在游戏和快乐中提高英文词汇量

                  —— 小学部英语听写比赛报道   

词汇量及词语拼写是打好英语基础的关键，为了扩充同学们的词汇量，夯实拼写单词的能力和准确率，为之后的私校奖学金考试和精英公校考试奠定坚实的基础，新金山教育学院在第三学期的8月22日 — 9月6日期间组织了英文拼写大赛，参赛班级包括所有二年级到四年级的同学。

学校组织这次词汇听写大赛旨在帮助学生：

加强词汇量：学到更多的单词，使学生的读写能力得到全面提高。

拓展知识：追溯单词的来源及词源，帮助孩子从小产生好奇感，扩大他们的知识面，也使他们对学习新单词产生更大兴趣。

加强认知能力：提高孩子的记忆力、学习能力及抗压能力。这将对他们日后在高年级的学习极有益处。

提高自信心：让孩子更有信心敢于在公共场合说话并且接受自己的错误，他们也将得到所作努力后应得的喝彩。

比赛之前，学校根据NAPLAN大纲，结合课本学习，根据每一个年级的教学内容和掌握的词汇量，为同学们编写了词汇训练表。词汇表按照构词法归类总结了很多本年级熟悉的单词，比如同音词(Homophone),前缀词(Prefixes), 后缀词(Suffixes), 动词(Verbs),名词(Nouns),形容词(Adjectives), 复合词(Compound Words)，及词性变化规律和带各种词根（Suffixes）的单词等等。经过三周的听写比赛，每一位同学都主动复习了很多已学词汇，积极记忆了很多的新词汇。老师们根据统计好的比赛成绩，选出了各班前3名优胜者。学校向每个班级获得前三名的同学颁发了“拼写高手”的奖状和奖品。
