步伐,不断充实新内容,反映时代生活。外语教师的知识需要不断更新和扩充。多媒体成为教师获取知识信息最得心应手的工具。通过多媒体可以进行信息访问,可以收集到最新最好的图文并茂的教材,可以根据教学效果对教材很方便地进行动态组织和修改,教师可通过互联网获取最新资料,进行良好的自我教育,自我提高。 二、多媒体英语教学的弊端 1.多媒体教学手段扼杀了课堂的生动性 表面上看,运用多媒体辅助教学能充分调动学生各种感官的功能,激发学生学习的热情和强烈的求知欲望。而事实上,多媒体教学的格式化、定义化、程序化的特点,使整个课堂只能按照教师事先设计的程序按部就班地进行,每篇课文也是由教师分割成若干支离破碎的板块作定式的学习,学生只能被动接受,课堂气氛再也难见“百家争鸣”的生动场面。 2.多媒体教学课件的制作需花费教师大量时间 多媒体教学课件的制作需花费大量的时间,容易使教学教师放松对于教材教法的研究。多媒体教学的种种功能设置,是一项非常繁琐的工作,教师为了使画面漂亮些,文字富于变化些,往往在某项设置上反复运行演示,花费了大量的时间。

网络多媒体技术与英语教学

网络多媒体技术与英语教学 发表时间:2009-11-18T10:30:41.513Z 来源:《中外企业家》2009年第5期下供稿作者:薛小妹(西安欧亚学院,西安 710065) [导读] 随着网络时代的到来,信息技术已逐步深入到各个领域 摘要:随着网络时代的到来,信息技术已逐步深入到各个领域,并在各个领域发挥了越来越重要的作用。那么,在现代教育中,通过网络多媒体技术辅助教学已经越来越引起教育者的关注。通过分析英语教学与网络的关系,网络时代对英语教学提出的新的要求,发现网络多媒体技术在英语教学中的优点,提出可将网络多媒体技术应用于英语教学的观点,并提出了应该注意的问题。 关键词:网络多媒体技术;课程整合;课件教学;英语教学 中图分类号:G424 文献标识码:A 文章编号:1000-8772(2009)10-0179-02 一、英语与网络的关系 英语作为吸取人类文明成果和对外交流的重要工具,能否有效地提高质量将直接影响我国综合国力和国际竞争能力的增强。因此如何调动学生学习英语的热情,使他们全身心地投入到英语学习中去,是我们全体英语老师必须思考的一个重要问题。在当今信息社会,计算机已被认为是现代人不可缺少的基本技能。而当今的学生对于电脑、对于网络有着空前的热情,这是由于网络作为全球信息中心的特性所决定的。而想要真正地、充分地享受网络所带给我们的好处、便利和乐趣,掌握英语这门语言,是驶上Internet这条信息高速公路的必要的交通工具。反之,网络无所不包的特性,又为英语学习者提供了广阔的学习天地。因此,作为一个英语教师,如何把这两者紧密的联系起来,是摆在我们所有教师面前的一个重要课题。 二、网络多媒体技术在英语教学中的优点 “多媒体课件”简单来说就是老师用来辅助教学的工具,创作人员根据自己的创意,先从总体上对信息进行分类组织,然后把文字、图形、图像、声音、动画、影像等多种媒体素材在时间和空间两方面进行集成,使它们融为一体并赋予它们以交互特性,从而制作出各种精彩纷呈的多媒体应用软件产品。多媒体课件教学具有以下几个优点: 1.大大增加了课堂知识容量,提高了课堂效果。传统教学中课堂知识的传播主要来源于教师的口授与黑板板书,这两者速度的局限性限制课堂信息含量,使之具有一定的局限性。