第一篇:英語報刊閱讀課教學(xué)模式
英語報刊閱讀課教學(xué)模式
英語課堂教學(xué)是一種多層次、多功能、綜合運用各種感官的活動,是教與學(xué)雙向作用的復(fù)雜而又細(xì)致的過程。在這個過程中,如何激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)動機(jī),調(diào)動學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)積極性,是我們在教學(xué)中應(yīng)該考慮也必須解決好的問題。要解決這一問題,課堂教學(xué)模式就顯得特別重要,宗旨是建立以學(xué)生為中心的課堂模式。
《二十一世紀(jì)學(xué)生英文報》是我國第一份面向中學(xué)生的英語時事周報,它以時事文化為主,安排了校園熱點、文化知識、休閑閱讀等內(nèi)容,文字淺顯地道,文章短小精悍,兼具時效性、知識性和趣味性,適合學(xué)生的理解和接受能力。報刊閱讀課是遼寧省實驗中學(xué)北校英語教學(xué)的一個特色,我創(chuàng)建的“報刊閱讀”模式 以閱讀報刊為載體,利用課堂四十分鐘的教學(xué)將其分解為聯(lián)系教材的導(dǎo)入環(huán)節(jié)作為閱讀的鋪墊;報刊閱讀作為核心環(huán)節(jié)學(xué)生帶著問題進(jìn)行有目的的閱讀,然后師生一起解讀,獲取信息并解決重點突破難點,這是報刊閱讀的主要環(huán)節(jié);最后是總結(jié)提升,主要體現(xiàn)學(xué)以致用。下面就報刊教學(xué)和大家進(jìn)行探討。
(一)理論依據(jù)
閱讀是人們獲取信息、處理信息、分析和解決問題的最主要途徑。人的70%以上的知識都是通過閱讀所獲得。“閱讀使人充實,討論使人機(jī)智,寫作使人精確。”(Reading makes a full man;conference makes a ready man;and writing makes an exact man.)閱讀和表達(dá)(討論交流、談話、寫作等)是人們終身學(xué)習(xí)和發(fā)展的基礎(chǔ)。自主性閱讀與表達(dá)的能力是學(xué)生實現(xiàn)個性發(fā)展必不可少的最基本素質(zhì)。
英語自主性閱讀,能給學(xué)生足夠的語言“感知”和“體驗”;能給他們足夠的語言“輸入”,以促進(jìn)他們的語言知識的鞏固和學(xué)習(xí);能實實在在地給他們以 1 英語學(xué)習(xí)的成就感。伴隨學(xué)生閱讀能力的逐步提高,他們的聽、說、寫等能力也能獲得不同程度的提高和發(fā)展。
自主性閱讀,既是英語學(xué)習(xí)的重要目標(biāo),也是英語學(xué)習(xí)的重要且有效的手段。“自主性閱讀與表達(dá)能力培養(yǎng)途徑”課題研究,既基于國家課程改革的理念和《英語課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》的目標(biāo)要求,又基于我國基礎(chǔ)教育發(fā)展不平衡和教師狀況的實際,有助于我國較大范圍內(nèi)英語教學(xué)的現(xiàn)狀的改變,提高英語教育質(zhì)量,實現(xiàn)英語教育的價值。
《英語課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》明確提出:“英語課程要力求合理利用和積極開發(fā)課程資源,給學(xué)生提供貼近學(xué)生實際、貼近生活、貼近時代的內(nèi)容健康和豐富的課程資源。” 而英語報刊以它獨特的優(yōu)勢滿足了《英語課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》提出的這些要求。
21世紀(jì)報社的TEENS英語報刊信息量大、內(nèi)容豐富、貼近時代、語言鮮活、能適應(yīng)不同層次和水平的學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)和欣賞。閱讀該報能夠有效地彌補英語課堂教學(xué)中的不足,豐富教學(xué)資源,拓寬學(xué)用渠道。通過指導(dǎo)學(xué)生關(guān)注報紙的不同版面形式和豐富內(nèi)容,并用不同的閱讀策略對不同體裁的文章進(jìn)行分析和通讀,使學(xué)生能夠較快把握文章脈絡(luò)和結(jié)構(gòu),獲取有效信息,進(jìn)而理解和體會報刊文字傳達(dá)的主旨大意和深刻內(nèi)涵。
報刊教學(xué)的教學(xué)目的主要是幫助學(xué)生在有限的時間內(nèi)獲取盡可能多的信息,培養(yǎng)其英語閱讀的興趣以及在閱讀過程中用英語獲取和處理信息的能力,使學(xué)生能夠較快把握文章脈絡(luò)和結(jié)構(gòu),理解和體會報刊文字傳達(dá)的主旨大意和深刻內(nèi)涵,拓展話題,鍛煉學(xué)生口頭表達(dá)能力。
(二)基本程序
一堂好的課堂如同一部好的交響樂曲,報刊閱讀課也是如此,即高質(zhì)是全體學(xué)生高質(zhì)量的掌握本節(jié)課的核心內(nèi)容,高效是教師在有效時間內(nèi)高水平的完成教學(xué)目標(biāo),高質(zhì)是教學(xué)的靈,高效是教學(xué)的魂,兩者相制約,高質(zhì)主要體現(xiàn)在備課與課后,高效表現(xiàn)在課堂上,高質(zhì)高效在課上相輔相承、融為一體,構(gòu)成一部 和諧的課堂教學(xué)交響樂。
