語言點情景化教學模式鼓勵學生在“情境中學習、情境中運用”,對文本教學內(nèi)容起到一定的豐富和活化作用,起到活學活用的效果。這樣的教學模式能激發(fā)學生學習主體地位和作用,增強學生學習主觀能動性。同時構建和諧的課堂教學氛圍,優(yōu)化課堂教學過程和方法,并且能夠培養(yǎng)學生自主學習和主動探究能力,提高他們語言運用技能。該種教學模式運用使得學生的語言學習思維和語言感知得到有效激活,更利于提高課堂教學效果。
如何處理語言點,讓學生從死記硬背的苦海中解脫出來,從“苦學”到“樂學,愛學”是困擾我多年的問題。當我嘗試使用語言點情景化教學后,發(fā)現(xiàn)學生對英語的學習的態(tài)度變得積極了。下面是我對模塊二第二單元reading語言點教學的具體案例。
Step one: Review
Read the text and prepare for answering questions.
1. Before traveling, what is Toby busy with?
2. While traveling, what should people wear when going whitewater rafting?
3. What is their traveling route?
4. Which of the following is their traveling route?
A. Morocco → Britain → Tanzania → Kenya → China
B. London → Morocco → Kenya → Tanzania → China
C. China → Morocco → Kenya → Tanzania → Britain
D. China → Britain → Morocco → Kenya → Tanzania
Fill in the blanks according to the text.
Toby and his older brother, Colin are busy a trip to Africa. They plan to take a to Morroco. They will be traveling through the Sahara Desert for nearly a week, in tents and on the ground. To ensure an exciting, adventurous and comfortable trip, they will take along enough of water and food. While going whitewater down the River Nile, they should wear special clothing, just they fall into the water. After that, they will go on to see wild animals in Kenya. If they come too near, their guides can use guns to these animals.Mountain climbing is another plan. Though it can be , they will have enough rest in order to have a comfortable trip.
這部分是對上節(jié)課全文理解的一種復習,從而讓學生回憶起故有知識,起到“溫故而知新”的效用。
Step two: language points
在處理這一部分的時候,我先用了幾個問題,引出將要學習的語言點。
1)What we can do before we travel?
2)What can we see while traveling?
3)After traveling, what do we feel?
對于問題,學生給出了很多開放性的答案,而且這些答案都是正確的,因此調動了學生學習的興趣;然后我再總結,從而引出知識點。如:What we can do before we travel? 我的總結是Before traveling, we had better make arrangements for the trip,trips,such as supplies of water,food,money...從而引出arrange 和supply 兩個重要單詞,同時我利用投影提供較多的例句:
She arranged her work before going on holiday.
I have arranged for a car to meet you at the airport.
Ill make arrangements for you to be met at the train station.
讓學生閱讀,觀察和總結并模仿其用法:
(1)Toby最近一直在忙于和Colin度假的事。
Toby has been busy with Colin.
(2)學校給我們安排了下周一的英語講座。
Our school next Monday.
(3) 我已經(jīng)安排瑪麗去機場接你。
I have you at the airport.
在這種訓練中,學生能很快地在語境中記住詞的具體用法。
在第三個問題中,我引出了After traveling, we may feel tired . 和學生一起學習了tire 這個詞的用法。在學過用法之后,利用tire 的固定短語 be tired from 和be tired of 結束語言點的學習。Traveling is sometimes tiring, and we may be tired from traveling. However we will never be tired of traveling. Studying is sometimes tiring, and and we may be tired from studying. However we will never be tired of studying, After all, never too old to learn. 在圖片和語言點練習的穿插中,學生輕松的完成了語言點的學習。
Step three: consolidation (writing)
這一部分要學生用剛才所學的語言點和同學合作,在8分鐘內(nèi)完成一篇60字左右的英文小短文:A travel experience in...
Words and phrases:arrange supply; get injured / done; feel / be tired; be scared, in case(of); ..., doing...
在完成習作之后選出3名學生做小組代表,誦讀自己的文章。因為所學內(nèi)容已經(jīng)很熟悉,學生的習作完成的很好。有了良好的反饋,學生的學習有了回報,自然也就樂于學習了。
語言點情景化教學的運用是優(yōu)化教學過程的需要,能培養(yǎng)學生語言的綜合運用能力,幫助學生在接近真實的語言學習環(huán)境下學習和使用英語,激活了學生學習思維,增加了語言文本背景知識,提高學生的語言實踐運用能力。