而通过多媒体课件,教师把课堂的主要内容,要点,通过投影让学生掌握,大大节约了黑板板书时间,让学生一目了然。 2.影音媒体的应用使课堂丰富多彩。传统教学中信息的传播依赖于老师的语言和板书,再会调动课堂气氛的教师也有疲惫的时候,而课件教学中影音媒体的应用却大大调动了课堂气氛。 3.课件教学能有效的解决教学难点。在教学中遇到比较抽象的知识点时,单凭老师的讲解会显得枯燥乏味,或有些知识凭老师的叙述,学生无法清晰的理解。这时候课件教学却能收到奇特的效果。 三、英语教学中网络课件的应用 网络教学其教学活动的组织不可能仅仅依托网络,而是在传统的课堂、网络等方面同时展开。具体到我们所设计的教学课件中,其在教学过程中的使用主要为以下三个方面: (一)课堂辅助教学过程 当网络多媒体课件应用于常规的课堂教学时,和我们以往所使用的多媒体辅助教学课件的功能基本是相同的。在这里我依然想简单地陈述一下使用时应注意的几个方面: 1.教师应发挥其主导作用。在英语课堂上,教师所具有的很多作用是计算机的功能所不可取代的。师生之间课堂上互动性的交流是最有效的教和学的途径。因此,英语课堂上开始时的Free Talk、Duty Report,及师生之间的口头交流依然保留,教师仍然应该是整个教学活动的组织者和灵魂。媒体始终应该是教师教学活动的辅助设备,是处在被支配的地位,只有将教师的理念和创造性赋予其中,才能真正显示出其活力。 2.发挥学生的主体性。我们在制作课件时,应充分体现学生的主动性和创造性,多为学生创造思考的空间。这就要求教师在使用多媒体辅助教学系统时,要善于通过多媒体教学系统引导学生思考、讨论、回答问题,而不是限制学生的思维,被动地跟着老师走。 (二)评价反馈自主学习过程 当课堂教学进行到了一定程度,学生们对本课内容、情境有了基本认识之后,下一步,开始让学生在学校自己上网,复习、补充、验证自己课堂学习效果。因为在最初课件制作中,我们已经将所有的教学目标,课文内容讲解、分析、录音、习题,课外补充知识等都放在了课件之中,所以,学生们只要登陆上网站,就可以自主地选择学习内容、方式,学习在课堂上未能完全理解、接受的知识体系。对于其不理解的问题,即可以直接向教师提问,也可以在BBS上留言进行讨论或等待教师回答。 (三)网络研究性学习过程 比如在我所设计的“Dealing with Aids”一课中,加入了很多关于本课的课外知识内容,及一些扩展知识相关网站的超级链接,并且根据教学需要调整了相应BBS内容,以便于师生们通过BBS实时进行交流讨论。 在对课本基础知识有了较完整理解后,由任课教师提出研究性课题内容“Nowadays How about the sex education in China?”要求学生分小组上网浏览查找相关内容,将自己的论点、论据整理起来,供大家研究。最后,还要请同学们上来用口头语言表达,以达到想、说、写同时训练的目的。 四、值得注意的问题 (一)唯网至上 网络引进教育教学,有目共睹的网络给教育教学带来了一次深刻的革命,但它不能代替学生的操作、实践等活动,也不能取代教师的地位,它只是一个帮助我们认识世界的好工具。 (二)操作技能 网络是一把锋利的双刃剑。师生操作技能的高低直接影响到教学效果的好坏,加强网络技术操作技能的培养十分重要。教师素质的提