1、導(dǎo)入— 鋪墊環(huán)節(jié) 人們讀報往往都是先看自己最喜歡的版面,比如娛樂新聞,時事新聞等。所以可以問學(xué)生:哪一篇文章是你最喜歡的?怎么樣選擇你最喜歡的文章?目的是激發(fā)興趣并指導(dǎo)閱讀方法,通過標(biāo)題、圖片來預(yù)測文章內(nèi)容,進(jìn)而決定是否細(xì)讀。
上課伊始,引導(dǎo)全體學(xué)生輕松愉快地步入學(xué)習(xí)新內(nèi)容的大門。可采用不同的形式導(dǎo)入,如:猜謎語、做游戲、聽音樂、看視頻等,但總的原則是激發(fā)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的興趣與熱情,自然的進(jìn)入共同探索的課堂。
導(dǎo)入部分,還可以采用“快速搶答”的方式。英文報紙上的內(nèi)容原汁原味,文章中蘊含了很多美國俚語和成語。通過“智力問答”的形式,讓學(xué)生搶答幻燈片中所給成語或俚語的中文含義,再自編一個情景造句。學(xué)生又學(xué)到了教材中沒有的地道的美國和英國的生活俚語,大大了激發(fā)了他們的外語學(xué)習(xí)興趣。
總之在導(dǎo)入部分就是要結(jié)合教學(xué)內(nèi)容創(chuàng)設(shè)情境,激發(fā)動機(jī),使學(xué)生在教學(xué)情境中,興奮地進(jìn)入學(xué)習(xí)新知識的起點。教學(xué)情境大體上可分為兩類:一類是讓學(xué)生感悟情境,一類是讓學(xué)生體驗情境,這根據(jù)教學(xué)內(nèi)容靈活確定。在報刊教學(xué)中也是如此。
2、主旋—核心環(huán)節(jié)
(1)閱讀:引導(dǎo)學(xué)生帶著問題去有目的的閱讀,閱讀方式有導(dǎo)讀、范讀、暢讀等。
交響曲的主旋是緊緊圍繞樂曲的主題展開的,在千變?nèi)f化的交響中,主旋律始終不變,盡管有時重奏、變奏、協(xié)奏,但萬變不離其宗。教學(xué)的主旋是課堂教學(xué),課堂是由50多種個體思維,100多只眼神,活生生的動態(tài)因素的組合體,它的復(fù)雜性、不定性,遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出交響樂,因此,建構(gòu)隨機(jī)、有序、和諧、即興的教學(xué)結(jié)構(gòu)是開創(chuàng)高效課堂教學(xué)重要內(nèi)涵。
(2)解讀:包括理解、翻譯、文章內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)的分析、作者情感態(tài)度的研究及對一些語法結(jié)構(gòu)的剖析等,聯(lián)系課標(biāo)教材,由教師進(jìn)行解讀。
當(dāng)然作為教師,首先得端正學(xué)生對報刊閱讀的思想認(rèn)識,注意調(diào)動每位學(xué)生的參與熱情,掃除他們的心理障礙,防止閱讀流于形式。其次教會學(xué)生怎樣閱讀英文報刊,提供報刊常用術(shù)語,介紹報紙的版面內(nèi)容,或提供必要的閱讀背景。再者教會必要的閱讀方法,如查讀法,猜測法,略讀法等。比如拿到一份報紙通常通過讓學(xué)生閱讀導(dǎo)讀部分和瀏覽報刊文章標(biāo)題來了解報紙的主要內(nèi)容,然后讓 他們根據(jù)他們的興趣或在老師的指導(dǎo)下去細(xì)讀研讀。因為報刊的文章內(nèi)容和題材都非常豐富,有時必須教會學(xué)生采取相應(yīng)的閱讀方法,對于時事報道或敘述性的文章,注意抓住標(biāo)題,采用提問式閱讀方法;對于科普或者應(yīng)用說明文注意文章的層次和邏輯結(jié)構(gòu);議論文注意作者的觀點、意圖及評論。
3、尾 聲—升華環(huán)節(jié)
這一環(huán)節(jié)教師的作用體現(xiàn)在對問題講解升華,一場精美的交響樂能給人留下美好的回憶,享受音樂帶來的愉悅。同樣,一堂課上完后,并不是教學(xué)的結(jié)束,成功的執(zhí)教者,往往給學(xué)生留下懸念,讓學(xué)生的思維活動延續(xù)下去,并盼望下一課的到來,為此,設(shè)計好結(jié)束語至關(guān)重要,要有教學(xué)的生成與結(jié)束前的質(zhì)疑。
報刊閱讀課可以以本期報紙的主題為升華點,讓學(xué)生感悟;也可以以某篇文章的內(nèi)容作為拓展點,引發(fā)學(xué)生思考。總的原則是:充分拓寬探究問題的思路,鼓勵學(xué)生的奇思妙想,創(chuàng)造生成。
4、謝 幕—延伸環(huán)節(jié)
