[Key Words]Techniques of Improving the memory, teaching methods, action principle.

In the process of learning English, the memory of English words is very important. As the cornerstone of building an English knowledge building, words should be given special attention. Therefore, is it possible to skillfully remember English words to become a person quickly?
Jie breaks through the key of English. However, many learners still cannot get rid of the "rote memorization" mode after mastering a certain number of words. The results are time-consuming, energy-consuming, and the results are not very good. From the New View
This paper elaborates on the principles and skills of English word memory, and guides educators to pay more attention to it and improve their methods to help students get rid of the "mechanical memory.

I. Introduction
Memory is a kind of psychological process, from "memorizing" to "Recalling. The memory of English words is different from that of other knowledge systems. Due to the influence of Chinese learning habits, neglect of rules, lack of willpower and other factors
It is difficult for the majority of learners to get out of the misunderstanding of "rote memorization. Before Improving the memory method, we must concentrate, clarify the goal, and stimulate the interest in memory, so as to be accurate to conquer the memory of English words.
Backup.

Ii. Action principles
The action principle is summarized based on the knowledge of memory psychology and the Memory Characteristics of English words.

A: scaling down Association (Lenovo)Which means we are memorizing English
When words are used, do not put words in isolated memory. give full play to the potential of thinking and remember the relevant words together ,. "Lenovo" has a wide range of radiation. It can be partially associated with the whole, as well as other things, or a feature.
It can also be an expanded Association in terms of pronunciation, word form, and word meaning. For example, the memory word mare (female and female) can be associated with Homophone Words in terms of pronunciation.
Mayor (Mayor): From the Perspective of words, we can think of donkey, mule, and other words. From the perspective of word form, we can think of a series of words: bare
Naked care, dare, fare, Hare, flare, glare ),
Pare, rare, share, spare, prepare, square, and stare
View), tare (weeds), ware (items), etc. The Lenovo principle is the key to expanding vocabulary and achieving the "one arrow, multiple carvings" memory effect.

C: Contrast Scaling, Which means by comparison, pay attention to the nuances to deepen the impression and facilitate memory.

For example:
Ambitious ambitious-ambiguous vague;
Pleasant pleasant-pheasant, pig chicken

Today today-toady

Fable-feeble weak
Study Learning-Sturdy is strong and robust
Anecdote-Antidote antidote

The comparison principle starts from the difference to remember words, which can be seen as a link for convenient memory.

T refers to the contraction of text surroundings (context ).. A word is separated from the actual context, and it is hard to remember it. Place words in the context, improve cognitive ability through repeated reading, and finally achieve the goal of memory. Contextual memory is a vocabulary memory strategy favored by language teaching experts and psychologists at home and abroad.

I is the contraction of the InductionThe induction method is a method that explores and discovers general patterns through an individual and is introduced into the memory of English words. It means to discover patterns through individual words, and then further explores and summarizes them to unify memory. For example, the meanings of some words after the suffix "-er" have changed, and some have no "...... People or things.

Show -- shower (shower, shower)

Count (calculation) -- counter (counter, counter)

Draw-drawer)

Bow-Bower)

Sew-sewer)

Jump-jumper (sleeveless dress)

Flow-flower)

There are still many words with the above features, which need further exploration and inductive memory. For example, not all table identity words must be suffixed with "-er" or "-Or". Some words represent an identity or position:

Judge-Judge, referee cook-cook

Words with such regular patterns also need to be summarized and then summarized into memory.
It can be seen that the induction principle is to explore the law to remember the golden key of words.

O is the scaling of observation (observation)Observation is a prerequisite for some discoveries. It requires us to start from the word shape when memorizing English words, use splitting, merging, and other means to decrypt the inner contact and remember it. For example:
Dustpan = dust (dust) + Pan (PAN)

Peaco CK (peacock) = pea (PEA) + cock (Rooster)

Adolescence (adolescent) = a (one) + dole (Relief) + scene (landscape)
Harass (harassment) = hag (witch) + grass (grass) will "G"; skipped.