巧用多媒体课件 激活小学英语教学3页

巧用多媒体课件激活小学英语教学 为了贯彻教育部“通过教育信息化来带动教育现代化,实现基础教育新跨越式发展”精神,信息技术与英语学科整合已经受到越来越多小学一线教师关注。在短短几年里,计算机辅助教学已经悄然走进小学英语课堂,这无疑给小学英语教学改革注入了新活力。教师们尝试使用PowerPoint、Authorware、Flash与交互式电子白板等软件来设计多媒体教学课件并实践运用,这迅速改变着传统课堂教学模式,建立起了一种听说读写玩演唱结合多媒体辅助教学模式。那么,怎样让“多媒体课件”在小学英语教学中做到不仅仅是一种赶时髦“作秀”,而真正体现小学英语课堂教学容量大、信息多、趣味足、效率高特色呢?本文拟结合江苏译林版《牛津小学英语》“6B Unit3 Asking the way”多媒体课件运用及反思来深入剖析。 【运用实录】 江苏译林版《牛津小学英语》“6B Unit3 Asking the way” 主要围绕“问路”这一话题展开各项语言活动,学习问路中常涉及相关用语及词汇。要求学生不仅能掌握各知识点,还能对各知识点进行综合运用,构建自己新知识结构体系。本多媒体课件针对小学六年级学生年龄特点,应用Flash MX制作而成,在设计时力求达到寓教于乐效果,具有良好动画效果,图像质量高,而且采用矢量图像,动画体积小,输出文件下载速度快,画面流畅。学生输入网址可直接进入主网页。为方便学生自主选择学习内容,在主页设置了一个主菜单,分六大模块: Song1,Expressions,Song2,Drills,Exercises,Game。同时每页均以苏州地图作为背景,设置了返回主菜单、返回上页、进入下页与重播等相关按钮,学生可以根据需要随机选择学习入口与出口,主动控制信息流向及内容,有利于学生主体作用发挥。 1.Song1模块 画面出现随音乐内容做动作卡通人物,形象直观,学生可看着画面边做动作边唱已学过歌“Do some exercises with me”,歌中唱到“Turn left, turn right”是本课重点词组。熟悉曲调激发了学生浓厚学习兴趣,又活跃了课堂气氛,为网络学习做下铺垫。 2.Expressions模块 在学生面前出示一张地图(a map of a town),涵盖了本课所涉及词汇,点击6个建筑物,2个路标,2辆公交车任意一个,会放大出示拍摄处理苏州市相关实景照片,贴近生活亲切画面,引起了学生极大兴趣与好奇心,每幅图均配以原声标准读音及文字书写。使学生在了解本课教学目标同时,产生一种强烈想法:我要用英语来描述我家乡――“我要学”。此时学生可戴上耳机随意点击听标准读音跟读,根据自己掌握情况反复点Read键播放直至完全掌握,省去了传统教学中学生盲目大量枯燥、机械跟读。学生在这一环节中兴趣盎然地习得了新知识,本课难点在此突破,提高了教学效率,有个性,有自由度。 3.Drills模块 学生就四幅地图进行问路对话,有难有易,可自由选择其一来演一演。若遇到困难时可带着疑惑点Model键,听示范音,语言交流就变得毫无障碍;若有余力时可赶超示范音,来个人脑与电脑大比拼,更好地拓展知识点。这很好地解决了一个教师不能同时辅导全体学生问题,学生得到了网络一对一帮助。此过程要求学生来“反馈”,不但用英语讲,而且用英语想,学生语言组织能力与运用能力得到了有效训练与培养。 4.Exercises模块 有了前面听、说、读训练,根据学生水平设置了两套拓展练习题Listen and number与Read and write供学生进行在线考试,在答题过程中可随时修改答案,检查完毕后按End键提交阅卷,计算机会给出正确答案及获得成绩。教师对满意自己表现学生予以鼓励,若不满意自己表现学生课后还可重复再来练习。这样,学生练习深度与广度得到了全面体现,及时反馈能让学生随时纠正学习误差,成绩再现又能激励与调动学生内在能动性。教师在学生活动中也能立即得到信息,