平等和諧的師生關(guān)系是形成良好課堂氣氛的基礎(chǔ)。課堂交往中,學(xué)生對教師的人格態(tài)度、專業(yè)水平、教學(xué)方法,甚至對某一問題的看法,都會自覺不自覺地進(jìn)行評價,作出“信任”或“不信任”的判斷,和“親近”或“不親近”的情感反應(yīng);甚至于把對教師的好惡遷移到教師所授課程上來,對教師沒有好感,也就不想學(xué)他教的課。如果教師只對出類拔萃的學(xué)生感興趣,表現(xiàn)出厚愛,而冷落了成績差的學(xué)生,那么就會造成成績偏好的學(xué)生自以為是、驕傲自滿,成績差的學(xué)生灰心喪氣、感到自卑,慢慢就會產(chǎn)生抵觸情緒,對學(xué)習(xí)失去信心。一旦學(xué)生與教師產(chǎn)生了對立情緒,教師的教學(xué)就顯得無能為力了。教學(xué)中,教師應(yīng)熱愛每個學(xué)生,尊重每個學(xué)生,關(guān)心每個學(xué)生,對學(xué)生一視同仁;不要因為學(xué)生的成績優(yōu)劣以及性別、出身等的不同而產(chǎn)生親疏和偏向。提問題或組織課堂活動,機(jī)會要盡量均等,尤其要注意多給那些自卑感強的學(xué)困生表現(xiàn)的機(jī)會,以增強他們學(xué)習(xí)的自信心。上課時,教師要環(huán)視每個學(xué)生,不要只看學(xué)優(yōu)生,而使其他學(xué)生感到冷落,或者只看學(xué)困生,讓他們感到不自在而情緒緊張。教師要了解每個學(xué)生的心理特征和志向要求,記住每個學(xué)生的姓名,讓每個學(xué)生覺得自己在教師心中有一席之地。如果每個學(xué)生經(jīng)常感到教師對自己的愛、關(guān)心和尊重,便會激發(fā)出健康的情感,變 4 得生氣勃勃,產(chǎn)生積極的學(xué)習(xí)動機(jī),在和諧的氣氛中學(xué)習(xí)知識、培養(yǎng)能力。總之,要充分調(diào)動學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的積極性、主動性,多鼓勵引導(dǎo),少批評教育,注重培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣和信心,只有這樣才能使英語課活起來,使學(xué)生真正動起來。
以上是筆者對報刊閱讀課堂模式的一些想法和做法,幾年來的報刊閱讀課使教師和學(xué)生收獲都很大,了解了最新的消息,拓寬了視野,更體會到東西方文化的差異;接觸到了最時尚的英語和更多原汁原味的英語,擴(kuò)大了詞匯量,突破了時空的限制,加大了教學(xué)的密度,提供給學(xué)生更多語言實踐的機(jī)會,學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的興趣更濃,閱讀速度明顯提高,同時寫作能力和語言表達(dá)能力也有所提高。
報刊閱讀課的模式也是多樣的。要全面大幅度提高學(xué)生報刊閱讀能力,需要不斷地鍛煉學(xué)生的報刊閱讀思維,提高總的文化素養(yǎng)。不同的報刊閱讀題材采取不同的教學(xué)模式。無論哪一種,教師的角色都應(yīng)該是整個活動的設(shè)計者,是學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)的引導(dǎo)者,也是學(xué)習(xí)群體的協(xié)作者。師生之間是平等民主的合作伙伴關(guān)系,學(xué)生是學(xué)習(xí)活動的主體。教師應(yīng)當(dāng)認(rèn)真研究報刊閱讀教材,根據(jù)閱讀的不同目的和內(nèi)容,按照整體——局部——整體的思路,設(shè)計形式多樣的、以學(xué)生為主體的課堂教學(xué)活動,創(chuàng)設(shè)豐富的閱讀情境,給出積極的學(xué)習(xí)評價,使學(xué)生積極地投入到報刊閱讀這一新的領(lǐng)域,提高閱讀理解能力。只有這樣才能充分發(fā)揮學(xué)生主觀能動性,突出他們的主體地位,體現(xiàn)報刊閱讀這一教學(xué)模式的新的特點,為學(xué)生的發(fā)展做準(zhǔn)備,綜合提高學(xué)生的素質(zhì)。
第二篇:英語聽說課教學(xué)模式初探
英語聽說課教學(xué)模式初探
該模式適用于每單元的Section A 1a—Grammar focus 和Section B 1a—2d兩部分教學(xué)
Section A是語言的基本內(nèi)容,是語言的輸入階段。Section B是綜合的語言運用和知識的擴(kuò)展部分。
(一)教學(xué)目標(biāo)(Teaching aims):
(教師可以根據(jù)學(xué)生水平,發(fā)展層次,提出不同的目標(biāo)要求,不同的學(xué)生可以布置不同的任務(wù),讓所有學(xué)生經(jīng)過努力都能完成任務(wù)。)
(二)教學(xué)準(zhǔn)備(Teaching materials):
Teacher: 教師課前需要做哪些工作,準(zhǔn)備哪些教具,上課需要的示范物。Students: 學(xué)生需要為本節(jié)課準(zhǔn)備哪些物品
(本環(huán)節(jié)教師可根據(jù)具體教學(xué)內(nèi)容靈活處理,可多可少,可有可無)
(四)教學(xué)過程(Teaching procedures): Module 1 熱身(Warming-up)
(在此活動環(huán)節(jié)中,教師依據(jù)教授內(nèi)容靈活處理,選擇下面的方法和步驟。)1.話題交流(Free talk or daily English)
