引導(dǎo)模仿是英語語法教學(xué)的起點(diǎn)

兒童是通過模仿成人的話語而學(xué)會(huì)語言的。遵循兒童語言發(fā)展的基本規(guī)律，教師可通過讓學(xué)生模仿自己的語言表達(dá)，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生理解和掌握新授語法；通過創(chuàng)設(shè)語言情境，開展師生會(huì)話。例如：

T：I went to Mountain Tai last summer vacation. And I took some pictures there. Where did you go last summer vacation？And what did you do there？

S1：I went to Huaguo Mountain. And I saw a lot of monkeys there.

T：Huaguo Mountain is in Lianyungang. It’s very famous in China.

S2：I went to Suzhou Park and had lots of fun there.

T：You went to Suzhou Park and had lots of fun.Wonderful!

S3：I went to Jiuzhaigou last summer vacation. And I...

T：And you watched the sky there？

S3：Yes. It was so blue and so beautiful.

在此片斷中，首先示范一般過去時(shí)的句子：I went to Mountain Tai last summer vacation. And I took some pictures there.然后向?qū)W生提出問題。盡管每一位學(xué)生的回答幾乎是機(jī)械模仿了老師的示范句，但是之后學(xué)生的語言輸出不僅模仿了結(jié)構(gòu)，并且內(nèi)容是反映學(xué)生真實(shí)生活的鮮活話語。模仿教學(xué)既避免了機(jī)械性句型操練的單調(diào)和乏味，又賦予話語以交際意義，有效地訓(xùn)練了一般過去時(shí)的用法。

因此，引導(dǎo)模仿是英語語法教學(xué)的起點(diǎn)。教師要引導(dǎo)學(xué)生在觀察大量語言材料和進(jìn)行充分語言實(shí)踐的基礎(chǔ)上，通過探究式的學(xué)習(xí)方式，自己去發(fā)現(xiàn)語言運(yùn)用的規(guī)律，為在真實(shí)的交際情景中運(yùn)用這些語法規(guī)則做好鋪墊。
