The Application of Chant in the English Vocabulary Teaching in Primary School

Abstract  Chant is an important teaching material in the vocabulary teaching。 However, nowadays, in the regular English vocabulary class, teachers in primary schools often ignore the importance of chant, and pay too much attention to imparting meaning and usage of the words rather than helping students effectively remember new words。 88827

In order to establish a unitary mode to convey vocabulary knowledge and test the feasibility of chant teaching, two experiments and a questionnaire survey on the effects of chant in teaching among 92 primary school students are carried out。 The thesis came to a conclusion that it is quite effective to apply English chant as an aid in vocabulary teaching。 It inspires students’ learning interest and inner motivation。 English chant serves as effective language input, trains students’ pronunciation and creates a relaxing atmosphere in class。

Based on the research, English teachers are adviced to keep pace with the times and make full use of chant to run through the vocabulary teaching process so as to improve teaching efficiency and thus to help students to develop all-round as well。

歌谣在小学英语词汇教学中的运用

摘要 歌谣是词汇课堂中一种重要的教学素材。但是，在如今传统的词汇课堂上，仍有许多小学英语教师忽视歌谣的作用，仅重讲授词汇的意义与用法，而轻传授有效记忆单词的方法。

因此，为了克服单一的词汇传授现象以及让歌谣更好地融入到词汇教学中以发挥教学的功能，我们针对B小学的92名学生，展开了两次实验以及一次调查问卷。本文通过实验得出结论，在小学英语教学中运用歌谣辅助词汇教学是高效的，激发了学生的学习兴趣和内在动机，有效地进行语言输入，训练学生的语音，活跃了课堂气氛。源Q于D优G尔X论V文Y网wwW.yOueRw.com 原文+QQ75201`8766

基于这研究，对小学英语教师提出了一些相关的建议。在词汇教学中，英语教师应与时俱进，充分利用歌谣这一素材来提高教学效率以帮助学生全面发展。