結(jié)合本單元的中心話題,師生或者生生進(jìn)行互動,開展口語交流活動。2.復(fù)習(xí)/頭腦風(fēng)暴(Revision or Brain storm)
針對本單元所涉及的中心話題,聯(lián)系學(xué)生以往所學(xué)的有關(guān)內(nèi)容,進(jìn)行舊知識復(fù)習(xí),教師可以帶領(lǐng)學(xué)生復(fù)習(xí)與話題有關(guān)的單詞、短語,創(chuàng)設(shè)適當(dāng)?shù)恼Z境,復(fù)習(xí)句式和時態(tài)等語法知識。也可以開展頭腦風(fēng)暴活動,聯(lián)想與話題有關(guān)的內(nèi)容,進(jìn)行小組合作學(xué)習(xí),以舊帶新,拓展知識,為新課做知識儲備。例如,問路、指路這個中心話題,聯(lián)系學(xué)生以往學(xué)過的有關(guān)內(nèi)容,進(jìn)行舊知識復(fù)習(xí)。next to , go straight on, turn left/right 等。Module 2 中心任務(wù)活動(Main tasks)
(說明:任務(wù)活動主要是根據(jù)課堂教學(xué)內(nèi)容來設(shè)計的,每個單元應(yīng)有一個中心任務(wù),完成這個中心任務(wù)需要很多目標(biāo)語言,要把這些目標(biāo)與分散到各課時內(nèi)學(xué)習(xí),在這個環(huán)節(jié)中就是圍繞著中心任務(wù)設(shè)計成小任務(wù)活動,每個小任務(wù)活動都學(xué)習(xí)使用一小部分目標(biāo),教師就是根據(jù)這些目標(biāo)語的學(xué)習(xí)過程來設(shè)計任務(wù)活動的,任務(wù)活動可多可少,可繁可簡,可大可小,沒有限定,均以學(xué)生能順利完成學(xué)習(xí)任務(wù)為目的,以下步驟就是本著這原則而設(shè)計的基本操作方法,不是固定的一成不變的框框。教師可參考)Task one: 任務(wù)1應(yīng)該是本單元話題中最簡單的任務(wù),所用的語言應(yīng)是本課時最基礎(chǔ)的語言,基本采用第一和第二人稱,目標(biāo)語言主要使用的是1a—1c部分。Step 1.1a 學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)語
1.Speaking: Talk about the picture in 1a進(jìn)行圖畫描述,教師引導(dǎo)學(xué)生就1a的圖畫進(jìn)行自由表述(這是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生英語思維重要的、也是必要的過程),教師可以給予適當(dāng)?shù)膯栴}提示,根據(jù)學(xué)生已有的知識采用問答式,例如:What can you see in the picture? How many people are there in the picture? What are they doing?? 引導(dǎo)學(xué)生觀察圖畫,進(jìn)行口語表述。
2.Study new language:教學(xué)1a,通過圖片談?wù)搶?dǎo)入新語言知識的學(xué)習(xí),學(xué)習(xí)完成任務(wù)所需要的目標(biāo)詞匯、句式等,再在1a圖片所提供的情景或者創(chuàng)設(shè)新的語境來進(jìn)行交際練習(xí),體會、使用語言。Step 2.1b 聽力訓(xùn)練 1.Listen and do 1b: 教學(xué)1b, 完成1b的教學(xué)內(nèi)容
教師要幫助學(xué)生明確要求,并且給出一定的聽力方法指導(dǎo)。放錄音時,第一遍錄音只聽,不做練習(xí),放第二遍錄音時,完成練習(xí)。
2.Listen and complete the materials: 聽力材料的再利用(靈活處理的環(huán)節(jié))
新教材的最大特點之一就是聽力內(nèi)容在課本中不出現(xiàn)文字,在平日的教學(xué)活動中容易被忽略,但是它們又是每單元的主要教學(xué)內(nèi)容,對此,教師可以采取漏詞填空或者將對話打亂順序重排的方法,將聽力材料不完整地呈現(xiàn)給學(xué)生,學(xué)生根據(jù)上下文和已有信息將材料補充完整,亦可進(jìn)行聽寫、補寫或者排序訓(xùn)練。(此步驟教師應(yīng)靈活運用,根據(jù)教學(xué)內(nèi)容設(shè)定,對于較難的聽力材料可以這樣處理。)
3.Listen and repeat: 聽錄音跟讀、聽力練習(xí)后,學(xué)生已有了較完整的聽力材料,再通過聽錄音跟讀,讓學(xué)生朗讀錄音材料中的句子、問題、對話等內(nèi)容,訓(xùn)練正確的語音語調(diào),進(jìn)一步鞏固目標(biāo)語言,為后面要完成的任務(wù)打下口語基礎(chǔ)。(此環(huán)節(jié)中建議教師和學(xué)生同聽同練。)Step 3.1c 任務(wù)活動
教師根據(jù)學(xué)生掌握的情況靈活采用下面提供的方法之一:
