小学英语教学中边缘化学生的教育对策_英语论文

The Educational Solutions to Marginalized Students in Primary School English Teaching

摘要

随着现代信息技术——多媒体技术及网络技术的普及应用，以“学生为主体、教师为主导”的新型教学理论及教学模式的问世，我国小学英语的教育环境发生了质的变化，教育水平产生了新的飞跃。但如今，在教育领域，我们不得不面对这一尴尬现象:学习边缘化现象依然困扰着我们。因此，要实现真正意义上的教育水平的整体提高，就必须研究边缘化群体的学习现状、掌握其学习特征；找出边缘化现象滋生的根源以及蔓延的规律，并采取行之有效的措施，抑制其蔓延，力争将其消灭在萌芽状态。本文以课堂活动为背景，从教师角度提出了针对边缘化现象有效的改善方法。研究小学边缘化学生的课堂境遇，帮助他们走出 “边缘”状态，重新融入英语课堂学习活动之中，这是每一位英语师范专业的大学生都应该关注与深入思考的重要问题。

Abstract

With popularity and application of the modern information technology and the modern educational theory, the English educational environment in the elementary schools has taken fundamental changes and the educational levels have been greatly promoted. However, we have no choice but to be confronted with such an embarrassing fact: we are still nagged by the phenomenon of marginal groups among students. Therefore, in order to improve the teaching levels in the true sense, it is necessary to study the learning conditions of marginal groups and know their learning features well. Besides, we must find out the reasons why the marginalization phenomenon happens and the rules of its spread. Effective measures should be taken to inhibit the spread and to prevent marginalization from ever happening. Based on the background of classroom activities, this paper puts forward the effective countermeasures against the phenomenon of marginalization from teachers’ perspective. As English teaching major students, we should study the marginalized pupils’ adverse circumstances and try our best to help them get out of the “edge” state and reintegrate into English learning activities.
