Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v7i2.3520
Abstract
In the critical learning phase of high school, the application of English phrasal verbs is particularly important and frequent. However, due to the numerous combinations and rich meanings of phrasal verbs, students often find them difficult to memorize. Traditional cramming and didactic teaching methods of phrasal verbs limit students' opportunities to deeply understand the conceptual meanings, thus affecting their overall learning outcomes. Researchers have observed that particles have characteristics of semantic similarity and polysemy, which makes the acquisition of English phrasal verbs trouble, therefore, they tend to choose particles as research subjects. The paper briefly introduces the characteristics of high school phrasal verb teaching, citing a multidimensional system model based on Concept-based Instruction. Finally, taking the particle "over" as an example, the paper explores the application of CBI in high school English phrasal verb instruction, aiming to provide English teachers with some valuable teaching experiences.