多媒体辅助英语教学之利与弊

多媒体辅助英语教学之利与弊 一、使用多媒体实行英语教学的优势 1.使用多媒体教学手段,创设真实的学习情境,激发学生的学习兴趣 心理学研究表明:人们从外界获得的知识信息80%是通过人的视觉从图像中获得。同一事物如果只用单纯的符号或文字理解需要10 秒的时间,用图画理解需要一半的时间,用逼真的图像只需三分之一的时间。利用多媒体教学就能够达到这种事半功倍的效果。如作者在讲授牛津8A NUIT6 Natural Disasters这个单元时,我有选择地搜集一些相关台风、海啸、雷电、暴雨、暴雪等方面的材料,如发生的原因、造成的破坏以及人们是如何去面对这些灾害,最终战胜这些灾害的文字材料或视频片段,让学生对这些灾难有一个全面的理解。接下来在学习“Reading”时,采用“flash”动画来模拟事情发生的全过程,并把文中的重点句式或短语表现在对应的画面上,同时鼓励学生根据图像和所给的关键词去描述事件发生的经过。这种身临其境的教学过程缩短了教学与现实的距离,收到了意想不到的教学效果。 2.使用多媒体教学手段,增大课堂信息量,提升课堂效率 随着多媒体教学技术的引入,利用计算机、投影仪、大屏幕等辅助教学手段,不但能节约宝贵的课堂时间,增加课堂信息量,同时也减轻了老师和学生的负担,充分调动了学生的主动性和积极性,增大了单位时间内课堂信息量,为每位学生提供了更多语言实践机会,提升了课堂效率。 如作者在讲授7B NUIT1 Dream Homes 时,按照以下步骤来安排教学活动:①导入,播放一段flash 动画,并向学生介绍这就是我自己的“Dream Home”,然后请学生们也谈一谈自己的“Dream Homes”,在活动中愉快地导入新课;②学习单词,体现给学生一幅世界地图,并提出问题“What countries do youknow in the world?”依此来复习、学习“China、France、the USA、Japan、Thailand、the UK、Russia”等相关国家的英文名称。之后把“Mount Fuji、the State of Liberty、The Eiffel Tower、Big Ben 、Saint Basil s Cathedral”的图片依次表现给学生,并提出问题“Which country doesthe landscape belong to?”学生很快就能给出准确答案。利用这种图文并茂的多媒体教学手段,生词的学习也变得轻松自如……这样的一节课,不但节奏快、信息量大,还为学生提供了大量图文并茂的学习资料,使学生的听、说、读、写得到了最大限度的训练,极大地提升了课堂效率。 3.使用多媒体教学手段,培养学生的阅读技巧,拓展学生视野 多媒体教学手段能有效地提升阅读速度与质量,同时也能让学生掌握一定的阅读技巧。我的通常做法是:平时上网浏览一些知名的网站、报纸或杂志,如“中学英语教学资源网”“中学英语网”“21世纪英语教育周刊”“英语大课堂”等,把其中一些较好的学习资源存入电脑,包括新闻、海报、日记、人物传记、科普知识、各种小故事等多种体裁的文章。教学时根据实际情况表现给学生,有时是整篇文章,有时是故事梗概,有时甚至是一则新闻的标题,同

