浸入式教学法对提高初中生听说能力的实践研究

摘要

“浸入式”教学法作为第二语言习得教学方法的一种，在国外语言及教学领域得到了深入的研究并得以推广和普及。很多研究显示，中国现有英语教育模式培养出的英语作为外语的学习者的英语口语和听力的水平远远低于英语作为母语者的水平。许多研究表明浸入式教学对学习者学习英语很有帮助，虽然这种教学方法在国外一些国家，如美国、加拿大被广泛应用在教学中，在我国的一些城市浸入式教学被更多的运用在幼儿园及小学学段，但是，我国在初中阶段相关的研究却很少。
　　本文通过对我校七年级学生进行“浸入式”教学的实证研究及结果分析，从听力和口语两方面验证了“浸入式”教学法对提高初中阶段学生英语听力和口语能力的有效作用。实验在两个平行班中进行，这两班被随机分为实验班和对照班。实验中，每个班都接受了a）听力前测;b）口语前测; c）两种不同的教学方法——一种是语法翻译法;另一种是浸入式教学法;d）4个听力理解测试;e）1个口语表达测试（基于口语前测，此每个为延时测试，延时为4周）。实验分成两个阶段。在第一阶段，实验班接受浸入式教学法，对照班接受语法翻译法。为了检验实验信度，阶段2中，实验班与对照班对调，即实验班变为对照班，对照班变为实验班，按照阶段1的步骤，进行新内容的教学和测试。
　　实验结果显示，浸入式教学有助于实验班进行听力理解和口语表达。但是，口语表达方面却也存在着明显的问题。最后，笔者提出了相应的教学启示。
