高职英语教学要求注重语言的实际应用,但在传统的教学实践中,教师往往重视学生英语读与写的能力,而忽视了对学生听说能力的培养。模因论为高职英语听说教学提供了新的教学思路。语言学习的过程就是模因复制和传播的过程。在英语听说教学中,要充分发挥语言模因的功能,培养学生不断复制并使用获得的语言模因,提高教学的有效性。 English teaching in higher vocational schools pays attention to the practical application of language. However, in traditional teaching practice, teachers often emphasize their ability of reading and writing in English while neglecting their ability of listening and speaking. Memetics has provided new teaching ideas for higher vocational English listening and speaking teaching. The process of language learning is the process of memetics duplication and dissemination. In English listening and speaking teaching, we should give full play to the function of language memes, train students to continuously copy and use the acquired language memes, and improve the effectiveness of teaching.
