Vocabulary teaching is the most basic and fundamental content in Chinese teaching, and it is an important teaching task for students to understand the key words in the text effectively. Sometimes grasping one or two key words in the text can often have the effect of "pulling one hair and moving the whole body". However, looking at the current vocabulary teaching, our Chinese teachers always try their best to avoid or "slip away" or teach meticulously, and make a scientific and accurate interpretation from pronunciation to font to word meaning. Some teachers even ask students to copy and recite reference books or dictionaries to explain words, which is boring and lacks vitality. So, how to make word teaching interesting?

First, read aloud to make word teaching "sentimental"

As the saying goes, "Read it a hundred times and you will understand what you mean." Reading aloud is a complicated psychological process, which focuses on the eyes, comes from the mouth, smells in the ears and keeps in mind. It helps students to master the sound, shape and meaning of each Chinese character, deepen their understanding and perception of the meaning of the word, and sublimate their emotional experience, which plays an irreplaceable role in the formation and development of language.

Example: The teaching fragment of the fifth volume of Primary Chinese published by Pangu Tiankai People's Education Publishing House;

Teacher: Who can pronounce this word?

Health: moisturizing.

Teacher: The pronunciation is correct. Can you read this feeling and meaning?

Students are at a loss, so this kind of "writing teaching" may be the first time for them. )

Teacher: Look, what are the radicals of these two words?

Health: Sanshui.

Teacher: Yes, if there is more water, the dry autumn will become wet, everything will be wet, and people will be wet, so it will be comfortable! How do you read it?

Health: (qi) moistens. There is progress, but it is not "in place" and "tasteful" enough. )

Teacher: The voice is soft and comfortable.

Health: moisturizing. (The voice is soft and I feel comfortable. )

Although students can know the meaning of "run" through reference books, teachers can effectively guide students to read aloud, so that students can not only really remember the meaning of the word, but also understand its emotional color and know what kind of context it should be used in. At this time, "moistening" is not a dull word in their eyes. It is rich in water, symbolizing the revival of everything and bringing people a comfortable feeling. In this way, the abstract language symbols are turned into concrete things, which shortens the distance between students and language at once, makes students have feelings for language, and is conducive to students' profound understanding and "applying what they have learned".

Second, the performance, making word teaching "interesting"

Some people say, "Children are born actors." Indeed, primary school students especially like imitation and performance. Therefore, with the help of effective performance, students can gain personal experience and understand the abstract meaning of words through vivid gestures. This simple "preaching" or reference book will have a more profound and flexible effect. In the process of performance, students' minds will be released, their imagination will be displayed and their creativity will be developed.

For example, in the second paragraph of The Story of a Small Village, the sixth volume of Primary School Chinese published by People's Education Publishing House, "Whoever wants to build a house and build a plow will pick up an axe and climb the mountain ...", the word "carry" here expresses the mentality of the villagers in a small village to cut down trees at will. How to make primary school students feel the randomness behind the word "carry" and the author's regret and condemnation? We can create a situation for children to perform the villagers' "chopping trees up the mountain with an axe" and "chopping trees up the mountain with an axe" respectively. Through the comparison of actions, they will certainly feel the randomness and ignorance of the people in the small village at that time.

Third, demonstration, making word teaching "interesting"

The most intuitive, convenient and interesting way to understand words is demonstration. For example, when teaching "crows to drink water", write "gradually" in the sentence "the water rises gradually", and the teacher can make students understand the meaning through demonstration. The teacher threw the pebbles prepared in advance into a bottle filled with half a bottle of water one by one, and guided the students to observe the changes of the water surface carefully. When students see the water level in the bottle rising gradually, the teacher will dial it, and students will immediately understand the meaning of "gradually". In addition to the teacher's demonstration, students can also "demonstrate" themselves. For example, when teaching the "take turns" of the second grade "from now on", the teacher showed the word card: "Now, please ask the students in this vertical line to expel the words?" After the students finished reading, the teacher said, "Just now, one by one, how did you pronounce this word?" The teacher pointed to the word card, and the students got the message and replied, "Take turns."

Fourthly, multimedia makes vocabulary teaching "beautiful"

Using modern audio-visual media, the meaning and artistic conception expressed by words are intuitively reappeared in front of students, changing static into dynamic and abstract into image, so as to facilitate their accurate and vivid understanding. For example, the word "colorful" in the second paragraph of Autumn Rain, the fifth volume of Primary Chinese published by People's Education Publishing House, is very abstract, but when we teach this paragraph, "yellow ginkgo trees, red maple leaves, golden fields, beautiful chrysanthemums ..." can appear in due course. The children's surprised eyes, wide mouths and amazing voices tell us that they already know "colorful" at this time. You just need to ask them to think carefully: If you use one word to describe such a beautiful scenery and so many colors, which word would you use? There must be "colorful" in the words that the children shout out in unison.