多媒体在高中英语教学中的有效应用

多媒体在高中英语教学中的有效应用 发表时间:2012-06-28T09:27:46.137Z 来源:《中学课程辅导·教学研究》2012年第11期供稿作者:段美玲[导读] 多媒体在高中英语教学中的积极作用是显而易见的,它优化了英语课堂教学,提高了英语教学效率,也促进了教师的发展。 摘要:多媒体在高中英语教学中的积极作用是显而易见的,它优化了英语课堂教学,提高了英语教学效率,也促进了教师的发展。但在实践教学过程中,部分教师很难掌控对多媒体的应用,运用不当或滥用,正不知不觉地损害着英语课堂教学。如何掌控对多媒体的应用,进而达到“最优”的教学效果,本文根据笔者自身实践做出了一些讨论。关键词:多媒体;高中英语教学;有效应用;辅助作用 21世纪是一个经济腾飞、社会迅速发展的时代,也是一个数字化、信息化的时代。与此同时,教育教学也在不断的改革,而多媒体教学已成为教学现代化的明显标志。作为一种现代化、信息化的教学手段,多媒体在高中英语教学过程中因其独特的魅力而深受广大教师的喜爱。能否熟练地在教学中运用多媒体甚至已成为评价课堂质量和教师的重要规范之一。多媒体本身就具有形象性、直观性、应用面广、信息量大、学问构造新、效率高等特性,而高中英语教学本身就具有容量大、素材丰富的特点和具备听、说、读、写的要求,因此多媒体对提高英语教学效率、促进英语教学质量的确发挥着重要的作用。于是在英语课堂中,教师们会大量地使用多媒体,可是很多时候教师并不能真正有效地运用多媒体,很多时候在滥用,有时甚至根本没有必要的状况下仍然使用多媒体,这恰恰违背了我们使用多媒体的初衷,使得英语课堂失去了活力,学生的主体作用得不到发挥,干扰了学生学习的主动性和发明创造性。那么,在高中英语教学中如何有效运用多媒体,从而获得“最优”的教学效果呢?笔者以为要做到如下几点: 一、正确理解多媒体在英语教学中的辅助作用 多媒体在教学中的本质是助手。它就如我们在教学时要用到的黑板、粉笔和黑板擦或者录音机一样,在恰当的时候发挥到关键作用。因此要谨防以下几个误区: 1.发挥好教师的主导作用,别让教师成了“放映员” 师生之间在课堂上的互动交流是最有效的教和学的途径。在课堂教学过程中,教师的一个笑容、一个手势、一个简单的动作,在进一步的教学效果中都会起着重要的作用。教师应该依据教学需求正确运用多媒体,课堂能够没有多媒体,但不能没有教师。 2.别让学生失去教学的主体地位 学生在教学过程中占有主体地位。新课程改革下的高中英语教学提倡发挥学生的主体地位,课堂教学是师生互动、共同探求、共同创新的过程。教师应引导学生多思善问,使学生在循循善诱下主动、活泼地参与学习。课堂是舞台,教师是导演,而学生是舞者。只有在教师不断的引导下,学生积极参与动脑想、动手写、用嘴说的过程,教学才有层层递进的收获。 3.别让课件太花哨,分散学生的注意力 多媒体能运用图、形、声、色并茂的方式来展现传统教学手段中所不能展现的内容,但是优质的课件不在于有几十张精美的图片,几个可爱的动漫和几段精彩的视频,而在于精简,要突出教学主题,有重点、难点,达到艺术性和教育性的有机统一。过分花哨的课件,反倒会分散学生注意力,浪费课堂有效时间,起到相反的作用。 4.教师千万别让课件代替了备课 备课是整个教学过程的总筹划和总设计。教师备课的过程也是学习、研讨的过程。俗话说“活到老,学到老”,教师更是如此。因为每一年所面对的都是不同的学生,不同的素材。因此,绝不能让简单的“下载——剪贴——复制——组合”的过程来代替原本教师对教材教法的研究探索过程,这样也就扼杀了教师不断自我提升的机会。 二、结合高中英语教学的实际情况有效运用多媒体 1.利用多媒体提供多层次的英语教学,能有效利用有限的教学时间和空间 比如,高中英语教学中,阅读课是每个单元中的关键部分,但是课文篇幅较长,容量较大。而每个班的学生英语水平又参差不齐。这时,教师就可以适当利用多媒体,设计不同层次的问题和练习,层层递进,让每个层次的学生都能在轻松愉快的情境中练习、思考。一般来说,第一层的问题是在介绍课文背景或者听完课文后提出的一些简单的问题,目的是照顾比较差一点的学生,并让他们对课文感兴趣;第二层是设计与文章内容相关的题目,目的是解决重、难点知识问题,照顾中等学生;第三层是要稍微动脑筋的思考性练习,目的是照顾优秀学生。这种多层次的练习,让差生“吃得了”,中等生“吃得好”,优等生“吃得饱、吃得好”。 2.当课题比较抽象和新颖,或对学生来说比较陌生时可以很好地利用多媒体 新课程改革下的高中英语课本中素材很丰富,可以说是上至天文,下至地理,近到你周围的人或物,远至国外的某个城市。城市学生不了解农村的情形,而农村孩子也许不知道城市的发展状况。因此,尤其在新课程的导入过程中可以很好地利用多媒体来激发学生的兴趣,在教学中给学生更直观的阐述。 总之,多媒体是科技进步的产物,是现代化的标志之一。如何使之成为教师的好助手,进一步帮助我们打造高效课堂值得每一位一线教师深思,切不可因使用不当而致使文明进步的产物起了反作用。 作者单位:陕西省安康市石泉中学邮政编码:725299

(完整版)多媒体辅助英语教学

多媒体辅助英语教学 摘要:新时代的英语教师如何能合理的、恰当的,广泛的运用多媒体辅助英语教学,可以引发学生浓厚的学习英语兴趣,激发他们的求知欲,确实能提高英语课堂教学效率。本文通过阐述多媒体及英语课堂教学的特点,探索使用多媒体辅助手段对英语课堂教学的整合与课堂时间的使用效率,改变了传统的英语教学模式,提高英语教学的水平。 关键词:多媒体;英语教学;整合 为了让大多数学生学会英语、学好英语,把学习英语当成一件有趣的事情。课堂45分钟远远不够,新时代的英语教师如何能合理的、恰当的,广泛的运用多媒体辅助英语教学,可以引发学生浓厚的学习英语兴趣,激发他们的求知欲,确实能提高英语课堂教学效率。因此,我从以下几个方面将多媒体教学与英语课堂教学进行了整合。 一、多媒体课件与单词、句型 图、文、声并茂,生动聚一体。有利于激发学生的学习热情,它具有直观性、形象性和生动性的特点,为英语课堂提供了逼真的视听效果、创造了真实的语

