In recent years, phonics begins to be frequently used in primary school English teaching in China.

The core problem of this study is to explore the application of phonics in primary school English teaching. In the study, first, the definition and contents of phonics are introduced. Then, this study collects the real classroom phonics teaching methods and gives simple evaluations. After that, some problems in its application are put forward. At last, this paper tentatively offers some suggestions to solve these problems. This paper aims to provide primary school English teachers with some useful referential opinions about teaching phonics.48280

 自然拼读法在小学英语教学中的应用研究

摘要自然拼读法作为一种帮助英语学习者学习拼读、拼写的英语教学工具，在以英语为母语的国家中被长期广泛提倡和应用。自然拼读法帮助学生建立起了英语字母或字母组合与语音之间的相应关系，旨在培养学生“见词能读，听词可写”的能力。近年来，它开始被频繁应用于中国的小学英语课堂中。

本研究的核心是探讨自然拼读法在小学英语课堂教学中的应用问题。在研究的过程中，笔者给出了自然拼读法的定义和其包含的内容，搜集了自然拼读法在小学英语课堂中的具体运用实例，并结合最近发展区，兴趣动机，情感过滤等理论对其应用做出一定的评价，此外，笔者还提出了一些自然拼读法应用中的问题，并就此提出了一些意见建议，希望对小学英语自然拼读法教学提供一定的参考。
