【摘 要】以Learning to deal with disagreements in college課外閱讀為例,兩節同課異構的課外閱讀教學公開課為例,比較兩位老師的教學環節與設計意圖,對觀摩老師起到很好的指導示范作用,有助于他們吸取好的精華用在今后的教學活動中,并且提升自身業務素質和水平。
【關鍵詞】高中英語;同課異構;課外閱讀
一、引言
同課異構,就是同學科選取一個課題,由兩個或以上教師進行獨立備課,根據各自的教學設計在不同的平行班級上課,聽課后進行比較研究。筆者就本學校舉行的“百花獎”教學比賽中兩位老師的課外閱讀同課異構課的教學環節進行比較與反思。兩位老師各自巧妙的設計與不同的教學風格,引發聽課教師思考與感悟。
二、話題導入
好的開端是成功的一半。好的課堂導入是英語教學過程的重要環節之一,能夠快速抓住學生的注意力,激發學生關于本話題的背景知識,從而提高課堂效率。
教師A:頭腦風暴法
T:Suppose you are a freshman of Stanford University, please list the possible differences between your middle school life in China and your college life in the USA.
Ss:List the possible differences that they might encounter:Campus size;study flexibility;independence; self-discipline;activities; voluntering; orientation...
教師B:設置疑問導入法
T:What comes into your mind when you see the picture? (教師呈現一張Q形狀的圖)
S:The letter—Q? Flaming ribbon? Planet? The sun? An elf (小精靈) ? A magic mirror? Golden tadpole(蝌蚪) ?
T: We can call it disagreements. We can have disagreements with our classmates and parents.How about your future college life? During the four years, we have disagreements or even conflicts. Then how to deal with disagreements in college?
評析:兩位老師的導入都非常的簡單高效,耗時不超過五分鐘,且緊扣文本的關鍵詞disagreements。值得一提的是,教師B的方法層層遞進,從問題到引出disagreements關鍵詞,到disagreements in college。學生特別感興趣,完全被帶入文本。
三、閱讀過程設計
教師A:
Step 1: Finish the structure of the passage.
Part 1(Para. 1) T____ of the passage Part 2(Para. 2—6) My first-day e____ in college Part 3 (paras. 7-11) My l____ back on my college life
Step 2: Reading comprehension
Part 2
1)Read para.3 and think about why “enormous” and “endless” are used here.
2)Read paras. 5-6 and sense the authors reaction to the interviewers comment.
Part 3:
1)Read para. 7 and see how the author dealt with the disagreements in college.
2)Whats the function of para. 8?
3)What do the underlined words “those extra steps” in para. 9 refer to?
其中有個別問題答案的呈現,教師A采用圖片形式,非常直觀,吸引眼球。如第八小節的功能是echo,如下圖所示:
教師A擅長追問學生,當學生的答案中提及comfort zone,教師A會接下去問What are the possible benefits that“comfort zone” can bring us?以及What if we stay out of the comfort zone?
課堂生成的東西更為顯示教師的教學功底與教學機智。
教師B:
Step 1: Structure
Part 1(para 1 ) Brief ____ to the topic Part 2(paras 2-7) An __ on the first day
Part 3(paras 8-11) A ______ learned from college experience.
Step 2:Read for detailed information (paras 2-7)
Task 1: True or false
評析: 從兩位教師設計的題目任務來看,都花了很多的心思,形式多樣。教師A的任務相對簡略些,但基本的閱讀障礙都通過問題形式解決了。教師B的任務設置較多,問題設置有梯度,還設置了批判性閱讀的環節。他們的活動旨在讓學生了解文章內容后,培養學生進行細節理解的能力。
四、輸出與升華
教師A:
Cross-fire: The traditional argument holds that “great minds think alike”.VS But if we always hang out with the like-minded, we will lose our individuality and end up being all the same.
教師B:
Writing: Amy is a freshman (大一新生) and she is at a loss as to how to get along well with her roommates . As her best pen friend, write a letter to give her some advice on how to get along well with her roommates.
評析:最后的活動設計兩位老師分別采用了辯論和寫作的形式,前面所有的文章梳理都是為了這個環節,學生有了前面的系統操練,對文章內容熟悉且有話可說。學生的參與度高,課堂氣氛活躍。
五、反思
筆者從這兩節課中獲益匪淺。兩節課的教學設計都樹立了以學生為主題的思想,把握閱讀的整體教學,精心設計閱讀過程。對觀摩教師不斷創新教學方法,形成科學的教育理念起到巨大的促進作用,提升他們的教育教學水平的質量。endprint