言情境,营造了轻松的学习氛围。如在冀教版第一册unit3:Body and Feelings中,在学习以下这些单词:face,tooth,mouth,ear,eye,finger,back,leg,foot,arm,nose时,我让学生看视频听课文歌曲,边唱边学,边指边说,很轻松的就学会了。这样极大的吸引了学生的注意,把枯燥的单词变得生动有趣,下一节英语课前,学生们都唱起了这首英文歌,巩固效果特别好。 二、多媒体与语法及语言学习意境 传统的英语教学,都是教师辛辛苦苦地讲,学生被动的记笔记,反复地背例句,乏味地听讲解,忽视了对学生审美能力的培养。而多媒体辅助教学则以它丰富多样的形式――声音、图片、动画、音乐、视频等手段充分调动学生多种感官并积极参与思维与互动,教师可以采用多样化的电教手段弥补传统教学的枯燥乏味,给英语课堂注入新的活力,努力培养学生的审美能力与情趣。在语法教学中可以把语言和形象联系起来,通过多种感观获取信息,如在教现在分词和过去分词的区别时,设计几组flash进行对比,正在下落的树叶(falling leaves)与一落地的树叶(fallen leaves);一轮冉冉升起的红日(a rising sun)与一轮已经升起的太阳(a risen sun);发展中国家(developing

浅谈多媒体与英语教学的结合

浅谈多媒体与英语教学的结合 近年来,多媒体技术在英语教学中已被广泛使用。她新颖生动,感染力强,是一种颇具模拟性与启发性的教学手段。它不但容易激发学生的学习兴趣,诱发学生的学习动机,而且还可以打破时间和空间的限制,能够让学生清楚地看见事物发展的全过程,使枯燥的知识趣味化;抽象的语言形象化;深奥的道理具体化。它对于全面提高学生的能力,培养学生的素质有着不可估量的作用。在英语教学中适时,适量地运用多媒体创设多样的教学情景,不仅可以化难为易,化抽象为具体,激发学生的学习兴趣,使学生快快乐乐学英语,而且有利于学生想象力,创造力的发展。 现代教育技术――多媒体课件在英语教学中的应用,为英语教学带来了质的飞跃,它通过利用计算机对文字、图像、声音、动画等信息进行处理,形成声、像、图、文并茂的教学系统,进行视、听、触、想等多种方式的形象化教学。打破了传统的教学模式,既符合学生的认知规律,又促进了学生思维的多向发展。有了多媒体,教师可以结合教材,挖掘教材,制作课件,从多角度、多方位设计各种游戏、竞赛、问题,发展学生横向、类比联想等思维,使学生在理解和掌握所学内容的基础上,还能就自己所学的各种知识,结合英

语去创造、去探索,培养创新思维,增强创新能力。 运用多媒体创设情景,激发学习兴趣。爱因斯坦说:“兴趣是最好的老师。”皮亚杰说:“所有智力方面的工作都要依赖兴趣。”而色彩、形象、动作、声音等是最容易引起学生本能的兴趣的。多媒体正是综合了图形学、图像处理、影视艺术、音乐美术、教育学、心理学、人工智能、信息学、电子技术学等众多学科与技术的一门技术,它集文字、图形、图像、声音、视频影像、二维三维动画等各种信息于一体,能充分调动人们的视觉和听觉处理功能,具有人机交互、立即反馈的特点,所提供的外部刺激也是多样的。运用多媒体进行英语教学可以使学生的听力与视觉同时接受刺激,激发学生的兴趣。学生怀着愉快的心情和探索的兴趣去学习新知识,加上栩栩如生的画面形象,能更好更快的理解,训练了学生思维的灵活性。 如:在教学三年级《At the zoo》这一单元时,如果按照传统教学带领学生拼读就难免枯燥,而运用多媒体计算机技术制作动画课件,在学生面前展示出动物园的画面,给学生创设了一个鲜活的动物园场景,让学生的无意注意变为有意注意,并加入不同声音,让学生先听声音猜动物,继而呈现动物,再打出单词,最后让学生亲自操作电脑画几只小动物,边画边念。这一动画情景的创设,使抽象、枯燥的单词具体化,形象化了,大大吸引了学生的注意力,从而让其

