英语节奏训练教程
Jazz chants
本教材是美国原版教材，国内很早就有引进，
是上海外语音像出版社传播
的《英语节奏训练教程》，是
Jazz Chants
教学法。
简单介绍一下：
Jazz
Chants
是一种通过节奏来表达语言的方法，它把
有节奏的美式英语口语与美国传统的爵士乐节奏联系起来，
是一种自然
语言的再
现。
Jazz
Chants
所表现的不是一种夸大了的韵文效果，
而更像节奏强烈的对话、
诗歌。其节奏、重音、语调和我们平时听到美国人在生活中对话时的节奏、重音
和语调是一模一样的。典型的
Jazz
Chants
有以下特点：
1)
体现自然英语口语的节奏是
Jazz
Chants
成功的关键。“Jazz Chants
的节拍揭
示了美式英语和传统的美国爵士乐节奏的内在关联。”(Graham，
1998)“J
azz Chants
的节奏大大地帮助了记忆” (Hara,2003)
，强烈的节奏和
富有趣味的对话让学生们轻而易举地就把一首
chant
记住了，再加上音乐、动
作和角色扮演等其他辅助
教学手段，教学效果就能事半功倍了。
2)
Jazz Chants
能激起学生的兴趣，让学生全身心的投入学习。学生随着
chant
的节奏朗读、
对话、
吟唱、
打节拍和做各种动作，
< br>因此可以说
Jazz
Chants
和音乐、
歌曲一起让学生愉快的学习英语。
在纽约大学教授
二年级学生时，
Graham
教授还让学生自己撰写
chants
，从而创造出一个既轻松又有意思的学习环境，
让他们在这样的氛围里学习和使用英语。
3)Jazz Chants
是有意义的语言交际活动。表面上看，
Jazz Chants
在某种
程度上有些像传统的听说法的句型操练，
然而它却没有机械性语言操练的先天不
足。
Jazz
Chants
是有意义的、
有趣味的交
际性对话，
它所使用的语言是真实的、
实用的。
4)Jazz
Chants
是互动性的。尽管
Jazz Chants
这一教学模式有着大量的重
复练习，但这种重复练习始终存在于两人或
多人的相互应答之中。
Chants
一般
都可以以听和练开始，
以角色扮演这样的活动结束。
整个学习
过程不是那种枯燥
的重复操练和死记硬背的过程，而是一种自然的交流互动的过程。
5)
除了语音语调的训练，
Jazz Chants
还可以用于语言教学的其他方面，
如语法、词汇、习惯用语、语言功能，以及
美国文化的学习。
6) Jazz
Chants
可适用于各种程度的学生。
Richard-Am
ato
（
1996
）指出，
尽管
Jazz
Chants
主要是针对初学者的，
但中级乃至高级程度的学生也能通过它
训练语音并学到很多实用的美国英语的习惯用法、
语言幽默，
以及恰到好处的表
达法等等许多东西。

12.a bad day
I overslept and
missed my train
Slipped on the sidewalk
in the pouring rain
Sprained
my ankle, skinned my knees
Broke my
glasses, lost my keys
Got stuck in the
elevator, it wouldn
’
t go
Kicked it twice and stubbed my toe
Bought a pen that
didn

Took
it back and had a fight
Went home
angry, locked the door
Crowed into bed,
could
n’
t take anymore
