| Vocabulary is the foundation of a language and one of the three major components of English.It plays a vital role in primary school English learning.However,in the actual process of vocabulary teaching,teachers often ignore the internal relationship between letters and their pronunciations,which makes it difficult for students to spell and dictate vocabulary and greatly reduces their interest in English learning.Therefore,it is important to explore a method to help students learn vocabulary efficiently.Phonics makes the letters or letter combinations establish a connection with their pronunciations.Students can improve their vocabulary learning efficiency by mastering the corresponding relationship.This study has carried on the teaching experiment in two classes of grade 4 in S primary school.Based on input hypothesis and learning transfer theory,the application effect of phonics in vocabulary teaching in the middle of primary school was explored.Through the experiment,three questions are mainly discussed:(1)Can the application of phonics effectively promote the positivity of vocabulary learning of students?(2)Can the application of phonics effectively improve the vocabulary spelling ability of students?(3)Can the application of phonics effectively improve the vocabulary dictation test ability of students? Before the experiment,a questionnaire was given to the experimental class in order to know students’ positivity for vocabulary learning,and vocabulary spelling and dictation tests were conducted in the two classes to understand the vocabulary level of the students.In the experiment,phonics was carried out in the experimental class and routine teaching was carried out in the control class.After the experiment,the experimental class was asked again to understand the changes of students’ positivity for vocabulary learning after teaching phonics.The two classes were tested after spelling and dictation,and the data were collected and analyzed.A comparative analysis of the data before and after the experiment shows that both classes have made some progress after the experiment,but the overall test results of the students in the experimental class after the phonics teaching have improved more significantly.After analyzing the questionnaires before and after the experiment,it is found that the students in the experimental class have greatly increased their autonomy in vocabulary learning after learning the spelling rules of phonics,and are willing to use phonics to spell words voluntarily.The conclusion of this study is that the application of phonics can effectively promote the positivity of vocabulary learning of students.The application of phonics can effectively improve students’ vocabulary spelling ability.The application of phonics can effectively improve the vocabulary dictation test ability of students. |