利用多媒体辅助旅游英语课堂教学的实践 一、运用多媒体计算机辅助教学的必要性 初次接触高职高专学生,感觉他们大部分基础都很差,词汇量比较小,教学内容只能理解和掌握一部分,对老师的提问没有勇气回答,甚至连学过的课文也没有几个同学能准确流利地读下来,课堂气氛很不活跃。多媒体计算机辅助教学手段具有传统英语教学所不可比拟的直观性、交互性、高效性和因材施教性,在课堂教学中适当地使用计算机多媒体辅助教学系统既能较便利地展现感性材料,创设最佳情境,又能激发学生的学习兴趣,充分调动学生的积极性,还可以优化教学过程、加大信息量的传授、提高教学质量从而获得最佳的教学效果。因此将多媒体计算机辅助教学手段的应用已经成为现代高职教学的特征和发展趋势,它给课堂注入了新的活力,有利于全方位地在英语教学中体现交际语言教学的原则。 二、研发适合高职学生的教学软件,提高多媒体辅助教学水平 1、把握学生实际状况,注重教学软件的实效性和辅助性。 布鲁纳曾说:“教学过程是一种提出问题和解决问题的持续不断的活动”。因此,我们应多为学生创造思考的空间。这就要求教师在制作课件时,应注意要符合学生的认知水平、视听能力和兴趣爱好等,做到中心明确,重点突出,层次分明,并注重于启发学生应用知识去分析问题,创造性地解决问题以及学生是否易学、易用等,否则有可能无法实现教学目标,甚至给教学活动带来负面影响。所以课件设计应当简洁明了,美观大方,注重实效性和辅助性。 2、巧妙设计网络多媒体教学,能让每个学生都得到发展。 传统教学是老师讲,学生听。这样对不同层次、不同基础的学生来说,就存在很大差异,且老师在讲课过程中,不可能照顾到每个学生,而自制力差的学生,就要走神、听不进去。要想让每个学生都能有所收获,就必须加强教材的弹性,但目前所有学生用的都是同一教材。多媒体教学软件会适合不同层次的学生,让每个学生找到适合自己的教材。教师可将素材按其内部的联系划分不同层次、不同关系的知识单元,然后用多媒体将这些单元组成一个具有超文本的系统整体,使学生可以选择感兴趣的部分进行学习,从而摆脱传统的线性学习方式的约束。 3、教学软件的制作必须充分展示教师的教学风格。 在教学过程中,教师往往形成了自身固有的,为学生所适应的教学风格。所以,在设计教学软件的过程中,教师应亲自创作,自然地把自身的风格融入课件中,体现自己的教育思想,又让学生易于接受,而不因使用多媒体,把本来简明的内容非要搞得花里胡哨,枝叶繁杂。这样只能使学生满头雾水,不知所措,也就背离了多媒体辅助教学的“辅助”本意,更弱化了教师在课堂教学中的主导作

多媒体在英语教学中的作用

多媒体在英语教学中的作用 我是一名英语教师。从事初中英语教学工作几年了,在我的印象中传统英语教学只注重英语知识及语法的传授,教学方式呆板,一直以来都是一本教材、一支粉笔、一台录音机,学生的任务似乎只是对单词和语法规则的死记硬背。通常都是老师说得多,学生听得头晕脑胀,越学越没劲,成绩越来越差。作为老师的我心里挺纳闷的:为什么我教得这样卖力,但学生却不感兴趣,无论语音,语调和语法都不过关?课堂气氛还是不活跃?直到这两年用上了电脑平台,我终于明白,也深深地体会到在英语课堂中使用多媒体的意义。一、利用多媒体技术,可吸引学生的注意力,激发学生学英语的兴趣 多媒体教学和课件把课文内容变得形象生动,有声有色,使学生产生了良好的兴趣和情趣。在英语教学中,利用多媒体创设情景,学生会在这样的环境中去听、去说、去表演,易懂、易记、易掌握,能使课堂教学形象化、趣味化、交际化,更能大大地调动学生学习积极性,使他们积极主动地、愉快地参与到教学活动中去。 例如:初一英语下现在进行时的教学中,一直以来是难以教会的,但可以运用多媒体课件把课文内容“动”起来,把对话设计成为动画图像,显示出正在进行。课文内容不再枯燥、死板,因而引发了学生的学习兴趣,教学就容易的多了。

