中文摘要：词汇教学是英文教学的一个重要组成部分，但是对于目前的小学生来说，记住大量英语词汇仍然很困难。在目前的课堂教学活动中，大多数英语教师采用的传统的机械的教学方法，强调死记硬背，忽略了词汇“音”、“形”和“意”的内在联系，导致了小学生在实际的学习过程中产生诸多问题，例如机械记忆和单词拼写困难。为了提升学习效率和掌握英语词汇，非常有必要提供一种新型的教学模式。

“自然拼读法”就是目前采用较多的一种教学方法。它通过联系单词的音和形，让学生更有效率地学习单词。这一研究方法在国外已经有了大量的研究，但在国内研究理论较少。因此，自然拼读法在国内课堂上可利用的空间很大。它不仅能够帮助学生快速地拼写出单词，而且能够创造出一种轻松的学习氛围，进而激发学生的学习兴趣。在本篇论文中，我们就自然拼读法在小学英语课堂上所产生的问题及原因进行分析和讨论，同时概括了自然拼读法给小学生学习英语词汇带来的好处。
