[摘要]提倡素质教育以来,我国英语教学取得了很大的成就。
随着中国社会的快速发展,国际交流对英语的巨大需要,传统的教学方法已经不能适应现在社会的发展趋势,培养出来的人才已经不能符合新的英语需要标准,尤其是听力方面,因为听力居于听说读写四个基本技能的首要位置,因此显得尤其重要.但是,听力仍然是学生学英语过程中的一个薄弱环节。
听力差使学生们很难提高他们的交际能力。
尽管传统教学方法也照顾到了学生的听力能力和听力技巧,然而日新月异的新环境和新情况还是需要传统教学做出很大的改变,尤其是在听力的内容和针对性方面应作出一些改变.本篇论文根据洛扎诺夫的暗示教学法理论,指出了在外语教学中音乐和歌曲都可以作为有效的教学手段。
歌曲能极大地激发学生学习兴趣,从而有助于增强对目的语的语感。
本文分析了英文歌曲可以作为教学材料用于英语教学的原因,并简要介绍了英文歌曲在小学英语课堂是如何被应用的,从而可以找到新时代环境下我国英语听力教学的新的有效方法,从而提高我国整体英语教学水平.
