First, junior high school English vocabulary teaching problems
1. Teachers don't realize the importance of vocabulary teaching.
The main purpose of junior high school English teaching is to enrich students' English vocabulary, but some English teachers are not aware of the importance of English vocabulary and its far-reaching influence on students' future study. They only know how to ask students to read and understand English short articles blindly, so as to exercise their listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities. This incorrect teaching method is easy to make students lose confidence in English learning. In fact, English words and application contexts are different from Chinese, and each word has a different Chinese meaning. Therefore, in English vocabulary teaching, teachers should explain the meaning of words to students in detail and ask students to expand their understanding of words. For words with complex meanings, teachers should classify them according to the content of the textbook, and arrange learning tasks for students at different levels to reduce their learning burden. For example, when "Fang" is used as a verb, it means "release, express and give", which means "attach importance to and trust". Teachers can explain its basic meaning and extended meaning, and introduce "putforward" and other related phrases, such as "nabangandtookitway someone put it in", thus expanding students' knowledge and deepening their understanding of "put".
2. Single teaching method
When learning English vocabulary, most junior high school students have no interest in learning. Instead of creating relevant teaching environment for students, teachers explain the words in textbooks in a boring way and lead students to practice listening and reading. This makes students very disgusted with this single teaching method. Coupled with unfamiliar English vocabulary, students will inevitably feel tired of learning. Therefore, when explaining vocabulary, teachers should recommend word shorthand to students, or share the tips of memorizing words with students. For long words, they can explain the composition of words for students, which is convenient for students to remember. For example, the basic translation of the word "pest" means pest, the English pronunciation is [pest], and the Chinese pronunciation can be "shoot him to death", which means "people want to shoot him to death when faced with harmful things". This humorous explanation helps students to remember the meaning and pronunciation of words quickly and is worth learning by teachers.
Second, junior high school English vocabulary teaching countermeasures
1. With teaching props
Junior high school students are curious, and teachers can use teaching AIDS to enliven the classroom atmosphere and stimulate students' interest in learning. As long as teachers can master the methods to stimulate students' learning motivation, they can cultivate students' good learning attitude and urge them to devote themselves to English learning.
Look for similar words
There are thousands of English words, and it is inevitable that there will be words with similar letter combinations and the same pronunciation. Teachers can make full use of students' interest in similar things, summarize English words and explain related words or several phrases composed of words in a unified way. For example, when teaching "ally", teachers can extend some similar words, such as "ally, rally, ALLY, ALLY" for students to learn; When teaching the words "one, one", teachers can combine them to teach the meaning of "someone".
3. Learning vocabulary in context
Context not only refers to the environment in which textbooks read articles, but also reflects the current social development. Words are meaningful only when they are integrated into different contexts, so teachers should combine context theory with vocabulary learning, which is conducive to strengthening students' memory of vocabulary. In addition, teachers should also guide students to understand the emotional color contained in each vocabulary, so as to use it flexibly in different occasions, so that students can better master English vocabulary and cultivate their communicative competence. For example, when teaching the word "care", the author extended the meaning of the word and illustrated the phrases related to care with examples to let students know the usage of care in different contexts. For example, "You must take care of yourself" and other sentences.
Three. Concluding remarks
The importance of English vocabulary cannot be ignored. Teachers must keep their teaching tasks in mind, make full use of professional knowledge, show more English words and expressions to students, create appropriate teaching situations and improve students' learning motivation. The author believes that after teachers change their teaching methods, they will definitely improve the quality of junior high school English vocabulary teaching and make more students fall in love with English.
