中文摘要：绘本是一种由文字和图画结合表达内容的有意义的书籍。其精简的文字可以降低阅读难度，插图可以帮助理解文字，对激发小学生对英语的学习兴趣有着极大的帮助。将绘本应用于小学英语教学中，是一种打破传统小学英语教学模式的方法。但目前小学英语绘本教学还处在探索阶段，在实践过程中也存在各种各样的问题。本研究通过对文献的研究，深化了对多元智能理论指导下有效的小学绘本英语教学的认识。本研究旨在回答了“教师在设计小学绘本英语教学的时候需要注意什么”和“教师设计小学绘本英语教学有什么有效的途径”两个问题。

本研究以加德纳的多元智能理论作为理论支撑，运用文献研究法，介绍了绘本的特点和现状；分析了绘本教学在具体实施过程中出现的问题；最后总结出小学英语教师在进行绘本教学的时候应遵循的三个原则并提供可行的课堂教学策略，以供广大小学英语教师参考。