1.Pair work: practice the conversations 結(jié)對練習(xí)對話,根據(jù)對話內(nèi)容,進(jìn)行模仿練習(xí)。
2.Make a survey: 調(diào)查匯報教師根據(jù)話題提出任務(wù),給出適當(dāng)?shù)恼Z境,通過語言或圖片等提示,可以是make a survey或者是to be a reporter等make new conversations的口語交際任務(wù),讓學(xué)生運用所學(xué)語言完成任務(wù)1。Task Two: 任務(wù)2應(yīng)該是任務(wù)1的延伸和拓展,以聽力材料的話題為任務(wù)活動中心,基本采用第三人稱,目標(biāo)語言主要為2a—2b部分的內(nèi)容,活動重點在聽和說。(2a-2b部分)Step 1.pre-listening 聽前活動 Talk about the pictures in 2a & 2b 進(jìn)行圖畫描述
2a的聽力是在1b的基礎(chǔ)上加以拓展的,難度要比1b大一些,因此,在設(shè)計教學(xué)活動的時候,要為學(xué)生搭建一個可供向上攀登的階梯——通過圖片介紹、聽力話題預(yù)熱等方式降低難度。
在進(jìn)行聽力練習(xí)前,教師可以引導(dǎo)學(xué)生就2a和2b的圖畫進(jìn)行自由表述,可以提出具體的問題啟發(fā)學(xué)生思考,帶領(lǐng)學(xué)生預(yù)測將要聽到的內(nèi)容,調(diào)動學(xué)生積極參與活動。
Step 2.While-listening 聽中活動
1.Listen and do 2a 聽錄音,完成2a部分練習(xí),經(jīng)過圖片表述以后,學(xué)生對聽力的內(nèi)容有所預(yù)知,有所了解,降低了聽力的難度。學(xué)生在聽第一遍的同時,一般能順利地完成2a的內(nèi)容, 并且為2b的聽力打下了堅實的基礎(chǔ)。在聽錄音前,教師要注意引導(dǎo)學(xué)生抓關(guān)鍵信息。
2.Listen and do 2b聽錄音,完成2b部分練習(xí),再次聽錄音,根據(jù)2a練習(xí)內(nèi)容,補充完成2b練習(xí),引導(dǎo)學(xué)生對所獲信息進(jìn)行有效篩選和處理。
3.listen and answer聽錄音,回答問題(靈活處理的環(huán)節(jié))完成2a 和2b后,教師可以根據(jù)聽力內(nèi)容再設(shè)計1-2個較概括性的問題,進(jìn)行判斷或選擇,訓(xùn)練學(xué)生辨別信息真?zhèn)蔚哪芰Α#ù瞬襟E教師應(yīng)靈活運用,根據(jù)教學(xué)內(nèi)容設(shè)定,對于較難的聽力材料可以這樣處理,容易的材料可有可無)Step 3.Post-listening 聽后活動,1.Complete the conversation /Order the conversation 漏詞填空/對話排序
設(shè)置漏詞填空時要考慮到本課的重點, 把本課的基本句式和重點詞匯等作為漏詞的內(nèi)容,讓學(xué)生在訓(xùn)練聽的同時不知不覺中強化識記了單元話題的有關(guān)詞匯和句式。
2.Listen and repeat/ Read aloud: 跟讀或朗讀(必需的環(huán)節(jié))
此時學(xué)生已經(jīng)熟悉了聽力材料,再放一遍錄音,讓學(xué)生跟讀。這樣,既可以使有限的聽力材料得到反復(fù)聽、反復(fù)用,在聽和讀的過程中培養(yǎng)學(xué)生聽、說的技能,也是幫助學(xué)生熟悉背誦語言材料的有效手段。同時,又為2c的Pair work打下了基礎(chǔ)。
Module 3 Consolidation and Extension鞏固拓展 Task Three: 任務(wù)3是本課時的中心任務(wù),是任務(wù)1和任務(wù)2的綜合和拓展,人稱混合應(yīng)用,目標(biāo)語言包括了任務(wù)1和任務(wù)2兩部分。2c Pair work Step 1. 根據(jù)對話內(nèi)容,進(jìn)行模仿練習(xí)。

第四篇:英語聽說課教學(xué)模式
聽說課模式
一、明確話題,呈現(xiàn)目標(biāo)詞匯。
二、詞匯訓(xùn)練,鞏固強化。
三、聽力訓(xùn)練,培養(yǎng)技能
四、對話練習(xí),掌握句型
五、聽力訓(xùn)練,提升能力
六、對話操練,循環(huán)提升。
七、綜合拓展,完整輸出。細(xì)節(jié)說明:
一、明確話題,呈現(xiàn)目標(biāo)詞匯。
創(chuàng)設(shè)情境,開門見山,引出話題。引出目標(biāo)詞匯的方式以學(xué)生的學(xué)情為基礎(chǔ):
1、如果學(xué)生在目標(biāo)詞匯的讀音、書寫及字義的理解上有困難,一般會與圖片結(jié)合,并配以音標(biāo)幫助學(xué)生記憶詞義和讀音。
2、如果學(xué)生對大部分的目標(biāo)詞匯都可以熟練掌握,則以頭腦風(fēng)暴的形式讓學(xué)生給出,這樣既可以激活學(xué)生舊知,讓學(xué)生體會到一種成就感,同時教師也可以根據(jù)學(xué)生的反應(yīng),確定學(xué)生的難點。
