初中英语课堂提问对学生学习动机的影响

摘  要在《新课程标准》的指导下，教师在教学过程中应注重培养学生的情感态度。情感态度应该与语言知识、语言技能、学习策略和文化意识享有同等重要的地位。而学习动机是培养学生情感态度的重要方式。教师必须激发并培养学生的学习动机，从而促进学生的学习能力。同时，课堂提问作为教学环节的重要组成部分，能够促进并维持课堂互动教学。因此，研究课堂提问对学生学习动机的影响显得十分重要。

    本文研究建立在课堂提问和学习动机的理论之上，采用观察浙派名师（浙江名师，有浙江教学风格）公开课视频的方法。之后将视频转写成文本资料，对所得数据从提问类型、提问策略和提问时间三个方面进行了归类和分析。

研究显示：1）参考性问题比展示性问题更能激发学生的学习动机。2）自问自答的方法不利于促进学生学习动机，而提示、追问、叫多人回答问题的方法是有效的。3）在提问之后，充足的等待时间，尤其等待时间超过八秒，能够促进学生的学习动机。

鉴于课堂提问对初中生学习动机有促进作用，教师应该听取相应的建议，采用有效方法付诸英语教学实践。这不仅能使学生在英语学习中有兴趣和主动性，并且能够促进语言学习。
