浅谈多媒体在小学英语教学中的作用-开题报告

1.1. Research Background

It is universally known that English is the most widely used language in the world. Owing to the globalization, the English language is very important in international communication. Therefore, English teaching is highly regarded in modern times. Because of its universality and significance, the English language is taught as the foreign language or the second language in most non-English-speaking countries all over the world.  However, English teaching in non-English-speaking countries faces many troubles. A large number of students could not be activated in English learning. Many students, especially students in primary schools, lose their interests at the initial period because of the boring learning condition and atmosphere. The representative of Cognitive psychology J.S.Bruner (cited in Net.7) said: “The best stimulus for learning is the interest to the teaching materials.” To the students, especially the primary school students, “interest” will directly affect their study effect. It’s necessary to stimulate primary school students because they are at a special age. They are curious and lively. A monotonous class always makes them learn negatively while a vivid class with appropriate teaching aids will be beneficial. Therefore, in English teaching, the teaching aid is unavoidable.

Human’s understanding is from vivid direct viewing to the abstract thought, and from abstract thought to practice, therefore, teaching must strengthen the image to be direct viewing. Vivid direct viewing is the first step for students to learn the knowledge. The perceptual knowledge, which the students get from vision, is the foundation of their developing to the rational knowledge. At the same time, the direct viewing in teaching also can turn the abstract thought to concrete image. If the teacher appropriately utilizes the teaching aid in the classroom, it can strengthen the teaching direct viewing, enhance the classroom, increase the knowledge density, break through the difficulties, give prominence to the key points, reduce the burden of students for remembering and understanding, and enhance the students’ interest.1.2.
