猜测游戏在初中英语教学中的应用研究

摘要随着经济技术的发展，英语显然已经成为当今商业世界应用最为普遍的语言。英语学习的重要性日渐突出，甚至在当今社会掀起了一股英语学习的热潮。随之而来的是越来越多的英语学习者对更有效的英语教学方式的呼求，因为好的教学方法能够带来的直接影响就是学习效率的提高。随着对教学方法的探究不断深入，许多学者发现将游戏与教学相结合就是一种提高学习效率的良好途径。

基于前人的研究，本文作者在梳理了其理论成果之后，选取了众多了教学游戏类型中的猜测游戏，借助实习期间在西溪中学开展的关于该种游戏在初中英语课堂的案例研究，了解猜测游戏在初中英语教学中的应用情况。作者首先选取了七年级的四个班的学生以及十位有十年以上的英语教学经验的英语教师作为研究对象，通过发放调查问卷以及访谈的形式了解他们对于在英语教学中应用猜测游戏的看法。再结合从这十位英语教师那里收集的五十份课件，分析得出猜测游戏在平时英语教学中的应用情况。除此之外，对访谈记录的分析以及作者自身对英语课堂的观察，作者还发现了该种游戏在具体的应用过程中所存在的一些问题，并对其背后的原因进行了探讨。

通过此次的调查研究，作者再一次地审视并验证了猜测游戏对于英语教学的意义所在。但是在此次的研究中所发现的问题同样也值得引起我们的高度重视。本文作者希望通过对猜测游戏在初中英语课堂的英语情况的研究与分析，了解其对于英语教学的实用性以及其在运用过程中存在的问题。通过这些问题的揭露启发更多学者对其背后的原因进行更深入的探讨，以期对今后在教学中如何规避类型问题有些许启示或帮助。源Q于D优G尔X论V文Y网wwW.yOueRw.com 原文+QQ75201`8766
