开场白

许多学生认为数学是枯燥的、乏味的。一些非数学老师在听完一堂数学课后，往往这样评价：思路清晰、语言精练、解题严谨，就是太乏味、缺少趣味性，让人昏昏欲睡。那么，如何调动学生的上课积极性，引发他们的好奇心？设计好“开场白”，非常关键。下面是数学课的几个片断：

动手实验式“开场白”：桌上摆满了切成各种形状的萝卜，大伙好像还在热列地讨论着什么。老师微笑问：“同学们，用一个平面去截一个正方体，截出的面可能是什么形状？”

悬念式“开场白”：老师一上讲台，故意神神秘秘地说“你们每人随便想一个自然数，将这个数乘5减7，再把结果乘2加14”。……“你们算得的结果个位数字一定是0”。顿时教室里象炸了锅似的，……“等你学了字母表示数，你也会算了”。……

故事式“开场白”：为了让学生体会图形的边长、周长、面积在变化过程中的关系，领会列方程解应用题时，关键是捕捉到不变的量。老师先给学生讲了一个故事：父亲的羊越来越多，想拆旧羊圈扩大面积，可是没有多余的篱笆，怎么办呢？他叫来了儿子,儿子不慌不忙地说：“爸，我有办法”。“你看，旧羊圈长70米，宽30米，面积2100平方米。如果改成50米见方的新羊圈，不用添篱笆，羊圈面积就有2500平方米”。

诸如此类的还有：“贴近生活式”开场白；“设疑式”开场白；“名言式”开场白；“趣味式”开场白；“实例式”开场白；“比喻式”开场白等等。向学生提出恰当的问题，激发起学生的兴趣，提高他们学习的积极性。

第二篇：专家建议：如何高效练习商务英语口语？

专家建议：如何高效练习商务英语口语？

一、从单词开始

根据格锐英语教学组研发的商务英语口语如何学习的经验，商务英语口语的内容要从单词开始学习。首先的问题是量:多少词汇才能让你表达自己?想想你平常说汉语时能用多少个单字和短语就可以得出答案。商务英语也一样。在一些商务的场合，英语比汉语的思维方式或许要简单得多,说话所用的词汇会更少,有人统计过,大约几百个已经足够了。接下来的问题就是如何在商务的场合来更熟练的运用了。

二、从发音入手

格锐英语专家还提出：在商务英语口语如何学习的问题中，加强发音水平的练习是最为关键的一步，学习商务英语口语发音的内容有三个:音、腔、调。首先要掌握单音的发音要领。单音不要搞得太细,因为单音发得再准,如果没有让外国人听着顺耳的腔也不能算地道的表达。“腔”指的是英语单词音节的轻重和在话语中高低的变化(在中国语音书上称“节奏”)。显然,发音学习的主要精力要放在腔上。此外,你必须学会外国人用语调传递信息和表达情感变化的习惯。这是学习说英语的高级境界。

三、学习方法分享

学好商务英语口语基本上没有一个快速的办法，所有的口语学习都是需要长时间练习的。首先，要有大量的阅读和听力做基础。在读和听的过程中，积累了词汇，掌握了句型，熟悉了用英语表达思想的方式，最重要的是培养了语感。

同时，学商务英语口语也需要用多种办法：如大声朗读英语对话和文章，朗读各种句型的例句和口语中最常用的句子，背诵文章及演讲，与会英语的人练口语，当然，最好与以英语为母语的人练口语。事实上，自言自语亦是练习口语的有效的方法之一。如果你把自己说的英语给录制下来，听听自己的录音，若有问题，再加以改正，效果就会更好。说英语还要有胆量。如果你能在不太能说出口，或是说不好的情况下，大胆地说。说上一段时间后，突然有一天你发现自己已经会自如、清楚地表达自己的思想。有了大胆说的精神，你才能闯过口语的难关。

常用商务英语口语的学习要点是什么呢？一般在在一定的语言环境和不断学习的过程中才会得到了口语的提升。特别是在下面的文章内容中也有着这方面的详细描述，相信我们在看过了之后，就一定可以让自己的成绩得到了极大保障。

给自己创造一个全方位的英语环境

对你的常用商务英语口语最有帮助的事情之一，就是尝试着让你自己浸泡在英语环境当中。你可以给自己制定一套计划，比如 “24-hour English”，为自己挑选一个日子，每周的某一天，全天进入英文模式，避免说中文，尽量用英语来表达自己的意思。不仅嘴上说英文，还要用英语思考，比如清晨在脑海里用英语对自己说一遍一天的计划。如果能做到全身心进入英文模式并加以坚持，那就是给自己营造了一个好的英文环境。英语口语：是一场持久战

建议每位学员应该每个礼拜给自己制定一个明确的学习计划，规定自己一个礼拜之内应该保持多长的学习时间。为了保证学习的效果只有严格按照学习计划推进，以免竹篮打水一场空。

常用商务英语口语的学习要点是什么呢？一般主要就是上面所表述的那样，如果大家可以很好的明确了这些，相信日后的学习过程也会变得充满了乐趣。当大家明确了这些学习的方法后，就一定能够可以让口语的能力得到了极大的保障。
