游戏教学法在小学六年级英语课堂中的实施新探

颜洁兴

【摘要】很多人認为，游戏教学只适合于儿童时代的教学，因此，在语言的教学中，随着年龄的增长，“游戏”逐渐淡出了语言教学课堂。特别是六年级的英语教学，处境十分的尴尬：应试和升学的压力，使得语言的学习极具功利性，学生对于语言的学习，在很大的程度上都是为了考试。这里当然有历史和社会的原因，也是我们暂时无法改变的事实。问题是，如何在这样的背景下探索教学新路径，既能顾及学习中的情趣，又能有效地提高学生的应试能力？这是我们一线教师无时无刻都需要思考的问题。

目前，受应试制度影响，学生在英语学习中遇到的一个大问题就是词汇的记忆。虽然我们明确地反对“死记硬背”，而鼓励学生在篇章阅读、对话应用等具体环境下的语言运用来加强词汇的记忆，但功课的繁重、学习时间的分割，使得学生和教师在这个问题上无所适从。但下面这个课例却给了我们这样的提示：在六年级的英语课堂上，我们可以运用“游戏教学法”，有效地促进学生的语言学习与运用。在课堂的教学中，我们可以穿插一些经过精心设计的游戏来有效地提升学生对基础语言知识的记忆，以及使得语言的学习变得趣味十足，而不是枯燥无味。