再如,利用多媒体展示动物:dog,panda,lion,tiger,elephant,dolphin,用英语简要介绍它们的生活习性,使学生仿佛走进了动物园,亲眼目睹各种动物。多媒体具有它的直观性、形象性,这是其它任何教学手段无法比拟的。运用它能培养学生的观察、思维、想象、发现和创造等能力。动物图象的演示,把该单元的单词放在图文并茂的语言环境中去展现,进行分散、情景、理解记忆,用视、听、说并举的方式,省去了死记硬背的过程,学生通过口语交际,轻松识记。又如,介词的教学是个难点,用图片、实物都无法立体、有效、全方位地展示“on,in,under,beside,above,below”等介词的具体运用,为此我设计了多媒体课件来辅助教学。画面上先出现一个漂亮的房间,房间里有desk,bed,sofa等家具,还有apple,toy car,pen 等实物,一个小女孩进来找东西,配音“Where is my apple?”引导学生回答 “It is on the desk. ”“Where is toy car?”It is under the bed.”随着鼠标的点击,苹果、玩具车等随即出现在桌子上、沙发下,漂亮鲜艳的卡通画面配上充满童趣的标准发音,再加上实物不定位的真实移动,学生兴趣盎然,轻松自如地掌握了介词及其具体使用。 二、利用多媒体教学,增加学生实践的机会,培养学生的交际能力,

巧用多媒体优化英语教学

巧用多媒体优化英语教学 李明阳 (贵州省毕节地区黔西县,甘棠中学邮编:551514) [摘要]:在英语教学中,巧用计算机多媒体辅助教学能较形象生动地展现在学生面前,创设最佳情境,从而获得最佳的教学效果。因为多媒体是视频图像、音响、图形和课文进行多层次、多角度的融合。通过电脑的制作使图像、音响、图形和课文相互感应,从而达到理想的教学效果。当今,多媒体手段越来越广泛地被利用到我的英语教学中,为英语教师提供了最现代化的教学手段,优化了英语教学环境,使英语教学更加先进,我深刻认识到多媒体英语教学有着很多有声有色有效果的优势。当然,巧用多媒体辅助教学,运用物体颜色、动感、声音大小的对比,通过视觉、听觉、触觉等协同作用,对提高课堂教学质量与效率有极大的帮助。还能更广泛地激发学生的兴趣,培养学生的创新思维;创建英语教学氛围;突破英语的教学重点,化解英语的难点;增加英语的课堂信息量,提高教学效率;优化英语教学,培养学生爱学习的情绪, 从而提高了英语的教学质量,让我们更好地学好英语。 [关键词]: 巧用多媒体辅助教学兴趣情境信息量效率 随着教育信息化的发展,以计算机为核心的多媒体辅助教学正不断给英语课堂教学改革注入了新的活力。最初,多媒体课件辅助教学只是在优质课上、示范课上用,在普及素质教育的今天,多媒体辅助教学正以生动、形象、逼真的画面展现在学生的面前,尤其是英语课堂教学。真可谓是“踏破铁鞋无觅处,得来全不费工夫”。这无疑给英语课堂教学改革注入了新鲜的血液,为改变传统的注重认知、灌输、封闭的英语课堂教学模式提供了新思路,新理念,为新课程改革中提倡的主动参与、开放性的教学模式奠定了基础。多媒体辅助教学的渗透更好地为英语课堂教学创设了一个轻松和谐的教学氛围,寓教于乐,让学生主体性得到更大发挥,使学生积极参与,主动发展。当然,多媒体有很多很多的优点,然而,如果过多的滥用多媒体辅助教学,就会适得其反,过犹不及,违背了多媒体“辅助”教学的宗旨,让学生在课堂上只欣赏多媒体的声音和画面,导致课堂教学流于形式,不能达到教学的本质,真正发挥多媒体的内涵。所以,在英语课堂上我们教师要巧用多媒体辅助教学,让多媒体教学发挥出它的优势作用。下面就我十