無論何種形式呈現(xiàn),教師都要根據(jù)教學(xué)目標(biāo)確定重點詞匯,如其字形,讀音,單復(fù)數(shù)的變化,同義詞等等,要有主有次。
二、詞匯訓(xùn)練,強化鞏固 鞏固的訓(xùn)練又注重讀音的,也有注重詞義的。
注重讀音一般采取師友兩人互相讀,教師采取點名學(xué)友讀,可用開火車,一個接一個的讀。注重理解,采用詞語和圖片匹配的方式。
三、聽力訓(xùn)練,培養(yǎng)技能
在這個環(huán)節(jié),有兩個目的:
1、培養(yǎng)學(xué)生抓取關(guān)鍵信息的能力,2、呈現(xiàn)目標(biāo)句型
在處理過程中,要注意引導(dǎo)學(xué)生通過文本或圖片中已有的內(nèi)容,對聽力的內(nèi)容有所預(yù)測,同時給學(xué)生進(jìn)行聽力策略的指導(dǎo)。因為生活中的語言都是有情境的,對于所要聽的內(nèi)容,聽者都會有一個預(yù)測,因此要注意培養(yǎng)學(xué)生抓住盡可能多的信息,為聽力掃除障礙。
四、對話練習(xí),掌握句型
1、教師給出對話的支架,即目標(biāo)句型。
2、教師與一個學(xué)生作對話,作為示范。
3、學(xué)生之間互相操練
4、兩至三組學(xué)生表演對話。對話過程中其他學(xué)生幫著找出他們對話中可以改進(jìn)的方面
五、聽力訓(xùn)練,提升能力
在這個環(huán)節(jié),有兩個目的:
1、培養(yǎng)學(xué)生抓取關(guān)鍵信息的能力,2、呈現(xiàn)目標(biāo)句型
六、對話操練,循環(huán)提升。這個環(huán)節(jié)的對話支架會將上一個對話中的目標(biāo)句型也呈現(xiàn)出來,達(dá)到循環(huán)上升的目的。
八、綜合拓展,完整輸出。
1、選擇與本單元話題相關(guān)的對話文章,呈現(xiàn)更為豐富的語言內(nèi)容。對于所呈現(xiàn)的篇章和對話要有適當(dāng)?shù)姆答仭?/p>
2、將本節(jié)課的目標(biāo)詞匯、句型及文章里提供的語言融合為一個對話或是報告的輸出任務(wù),讓學(xué)生與同伴交流后,進(jìn)行輸出。
補充說明:
1、語言的學(xué)習(xí)是在母語與第二語言之間建立聯(lián)系,因此翻譯在這種聯(lián)系中有重要的作用,對于課堂中的對話必須要讓學(xué)生在課堂上準(zhǔn)確翻譯。
2、大聲朗讀,多種形式的朗讀也非常重要。如跟讀、齊讀、男、女生讀、分組讀、兩兩讀等。
第五篇:小學(xué)英語復(fù)習(xí)課教學(xué)模式
小學(xué)英語復(fù)習(xí)課教學(xué)模式
----楊建兵陳繼芳宋云芬張樹瓊
【內(nèi)容提要】在小學(xué)英語教學(xué)中,復(fù)習(xí)是學(xué)生完成學(xué)習(xí)任務(wù)的必要環(huán)節(jié)。學(xué)生通過復(fù)習(xí),將學(xué)過的知識進(jìn)行回顧、歸納、總結(jié),從而達(dá)到加深理解、靈活運用的目的。復(fù)習(xí)的效率和效果在很大程度上取決于復(fù)習(xí)方法是否恰當(dāng)、科學(xué),學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的積極性是否得以充分調(diào)動。由于學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)過程中處于被動地位,雖然忙個不停,但學(xué)習(xí)效率、效果難如人意。本文闡述了有效課堂教學(xué)的概念,結(jié)合部分復(fù)習(xí)內(nèi)容的課堂教學(xué),從教師對復(fù)習(xí)課課堂教學(xué)活動的設(shè)計、實施等方面進(jìn)行了闡述,分析和探討了提高英語復(fù)習(xí)課課堂教學(xué)有效性的途徑。
【關(guān)鍵詞】復(fù)習(xí)課課堂教學(xué)有效性
一、理論導(dǎo)向:
作為小學(xué)英語課堂教學(xué)的重要課型之一,復(fù)習(xí)課在小學(xué)英語教學(xué)中占有重要的地位。但是由于受應(yīng)試教育的影響,復(fù)習(xí)課往往淪為舊知識的簡單復(fù)習(xí)再現(xiàn)或機(jī)械重復(fù)。有的老師搞題海戰(zhàn)術(shù),面面俱到,把新授課的內(nèi)容重新再現(xiàn);有些教師上復(fù)習(xí)課先是把教材上提供的練習(xí),讓學(xué)生做一做,然后再核對答案,進(jìn)行講解,一節(jié)課就這樣過去了。這樣的復(fù)習(xí)課,并不能達(dá)到復(fù)習(xí)課的目的和要求,還使老師教得勞心傷神,學(xué)生學(xué)的枯燥乏味。另外,有些老師為了讓復(fù)習(xí)課課堂像新授課那樣充滿活力和求知欲,可以營造熱鬧的課堂氛圍,設(shè)計的活動往往只注重形式,不注重實效,學(xué)生在此過程中沉迷于教學(xué)活動,跟不上復(fù)習(xí)課的進(jìn)度,無法完成復(fù)習(xí)課的學(xué)習(xí)任務(wù)。
二、功能目標(biāo):
