The summative evaluation after the curriculum reform emphasizes children's comprehensive language use ability, and introduces oral test and listening test. In the language skills part of the curriculum standard, there is a clear description of the "speaking" of Level 1 and Level 2, such as "being able to record representative theories in English. You can exchange simple information with each other. Be able to have a short conversation about familiar personal and family situations. "
According to the requirements of curriculum standards, the methods of oral English test in primary schools are: reading aloud, dialogue and communication, looking at pictures and speaking according to topics.
Read aloud:
Reading aloud can be divided into word reading, sentence reading and paragraph reading. Word reading mainly tests students' pronunciation and word stress. Sentence reading mainly tests linking, loss of explosion, sentence stress and intonation. In addition to the test functions of single-machine reading and sentence reading, paragraph reading can also test students' ability to pause in groups, change their emotions and read naturally and smoothly. Reading aloud is the most basic oral test, which mainly tests students' phonetic foundation and cannot replace the test of oral expression ability. "Taking reading aloud as the teaching goal of primary school oral ability is because proper reading aloud is good for students. Besides reading the words aloud, we should also provide some paragraphs for students to read aloud with emotion. (Zhang Lianzhong) "
Phonetic ability is the basis of oral expression, so this method is simple, but it will still be used in many formal exams.
Answer the question:
Answering questions is one of the most commonly used oral test methods, which mainly tests students' ability to express simple sentences and paragraphs. When designing questions, try to avoid using yes and no to answer questions. Even if it is a special question, try to use the whole sentence to answer it, otherwise it will become listening comprehension, not language expression ability.
Look at the picture and talk:
Speaking by looking at pictures is a very common oral test method. You can use pictures, photographs, charts and advertisements as oral materials. Pictures are often used in primary school oral English exams. It examines students' ability to express paragraphs. The picture can be a single picture or a series of pictures. A single picture tests students' descriptive ability, and a series of pictures tests students' storytelling ability. Pictures can also be used to test students' conversational ability. For example, find the difference between two pictures. Two students each take a photo and find out the differences between the two photos through dialogue. The teacher observed and graded the expressive ability of the two students respectively.
Advantages of talking with pictures:
1. The test score is not affected by listening and reading, and it is a pure oral test.
2. It provides intuitive speech content, avoids the embarrassment of having nothing to say because of unfamiliar topics, and makes the test target focus on language expression rather than content conception.
3. The content of the picture controls the scope of the speech, making the candidates' answers more comparable, thus improving the objectivity of the score.
Situational dialogue:
In situational dialogue, it is best to have a dialogue between students. Teachers can set up multiple scenes, and students draw lots to decide the dialogue scenes during the exam, which is fairer. After drawing the signs, give the students some time to prepare. Evaluate the students' performance in the dialogue.
Theme expression:
Topic expression is also a common form of oral English test in primary schools. Similar to the ability to look at pictures and speak, it also examines the students' ability to express paragraphs and their proficiency in learning content at different stages.
