Abstract

"Marginal students" refers to those who are excluded, repressed or forgotten in classroom activities. They are easily overlooked by teachers because this situation only happens to a rather small number of students. However, negligence of the phenomenon of marginal students in middle school English classroom will undermine the principles and purposes of the new curriculum reform, which pays attention to promoting all-round developed students. From the perspective of students, this phenomenon is bound to infringe students mentally and physically. What’ worse, it does not conform to the cultivation of talents in modern society and severely deviates from the goal of education. Therefore, this paper is mainly about the analysis of the phenomenon of "marginal students" according to some surveys and observation of classroom teaching, trying to find its causes as well as proper remedies. Hopefully, a contribution can be made for more vivid and efficient English teaching in our middle schools.

Key words: causes;  countermeasures;  marginal students

摘 要

“边缘人”是指在课堂教学中遭排斥、受压抑或被遗忘的人。由于边缘人这种现象通常只在少数学生身上表现出来，故很容易成为教师忽略的对象。然而，这种情况不仅不符合新课改的精神要求，也无法促进学生的全面发展。另外，从学生角度而言，放弃在英语课堂上的锻炼和发展机会，不仅会影响学生的身心发展，而且也背离了现代社会对人才培养的要求，不符合教育事业发展的根本宗旨和目标。本文基于对课堂教学的深入调研和观察，尝试着对中学英语课堂的“边缘人”现象进行了深层次的分析和思考。通过对这类人群的表征分析，试图找出成因，对症下药，以期为中学英语课堂营造和谐、生动、有效的学习氛围做出应有的积极作用。