1、能夠根據(jù)復(fù)習(xí)的需要進(jìn)行課前有效的預(yù)習(xí),選擇和收集相關(guān)的資料,為即將要復(fù)習(xí)的主題做好準(zhǔn)備。
2、積極參與課內(nèi)外的各種英語活動,抓住機(jī)會,運用所學(xué)知識盡可能與他人進(jìn)行交流。
3、能夠?qū)W習(xí)他人的經(jīng)驗,與老師和同學(xué)交流學(xué)習(xí)體會,改進(jìn)和探索適合自己的學(xué)習(xí)方法。
4、在交際中,能夠力求語音、語調(diào)的正確;能將重點放在語言的意思表達(dá)
上,而不是語法上;能夠借助非語言表達(dá)手段進(jìn)行交流,如手勢、表情等,遇到困難能夠?qū)W會尋求幫助,克服障礙.。
5、在復(fù)習(xí)過程中,能溫故知新,優(yōu)化所學(xué)知識,建構(gòu)知識體系,達(dá)到學(xué)以致用。
三、實現(xiàn)條件:
教學(xué)單詞卡片的準(zhǔn)備、調(diào)查表格,以及教學(xué)課件。
四、適用范圍:適用于小學(xué)五、六年級學(xué)生。
五、教學(xué)原則:
六、操作流程:
一、熱身活動:Let’s chant.二、梳理再現(xiàn):1.單詞訓(xùn)練2.詞句鏈接3.歸類點撥
三.交際應(yīng)用:1.整合話題2.分層訓(xùn)練3.自主展示
四.評價檢測:1.知識積累 2.整合訓(xùn)練3.話題應(yīng)用
五.家庭作業(yè):1.總結(jié)評價 2.作業(yè)布置3.課外延伸
一、操作思路:
1.以單元為單位進(jìn)行,以詞匯的積累為基礎(chǔ),以主句型的訓(xùn)練為抓手,圍繞話題進(jìn)行。
2.充分發(fā)揮學(xué)生的自主合作學(xué)習(xí),教師把握時機(jī)解難答疑,讓學(xué)生通過復(fù)習(xí)自主生成知識體系。
3.根據(jù)課標(biāo)的要求,分層設(shè)計檢測題,查漏補缺,分層達(dá)標(biāo)。
4.注重學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣的培養(yǎng),滲透學(xué)法指導(dǎo)。
5.聽說領(lǐng)先,讀寫跟上;連詞成句,連句成篇;循序漸進(jìn),整合應(yīng)用,發(fā)展語言。
例如:五年級上冊Unit 3 What’s your favourite food? 為例
一、熱身活動:聽說玩演唱畫TPR活動
設(shè)計豐富多彩,形式各異,趣味性較濃的活動,緊扣單元內(nèi)容開展熱身活動,創(chuàng)設(shè)英語氛圍,激發(fā)學(xué)習(xí)興趣,形式有:songs, chant, TPR, games, Let’s play
and do等;可以集體參與,生生對話,師生對話,小組合作,個人展示等方式進(jìn)行。
Step1熱身活動(3分鐘)
1.Free talk1、背誦本單位話題作文。
2、日常口語練習(xí):

B: I like....口語練習(xí)
教師提問:Do you like fish?(mutton,pork,eggplants,grapes,cucumbers,tomatoes)
學(xué)生用Yes,I do.或No, I don’t.回答。
二.梳理再現(xiàn):(10分鐘)
1.單詞訓(xùn)練:
低高年級分層要求,分層進(jìn)行,設(shè)計不同層次的訓(xùn)練,由易到難,由簡單到綜合,可操作為主。例如:listen and number, match, circle, spell, guess, complete the words, pass the words等.2.詞句鏈接:
在復(fù)習(xí)單詞的基礎(chǔ)上,套用單元主句型,做到詞不離句,句不離詞。可以師生問答,連續(xù)提問,小組合作,學(xué)生組句,學(xué)生提問,口頭翻譯等形式。強化重點句型的訓(xùn)練,達(dá)到熟練替換使用。
3.歸類點撥: a.語音歸納b.語法精點c.疑難分解
在上個環(huán)節(jié)的大量訓(xùn)練的基礎(chǔ)上,教師對單元的重難點進(jìn)行歸類,對比,總結(jié)等,讓學(xué)生體驗感知,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生分析問題,處理信息的能力,生成知識網(wǎng)絡(luò)體系;如果學(xué)生個人做不到的,由學(xué)生互助解決,實在做不到的,由教師給予正確答案,起到畫龍點睛的作用;重點是語音,語法和疑難點的化解等。Step2梳理再現(xiàn)(10分鐘)
(1)教師引入競爭評價機(jī)制,將學(xué)生分為4個小組,利用大屏幕上出示的單詞并進(jìn)行小組競賽。可以是小組讀,個別學(xué)生讀,也可以是小組挑戰(zhàn)賽。
(2)引導(dǎo)學(xué)生正確的評價,并給以分?jǐn)?shù)獎勵。
會話練習(xí):
教師說:Fish is my favourite food.What’s your favourite food? 學(xué)生模仿問句What’s your favourite food?的讀音。
學(xué)生兩人一組對話:A:What’s your favourite food?
