作为一名小学英语教师，笔者十分重视采用多种方式进行词汇教学，提升词汇教学效果。以下是笔者常用的几种方法。

一、儿歌记忆法

儿歌琅琅上口，便于记忆，因此利用儿歌记单词是小学生记忆单词的好方法。除了利用现成的英文儿歌外，教师还可以自编儿歌。例如，letter， litter, little三个词很容易混淆，于是，笔者编了这样一首儿歌——

Amy, Amy, a little girl,

Coming, coming, letter’s coming,

Look, look, she’s throwing.

I say, I say, No littering!

二、分类教学法

许多词组看似零散，事实上它们之间存在着联系。例如，公共标识的表达法有以下几类:

1.No+ving: No smoking! No parking！

2.Do not/Don’t+v（包括肯定、否定）: Keep off the grass! Be/Keep quiet! Do not/Don’t touch!

3. n: Danger!

在教授这些语法结构时，教师可先举例，然后引导学生观察并总结出规律，最后让学生根据规律说出更多的表达法。

三、灵活选择教学地点

教学时，教师在条件允许的情况下可以根据教学内容灵活选择教学地点。例如，笔者在教授单词exciting，excited及句型All the students are very excited. It’s very exciting.时便选择了在操场上进行教学。

笔者组织学生举行跑步比赛，并在比赛的过程中教授单词和句型。

T: What are you doing?

S: Running.

T: Yes. It’s very exciting. What does “exciting” mean?

(Write down on the blackboard: It’s very exciting.)

T: How do you feel now? Are you excited?

S: ...

T: You are very excited. We can say: all the students are very excited. What does “excited” mean?

(Write down on the blackboard: All the students are very excited.)

T: Can you understand “excited” and “exciting”? Can you give me some examples?

S:People are excited. Things are exciting.

Exciting和excited的含义和用法看起来很简单，但小学生经常由于分不清两个单词的用法而出错。如果教师能精心设计课堂活动，必将使学生加深对词汇的理解和记忆。