Another example is the teaching of hieroglyphics, which can be displayed in front of students simply and clearly by using multimedia courseware. When teaching Japanese, a red and round sun first appeared on the screen. With the control of the mouse, the round red sun evolved into colorful "day" characters. Students' interest in literacy is stimulated, and this change from image to abstraction makes the originally abstract Chinese characters concrete and sensible. In the teaching of knowing words, the courseware is used to provide rich pictures, so students can understand the meaning of words only by looking at the pictures, without the need for teachers to talk more. If you teach the word "pen", a writing brush appears on the screen first, with a bamboo pole above and a nib below. Students can clearly see that the bamboo pole has become "bamboo" and the pen tip has become "Mao". They understood why "pen" is composed of bamboo prefix and hair, and firmly remembered the font of "pen".

Fifth, the game, let the word teaching "think"

"Games are children's psychological characteristics, games are children's work and games are children's lives." In word teaching, if teachers can properly use effective games, they will certainly stimulate children's interest in learning words, not only enhance the effect of learning words, but also cultivate students' various abilities and qualities. For example, a teacher designed a "word classification game" after teaching six new words in the first volume of primary school Chinese in People's Education Press.

Teaching preparation: a word card for "playing ball, tug-of-war, racket ball, high jump, running and playing football", one for two people at the same table.

Teaching methods:

1. Two people at the same table read the words correctly respectively.

2. Put similar words together and say why.

3. The classification method can be any one.

Health group 1: One kind is related to the movements of "hands" (playing ball, tug-of-war and racket ball), and the other kind is related to the movements of "feet" (jumping, running and kicking ball).

Health group 2: The word consisting of two words is a class (playing ball, tug of war, high jump and running), and the word consisting of three words is a class (playing ball and playing football).

Health Group 3: Those who belong to ball games belong to Class I (playing ball, patting the ball and playing football), while others belong to Class I (tug-of-war, high jump and running).

This "game" link not only reviews and consolidates six new words, but also guides students to think positively, correctly classify words and develop their logical thinking ability.

Of course, there are many ways to make vocabulary teaching interesting, but we should see the design concept behind the methods through the surface.

Highlighting humanity is the key to making word teaching interesting. Traditional word teaching only highlights its instrumental side, but fails to highlight its humanity, so it is more rigorous than warm. Word teaching can not only teach in detail, but also teach a deep humanistic concern, so that children can cultivate their emotions, cultivate their sentiments, improve their personality and develop harmoniously in the process of teaching new words.

As early as half a century ago, in the lesson "We Love Teachers" (Grade One) taught by Mr. Si Xia, this is how to guide children to understand the word "motherland":

Teacher: Do you know what "motherland" means? What is the "motherland"?

Health: The motherland is Nanjing. Many students laughed and knew that the motherland was not Nanjing. )

Teacher: Don't laugh. Is the motherland Nanjing? Don't! Nanjing is a city in our motherland, just like Beijing and Shanghai. Think again, what is the motherland?

Health: The motherland refers to a country. Students' understanding of the "motherland" has expanded a little, but it is still wrong. )

Teacher: Oh! Motherland refers to a country. Right?

Health: No! (The answer makes sense. )

Teacher: America is a country, and Japan is also a country. Can we say that America and Japan are our motherland? Because friends from America and Japan often come to our school for friendly visits, students are familiar with these two countries. )

Health: No!

Teacher: Then what is the motherland? Who can say that again?

Health: The motherland is our own country. After repeated inspiration, the students gradually understood. )

Shi Weining is right, the motherland is our own country. The country where our fathers, mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers and our ancestors have lived for generations is called the motherland. (emphasize that students are deeply impressed. )

So, what's the name of our motherland?

Health: Our motherland is called People's Republic of China (PRC) (PRC).

By the way, our motherland is called People's Republic of China (PRC). We all love our-

Health: (Qi) Motherland.

Zhu Guangqian, an aesthetic educator, said: "In words, in essence, it is in thoughts and feelings." . Our teacher is teaching Chinese (establishing accurate concepts of words), thinking (profound rigor) and being a man (infiltrating patriotic feelings). He truly achieved the integration of knowledge imparting, ability training, thinking training and emotional edification, and realized the harmonious unity of instrumentality and humanism. In this way, it will not only help students to understand, master and strengthen word knowledge, but also promote the formation of students' other abilities and qualities, develop their thinking, cultivate their sense of language, stimulate their interest and feel the wonderful language and culture of the motherland, thus making word teaching interesting.