Another observation is to pay more attention to English-related things, such as English on the outer packaging of goods, English on billboards, English on clothes and ornaments, thanks to accumulation and review, you can naturally remember it easily. The principle of observation is a magic weapon for simplicity and innovation and memory.

N refers to the scaling of note-making.. Note-taking is a means of accumulating knowledge. To remember English words, you need to take notes to sort out key points and express your experiences.

For example:
Summary of homophone: peak, Peek, and pique [Pi: K]

Rain, rein, reign read [rein]

Summary of near words: petal (petals), Petrel (Haiyan), petrol (gasoline), patrol (Patrol );
Stimulate, simulate, accumulate, and emulate ).
Note-taking is a summary of memory skills and memory examples, and will certainly help to explore the essence of memory methods at a deeper level.
The good application of the action principle will allow you to take less detours in the Process of memorizing English words and seek fun. In addition, you can quickly break the word bastion.
Iii. Examples of memory methods

There are many ways to remember English words. The most important thing is to follow the principles and find a suitable method.

1. Root suffixes memory method
As the name suggests, by remembering the root suffixes, and then inferring the meaning of New Words Containing Such root suffixes, we can strengthen our memory.
There are two types of word roots. One is that many roots of the same root word can be extended, and it is also an independent word. For example, tokens are used as independent words. They are easy, easily, the root of easiness.
The other is the root of a word that cannot be used independently, but it has a basic meaning. Different words have the same idea. For example, the word mirror and Mirage are equivalent to marvellous and surprising.

So: Mirror [mir surprised,-or represents things; surprising things, people initially were surprised to see themselves in the mirror.]
Mirage [mir surprised,-age noun ending; amazing scenery.]
The media "root" enables a certain relationship between individual words to facilitate memory.
Suffixes include prefixes and suffixes. The "affixes" memory method is mainly used to remember "acronyms", that is, "a new word produced by adding an affix before or after a root. "

For example, the word "post-" is prefixed ,"...... And "script" is "text material. After text materials, isn't it "Supplemental text (Attachment?
Another example is the word "booklet". "-Let" is a suffix that indicates "small". Obviously, "booklet" is the meaning of "booklet.
It is a pleasure to analyze the source of words by using the root and affix memory methods. For common roots and suffixes, we will not repeat them here. Teachers should supplement them in the teaching process.

2. Audio-visual memory
The audio-visual memory method is a general memory method that begins with the pronunciation, shape, and meaning of a word and follows the principles of association, comparison, and induction.

① Sound near word and form near word
Phoneme subwords refer to words with similar pronunciation, such as often and orphan, which refer to words with similar shapes, such as eject, deject, and reject.

② Homophone and homophone
Homography refers to words with the same spelling and different meanings. For example, bat and BAT have the same shapes and different meanings. Another example is: Lead [Li: d] (lead) and lead [led] (LEAD) have the same shape, different meanings, and different pronunciations.
The same pronunciation refers to words with different meanings. For example, bear and bear have the same spelling, the same pronunciation, different meanings, and meat) the spelling is different from that of meet. The pronunciation is the same and the meaning of the word is different.

③ Synonyms and Antonyms
Synonyms refer to words with the same or similar meanings, such as gglad and pleased)
Antonyms refer to words with opposite or opposite meanings, such as raw and ripe)
④ Return words, mixed words and deformation words
There are two types of words that can be used for positive-read-back reading. One is that the words used for reverse reading are the same as those used for original words, such as level, deed, civic, and madam, the other is that inverse words are different from original words,
Generate new words, such as but-tub (bucket), Bin (waste bin)-NIB (pen tip), time (time)-emit (distribution), meet (meeting) -teem (Charge
Full), Deer (dear)-Reed (Reed) and so on.
A mixed word is also called a patchwork word. It is composed of two words, for example, smoke (smoke) + FOG (FOG) = smog (smoke ),
Communications (Communication) + Satellite (satellite) = Comsat (Communication Satellite)
Medical (medical) + care = medical care, work + Welfare (Welfare) = workfare (Work welfare), etc.
A deformed word refers to a new word or phrase, for example, eat (EAT)-tea (TEA), part (partial)-trap (TRAP), dirty
Room (dirty room)-dormitory (dormitory), woman
Hitler (female Hitler)-mother-in-law (mother-in-law or mother-in-law), cart-horse (tractor horse)-Orchestra (Orchestra) and so on.

