常常在思索,什么樣的英語課算一節好課。在經過這幾年的實踐探索后發現,好課的標準的確名目繁多、眾說紛紜,但有一條應該是眾口一致的,那就是——好課,應該是一個有機的整體,是一出完整的演繹,是一曲有起有落、高低起伏的樂章。于是,給每一節課找一條主線成為一節課構思的起點與重點。
下面我將以《牛津小學英語5B》Unit 8 At the weekends第一課時設計思路為例,展示一條主線演繹的精彩:
Step 1.Warming up
(1)Enjoy a song:If you are happy.
(用一首歌曲激活課堂氛圍,帶領學生進入英語的語言狀態。)(2)Introduce the new teacher.
(拉近老師和學生的距離,同時利用猜謎的形式激發學生好奇心。)
(3)Go traveling around ChangZhou.
(利用好地域差異,帶領學生感受常州,以此引出“weekend”這一話題。)
(4)Talk about the students’weekends.
(對相舊知識的復習。)
Step2.Presentation
(1)Play a game to guess Sunny’s weekends.
T:I see you all have nice weekends,How about Sunny?Do you want to know?
S:Yes!
T: But please guess! Here’s a sentence for you.(在猜測中孩
子會自主挖掘腦中的語言素材,積極思維。)
(2)How do you spend your weekends? I often... Sometimes I ...
T: Actually, I often surf the internet and watch cartoons. Sometimes I make paper flowers.(show it and read“I often ...Sometimes I ...”)
T:How about you?How do you spend your weekends?
(Show and read the sentence:How do you spend your weekends?)
(Try to read : spend.)
T:How do you spend your weekends?
S:I Often ... Sometimes I ...
T:How about your friend?an you ask him or her ?
S1:Hello,... How do you spend your weekends?
S2:I Often ... Sometimes I...(3-4 pairs.)
(把兩句話擴展為一個語篇,向生活英語靠攏,使交際更為有效,實用。)
(3)How does ...spend his/her weekends?He/She often...Sometimes he/she …
T: Now I know your friends’weekends,do you want to know my friend?
S:OK.Look!Who’s my friend?(Sound recording:Hello,I’m Mickey.Nice to see you!)
S: Nice to see you!
T: Who can ask Mickey about his weekends?
S: Hello, Mickey.How do you spend your weekends?
(Sound recording:I often play chess.Sometimes I do housework.)
T:So how does Mickey spend his weekends?
S:(Try to say.)He often plays chess. Sometimes he does housework.
(Show and answer together.)
(用米老鼠作為老師的朋友來教授第三人稱句型,學生更感興趣,人機對話更增添神秘感和交際性。)
T:Mickey and his mother have nice weekends.And Sunny’s family has nice weekends, too.Would you like to have a look?
(Show some pictures about teacher’s family,and try to say:Your... often...)
(讓學生了解老師家人的周末生活,并嘗試用新句型來討論。)
How about you and your family? Let’s have a talk.
(Show a dialogue and practice in pairs.)
(跟同桌聊聊自己和家人的周末,有生活基礎,學生比較愿意說。)
(4)listen,watch and choose.
Have a relaxation,watch the cartoon, to know the bear and fox’s weekends.
(第一遍請同學們專心欣賞動畫片,第二遍時出示任務,要求學生看完后作一個選擇反饋,完成一個聽力理解訓練。)
(5)To be a reporter.
T:Now let’s try to be a little reporter.To interview your best friend. And finish the report.
(用采訪的形式,讓學生以記者身份完成一篇采訪道,然后在黑板上布置出一塊展板:Colorful weekends.)
從以上教學過程中我們不難發現,整節課緊緊圍繞“weekend”展開。先以學生的生活為基點,讓學生用已學句型來描述自己的周末,既是對舊知的復習,也是為新授打下伏筆。
而反饋環節,我也設計了兩個與weekend有關的練習。首先看一段動畫,讓學生看完后就“the fox and the bear’s weekend”完成一段聽力練習,做到“聽”的輸出。然后我又以一個“To be a reporter”的環節,讓學生做一次小記者,采訪自己的朋友,完成一篇采訪報道,然后在小組中交流,最后讓一些同學在班中交流。把所有人的報道布置在黑板上完成展板“colorful weekends”。這是一個“說”與“寫”的輸出,課堂效果也非常明顯。
一條主線,讓學生在富有整體感的環節中感知習得;一條主線,讓課堂變得靈動而富有生命力。尋一條主線,我們就可以演繹一節課的精彩!
