原型范畴理论对高中英语词汇教学的指导作用

论文摘要

在高中英语教学阶段,英语学科的教学内容愈加丰富了,词汇量大大增加、词义纷繁、词语使用灵活且搭配能力极强。这成了学生英语学习上的最大障碍。因此如何帮助学生掌握足够的词汇量,并能正确地使用英语词汇,是教师不得不面对的挑战。本文从认知语言学的角度,讨论原型范畴理论对高中英语词汇教学的启示。笔者以文献资料为基础,阐述了原型范畴理论的发展过程,以及它对英语词汇教学的几点重要指导意义。通过严格的教学实践,证明原型范畴理论对高中英语教学所起的积极指导作用。教师根据原型范畴理论,在词汇教学中注意词汇原型意义的讲解,基本范畴词汇的优先教学和学生隐喻思维意识的培养。只要教师坚持不懈地在日常英语词汇教学中做到这三个方面的工作,就一定会取得高中英语词汇教学的突破。
