应用语言学家杜雷贝特曾说:“不犯错误是学不会语言的。”在小学英语课堂上,学生在与教师或同学交流时,时常会出现一些口语错误。面对学生的错误,有的教师不能容忍学生的错误,凡错必挥起“有错必纠”的无情大刀,严重打击了学生口语交流的积极性,影响了他们表达的流利性。还可能挫伤学生的自尊心,降低他们学习英语的兴趣,对教学十分不利。有的教师则拿起了“放任自流”的温柔之刀,不及时纠正学生的错误,很可能导致石化现象。 Drebett, an applied linguistics expert, once said: “Students can not learn a language without making mistakes.” In primary school English classes, students often make some mistakes in their oral communication with teachers or classmates. Facing the students’ mistakes, some teachers can not tolerate the students’ mistakes. Any mistakes must be swirled. The ruthless sword of “mistakes must be rectified” severely hampers the enthusiasm of students’ oral communication and affects the fluency of their expression. It may also hurt students’ self-esteem and reduce their interest in learning English, which is very bad for teaching. Some teachers pick up the gentle knife “letting go”, failing to correct the mistakes of the students in a timely manner, is likely to lead to the phenomenon of petrification.
