初中英语学习方法与技巧

进入初中之后，词汇量的大量增加，系统语法知识的庞大，短语搭配的增多，课文文章的加长，还有中考应试的压力，这一切都让初中学生可能感到不知所措。小编在这里整理了初中英语的学习方法，希望能帮助到大家。 1.单词的记忆

其实英语的学习历来都把单词的学习作为重点，初中也不例外。我们一定要记住，单词记忆切忌孤立地，单纯地背诵单词。我们中学最习惯的背诵方法就是背拼写，比如what这个单词我们一般都是这么背what what，这样只是记住了几个孤立的字母而并没有记住单词，过不了几天就会把这个单词忘掉。那么我们就要把单词放在一个整体或者环境中背诵，比如我们不如记住下面一句话：What is your name?(你的名字叫什么)那么就不容易忘掉了。也就是说每记一个单词都要相应地记住用这个单词在内的一个例句，因为单词的意思只能在句子

中体现，有意思我们才不容易忘掉，而孤立的无意思的不容易记住。另外记忆单词要利用一切可能的办法去记住，比如分类记忆：我们把动物的有关词汇放在一起，把有关校园的有关词汇放在一起，或者天文，地理，等等。当然我们也可以利用谐音的方法自己编写些小段子记住单词。 2.语法的学习

初中是开始学习系统语法知识的重要阶段。这阶段语法学习好了，以后语法就会感到很轻松。首先应该明确是初中的时候我们学习的更多的是词法而不是句法，因为毕竟从简单开始吧，就算是中考题也基本上没有多少句法的题，所以初中一定要把重心放在词法上，就是名词，介词，冠词，代词，形容词等上面，而这些东西是最零碎的也是最头疼的，我们就更要有细心和耐心。建议每学习一个语法点，在学校教室里抄过一遍笔记后，回家静下心来，再重新整理一遍笔记，去粗取精，这其实是回顾温习的过程，并且要做好分类，不同重要程度的或者难易程度的要用不同的颜色区别对待，并时常翻阅。此外课堂上的语法知识往往和教材同步而并不系统，我们还可以再有一本语法书籍，甚至可以买高中语法，这样有知识的拓展。 3.文章的学习

现在的教材文章普遍较难。所以阅读文章难度是相当大的。学生在学习文章前一定要预习老师即将要讲的内容，事先把自己认为比较难的单词语法和句子划出来，这样就可以有的放矢。课本上的文章一定要精读，不能说看懂了就可以，而是要把每一个重要的单词和句子都要吃透。同时对文章中的经典词汇和段落要记笔记，甚至要会背诵，为后面的写作打基础。加强英语学习，阅读是重点，课堂上的文章太过教条和局限，可能缺乏生动性和乐趣性。因此课后也要多读些课外文章。建议读些国内出版的浅显的英语文章，比如象“英语沙龙初级版”英汉对照着看，一定会有兴趣和提高。 4.写作的学习

写作学习请大家牢牢记住下面两句话。“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”，“熟读唐诗三百首，不会做诗也会吟”，强大的阅读功底是写出好文章的保证，只有输入得多了才能输出得多，因此一定要多读课外文章还有精读文章。在具体联系方面，我们并不需要写太多字数的文章。因为初中生的作文并不需要写太复杂的句子。仅仅是简单句子的结合，所以说中学生的作文不叫真正意义上的作文，而是叫写话。所以鉴于上述，我觉得英汉互译写句子是最好的写作文的方法，把每句话成功的写出来，再结合起来就是一篇好的作文了。初中阶段的写作学习要学会多看多模仿，一定要善于背诵满分作文当中的高分句型，做到“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”，多多阅读才能提高自己的写作水平。