⑤ Anthropomorphic and transliteration words
Anthropomorphic words are words that simulate the sound of objects, people, and animals. For example, bomb (bomb; bombing) [Bomb Explosion Sound], crack (crack sound) [crack sound], grumble
Grits, complaints) [sound to be grits, sound to be heard], Mutter (whisper, swallow) [sound to be heard], and roar (roar, roar)
The roar of the Beast], the owl (OWL) [called the owl's cry], and so on.

A transliteration word is a word transformed from a translation. Most of the words are made during the evolution and translation of words. It can be translated into Chinese, translated into English, and coupled with pronunciation.
Examples: humor, coffee, Tank, sofa)
Kong (FEI), kowtow (Jing Tou, Jing TOU), litchi (Lychee), and typhoon (typhoon)
Matching Chinese and English pronunciation: scan, tow, loot, bandage)

There are multiple types of words generated based on the Relationship Between Pronunciation, word form, and word meaning, which are not listed here. Teachers are required to guide students in observation and comparison, cultivate interest, start with pronunciation, word form, word meaning, and summarize block memory words.

3. homophonic memory
The homophonic memory method uses humorous and absurd misinterpretations to remember words based on the Relationship Between Pronunciation, word form, and word meaning.
For example: morose (SAD, depressing) = Mo (dialect, none) + rose (Rose), imagine, "No rose" on Valentine's Day, how can we not "sad and depressed "?
Ponderous (bulky). It is called "fat to death". Can you think of it as "fat to death?
Another example is the words "memory engineer", "peer", "Pioneer", "profiteer", "Steer", "sneer", and "volunteer". We can have a humorous understanding of this:
Pioneer despise (sneer) Quangui (PEER) and profiteer (volunteer) as engineers
Steer ). Another way to remember the word Nepal (Nepal) is to remember the first letter of each word in the sentence: Never ever
Part as lovers. (lovers will never be separated)

4. Sensory Memory
The sensory memory method is a method that mobilizes ears, Mouth, eyes, and hands, and unifies listening, speaking, reading, and writing to achieve the purpose of memory, the advantage of doing so is to communicate with the various parts of the cerebral cortex and reduce forgetting. We can
With special memory, you can also pay attention to the English around us, such as English on electrical equipment, English on the product manual, various warning languages, slogans, etc. You can also listen to foreign songs, enjoy foreign movies ...... In-ear monitoring
After a long time, you can remember it.
For example, battery is printed on the outer packaging of many brands of battery batteries, shampoo is printed on the outer of many shampoo bottles, and the ATM
Teller Machine automated teller machine (ATM), OTC (over the counter over-the-counter) on some drug boxes, etc.

In the course of teaching, teachers should properly penetrate relevant knowledge, educate students to observe and accumulate more.

5. Classification and memory
The classification and memory method summarizes words by subject, scope, and other conditions, and then integrates the memory. We classify medical care, shopping, foreign trade, and other aspects. We can also summarize the topics based on time, determination, attitude, and other theme, and then remember them based on the memory principle.
For example, by literature, we can generalize many words: biography, essay, reportage, memoirs, and travels ), prose and fiction.
There are many ways to remember English words. In addition to the examples listed above, there are also the proverbs, songs, and cards. We should follow the principle of memory to regard words as a pleasure. Instructors are teaching
It is necessary to instruct students to think more about connections and supplement some related knowledge. In fact, memory of English words is a very interesting and attractive learning, accumulating, reviewing, exploring, and grasping the law.
It is definitely possible to go out of the trap of "rote memorization.
