7、three years.During my teaching of recent years,I have found there are many problems students are faced in memorizing English words.Now Ill finish my further education in Gansu Central Radio and TV University Wu Wei Branch.I hope I can solve the problems which have troubled me for some theory into pr
8、actice,which I learned from Gansu Central Radio and TV University Wu Wei Branch.2.Summary of the preliminary research 2.1 Problem The problem I face during my teaching is that it is hard for my most students to memorize English words.some students cant memorize words.While some students cant leave t
9、he words they have memorized in their minds 第 4 页 for long time.I try to use my knowledge that I have studied in Gansu Central Radio TV University.to help them solve the problems.2.2 Problem analysis Cause analysis In my teaching,I think the problem analysis have mainly three reasons:Firstly,because
10、 my students are children of farmers.Families dont speak English.My students think it to be not familiar.secondly,we cant often speak English in my day life.They think that it is useless to learn English,its enough to learn Chinese well.Students dont realized international form.Thirdly,some of stude
11、nts felt over loaded because of the heavier homework assignments.Some students dont want to memorize English words,because it takes too much time to memorize English words,and they are forgetful.Observation In my teaching,I found the problem analysis have two reasons:Some students dont have interest
12、s in learning English.So they spending little time in remembering English words;第 5 页 Some students hardly not only read English texts,but also cant use English words that they have learned to write articles,So they cant remember words easily.As we all know,a good speaker needs to be able use accura
13、te spelling,meaningful punctuation,appropriate vocabulary,correct grammar,clear handwriting and format,appropriate formality,as well as a variety of coherent sentence structures,and discourse and rhetorical conventions.While some superficial features are easy for our students to notice,the use of co
14、hesive devices needs to be emphasized.Cohesive devices play an important role in organizing sentences into a coherent text,so we will focus a little attention on them.Because all of them are based on English words.2.3 Project objective:In order to make students memorize words more quickly and easily
15、,improve students English level.2.4 Project hypothesis It is hypothesized that students speed of memorizing words is improved by all kinds of techniques 3.Project rationale A Combing several old words to become some new words.第 6 页 Finding two or more old words to memorize new words For example,“for
16、gettable,we can find“forgetand“table in it.“blackboard,classroom,butterfly and so on.B Through finding out some differences and similar of the two words to remember words.Finding out the differences and similar between old and new words,for example“light and right have only one letters difference C
17、Through thinking of words opposition to remember words.Face to new words,think of their opposite words,which are that we have learned.For example,when you learn“beneath,You can think of“on.Because“onis our acquainted words,and then you can remember it easily.D Through Chinese pronunciation helps us
18、memorize English words.For example,“vegetable can be imagined“Wo de chi bao.“Ambulance can be imagined“Wo bu neng si.And so the meanings of these words can be kept in my minds quickly.E Through writing short articles to memorize several words.Using several English words to write a short article.It c
19、an not only memorize words quickly,but also improve students writing abilities.When I taught the words of Lesson 1 第 7 页 Olympic Games Book Firstly,I made students use these words“ancient,modern Olympic medal,gold,silver,bronze,shooting,swimmer,race to imagine a passage,secondly,say it in Chinese,fi
20、nally,say it in English.These words can be remembered and they arent forgotten easily 4.Teaching work design I designed an adequate number of activities(Cover four weeks of teaching)to test the hypothesis.In my project,I decide to improve my teaching technique in six ways:Firstly I would teach stude
21、nts how to pronounce and master the role of pronunciation.Secondly I would train students to memorize new words in different ways and then make examples with these new words.Fourthly I would make students talk with each other in English in class and even after class.Lastly,I would make them write sh