B:I like....Let’s talk:
教師提問:What’s your favourite food?Why?
What’s your favourite food?Why?
(學(xué)生兩人一組朗讀對話。)
教師示范,學(xué)生操練,展示.最后讓學(xué)生能流利的進(jìn)行口語交際對話。加深對重點句型的聯(lián)系和掌握。
(在本環(huán)節(jié)中,呈現(xiàn)本單元出現(xiàn)的食物單詞,以及重點句型:What’s your favourite food?的應(yīng)用,中間可以穿插單詞的拼寫,詞組的重現(xiàn)或詞句的整合等形式。)
Step3: 梳理再現(xiàn)
Pair work(趣味操練)
①、將表發(fā)給每個學(xué)生,進(jìn)行調(diào)查班上同學(xué)或者是教師喜歡的食品,并運用所學(xué)形容詞簡單說明原因,完成兩邊表格中的句子:I like...It’s / They are...;然后討論共同喜歡的食品: I like...Do you like...?
②、向全班匯報:I like....Because they are....③、自我展示:
引導(dǎo)學(xué)生可以介紹自己的家庭成員,如:
father,mother,brother,sister....My father/mother....likes...We like....教師激勵學(xué)生盡可能的多說句子,說的多,分?jǐn)?shù)就高。巧妙的運用評價機(jī)制,激發(fā)學(xué)生的興趣。
舉例說明:
1.整合話題:
圍繞單元話題,設(shè)計綜合性的對話,讓學(xué)生整體感知語言,整體輸出語言,訓(xùn)練學(xué)生綜合運用語言的能力,完成交際應(yīng)用的最高任務(wù)。
2.分層訓(xùn)練:
針對不同年級,不同學(xué)情,進(jìn)行不同形式的交際訓(xùn)練;a.教師創(chuàng)設(shè)語境,呈現(xiàn)對話(形式多樣)。b.合作學(xué)習(xí)(practise形式多樣)。c.學(xué)生展示(check形式多樣)。d.替換練習(xí)(以單元的主句型和單詞進(jìn)行替換應(yīng)用,密切聯(lián)系生活實際。)Step4
Consolidation and extension(鞏固與擴(kuò)展)
要求學(xué)生將剛才調(diào)查到的信息,進(jìn)行加工整理后,寫在作業(yè)本上。最后教師巡視抽查幾名學(xué)生的作業(yè)在大屏幕上展示,進(jìn)行同步批改,并及時的給予評價。
或者學(xué)生之間進(jìn)行問答說唱,比一比誰能說的朗朗上口。
四.評價檢測:
針對易混易錯的題目,查漏補缺,,設(shè)計診斷性補償練習(xí),重點是考查對單詞和重點句型的鞏固和掌握,句型的應(yīng)用,,強化記憶,達(dá)到熟能生巧,自由運用的程度。
1.知識積累:重點是單詞和重點句型的單項練習(xí)(形式多樣,分層要求);例如:pork,tofu,tomato,cucumber,eggplant,beef,mutton,fish,potat,cabbage,greenbeans以及beanmilk,bum,oilsticks,porridge,dumplings,ricenoodles等.達(dá)到認(rèn)讀的目的.2.整合訓(xùn)練:重點是句子和短文;
例如: 根據(jù)上下文填空, 根據(jù)上下文選擇,閱讀理解,閱讀判斷正誤,閱讀選擇,聽短文填空,聽短文判斷,聽短文選擇等(story-time,dialogue,text)
3.話題應(yīng)用: 重點是對優(yōu)等生和高年級學(xué)生。
根據(jù)單元話題,聯(lián)系生活,口頭描述;圍繞單元話題,聯(lián)系生活體驗,寫短文。
Step4 評價檢測(分值:100分時間10分鐘)
五.家庭作業(yè):1.總結(jié)評價 2.作業(yè)布置3.課外延伸(2分鐘)
回顧話題,體現(xiàn)主體,形成體系;家庭作業(yè)的設(shè)置應(yīng)具有針對性,可操作性和實效性;低年級可以設(shè)置聽讀看誦等作業(yè);高年級設(shè)置仿抄寫編等作業(yè);根據(jù)學(xué)校實際,開展豐富多彩的課外活動,以彌補英語課時的不足,保證學(xué)生每天都有練習(xí)英語的時間和機(jī)會。
Step5Homework
