一、引言很多学生从小学就开始学英文,并投入了大量的精力和金钱去参加各种各样的英语学习提高班,但直至高中阶段效果却不尽如人意。他们都经历着学了忘,忘了学的痛苦;语法初中学了一遍,到了高中又学一遍,还是“无法无天”。学时清清楚楚,信心百倍,一旦进入实践,考试时却糊里糊涂难以选择,交际上又处于尴尬的境地;舌头和耳朵不听使唤。有人戏称这一英语学习现象为“一壶烧不开的水”。教师夜以继日地伏案备课,课堂上十分卖力,教得口干舌燥;学生课堂上忙于做笔记,课后又常开夜车做习题。教师累,学生更苦,教学的结果却是“一壶烧不开的水”,问题出在哪里?经过很多教育学家多年的观察和研究,问题的症结逐渐浮出水面:是学生自主学习能力出了问题。特别是在新教材背景下,高中英语教学中学生自主学习能力的培养更显得尤为重要。正是基于此,本文就高中英语教学中学生自主学习能力的培养方面做一些探讨。 I.
