Effective methods of vocabulary teaching in senior high school

(A use of a variety of ways to present words to stimulate students' interest in learning vocabulary.

To stimulate students' interest in learning, teachers must adopt different methods suitable for students' personality and age characteristics in class to improve students' interest and teaching level.

First of all, when teachers explain vocabulary, if the teaching language is single and boring, students will inevitably feel bored. Therefore, in English class, if we combine explaining words with supplementing relevant knowledge, jokes, British and American English, idioms, proverbs and related words and allusions, we can not only enliven the atmosphere, stimulate students' interest, but also expand our knowledge and broaden our horizons. Secondly, in order to make students take the initiative in the whole process of English classroom learning and actively participate in classroom language practice, flexible teaching methods are required, and all kinds of methods that can arouse students' interest and fully mobilize their enthusiasm are used as far as possible.

(B) the use of contextual discourse to deepen students' understanding of vocabulary

Understand the content, it is easy to remember, the deeper the understanding, the stronger the memory. When teaching words, we should also teach students sound, form and meaning, so that students can have a comprehensive understanding of words, and the words taught can be presented in certain situations, which is more conducive to students' understanding and memory. Teaching words with abstract concepts in phrases, sentences or texts makes students' understanding of words concrete.

(C) the use of English word formation to expand students' vocabulary

Although English vocabulary is huge, it also has its own internal rules. Mastering the basic word formation can easily break through the difficulty of memorizing words. Root, prefix and suffix are the three elements of a word and the three keys to enlarge vocabulary. Affix is a derivative word. There are two kinds of English affixes: prefix and suffix, that is, prefix before the root and suffix after the root. Prefixes generally only change the meaning of words, not the part of speech. Associating affixes with previous words or roots helps to remember parts of speech and meanings. Suffixes not only change the meaning of words, but also change the part of speech of words. In teaching, teachers can help students summarize themselves every day, which can expand their vocabulary.

(4) Reproduce the words in a planned way and review and consolidate the vocabulary learned.

People's memory time is long and short. According to the law of human memory, the names of new things can be remembered after being repeated three to five times in a certain period of time. Therefore, in addition to adopting various effective methods, vocabulary teaching also has an important link, that is, review and consolidation. It is a common problem for middle school students to learn quickly and forget quickly in the process of English vocabulary learning. This is mainly because there is no timely review and consolidation. Systematic review can not only consolidate memory, but also deepen the understanding of the memorized words. It is necessary to systematically review words in various ways to help students.
