在最近的高中英語(yǔ)課堂教學(xué)聽(tīng)課活動(dòng)中,有不少教師把自己要問(wèn)學(xué)生的每一個(gè)問(wèn)題(無(wú)論難易)都做成課件,上課點(diǎn)鼠標(biāo),讓學(xué)生按教師課前預(yù)先設(shè)置好的問(wèn)題進(jìn)行回答,而不是按照課堂上各種情況不斷出現(xiàn)適時(shí)巧設(shè)問(wèn)題進(jìn)行問(wèn)答。結(jié)果這種人機(jī)對(duì)話造成了課堂氣氛沉悶、師生間問(wèn)答缺乏真情實(shí)感、缺乏真摯的思想碰撞和交融的局面。師生問(wèn)答顯得冰冷、書(shū)面化、呆板不靈活及學(xué)生被動(dòng)情況的出現(xiàn)。加之問(wèn)題不能貼近學(xué)生日常實(shí)際生活,學(xué)生對(duì)教師所問(wèn)相關(guān)問(wèn)題又缺乏生活體驗(yàn),造成學(xué)生回答問(wèn)題有困難或不愿回答教師的提問(wèn)并直接作出否定回答。基于上述情況的出現(xiàn),我在處理人教版高中英語(yǔ)選修6第三單元A healthy life中Warming up時(shí),摒棄了不少教師的習(xí)慣做法,不用課件,與學(xué)生進(jìn)行直接、平等、民主、自然和隨意的對(duì)話交流,即使學(xué)生對(duì)我的設(shè)問(wèn)給予否定回答,我依然順勢(shì)發(fā)問(wèn),改變問(wèn)題方向,使師生問(wèn)答繼續(xù)深入下去,確保了設(shè)問(wèn)的有效性,使Warming up真正收到了實(shí)效。師生間的問(wèn)答是這樣展開(kāi)的:

在教師與學(xué)生之間展開(kāi)問(wèn)答時(shí),學(xué)生對(duì)教師的提問(wèn)有兩次給予了否定回答,如果此時(shí)教師讓學(xué)生坐下,那么問(wèn)題對(duì)這兩個(gè)學(xué)生來(lái)講一定是無(wú)效的,原因是兩個(gè)學(xué)生此時(shí)無(wú)問(wèn)題體驗(yàn),不好回答。為了使師生之間的交流得以繼續(xù),教師很快調(diào)整了問(wèn)題方向,變無(wú)效問(wèn)題為有效問(wèn)題,且問(wèn)題與學(xué)生密切相關(guān),從而將師生間的對(duì)話繼續(xù)順利深入進(jìn)行下去,以達(dá)到為學(xué)生進(jìn)入閱讀部分學(xué)習(xí)熱身的目的。因此,課堂教學(xué)有效性和學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的主體性得以展現(xiàn)出來(lái)。從案例可以看出,教師課堂教學(xué)的有效性反映在教師問(wèn)題設(shè)置的有效性上,如果教師把課堂上要問(wèn)學(xué)生的問(wèn)題都放在課件上,并按預(yù)先設(shè)置好的程序提問(wèn),會(huì)對(duì)給予否定回答的學(xué)生課前未作出預(yù)測(cè),在上課時(shí)突然出現(xiàn)這種情形,會(huì)使教師感到束手無(wú)策,預(yù)先設(shè)置好的程序被打亂,師生間的對(duì)話一時(shí)無(wú)法進(jìn)行,或者教師干脆讓否定回答的學(xué)生坐下,另叫其他學(xué)生回答。教師這樣做會(huì)使作出否定回答的學(xué)生失去回答的機(jī)會(huì),會(huì)使他們的思維得不到激活,久而久之這些學(xué)生得不到練習(xí)說(shuō)的機(jī)會(huì),就很難張口說(shuō),學(xué)習(xí)的主動(dòng)性就不能發(fā)揮不出來(lái)。學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的主動(dòng)性往往又取決于他們思維是否得到啟發(fā),是否被激活。當(dāng)教師設(shè)問(wèn)被學(xué)生否定時(shí),正是教學(xué)有效性潛藏的時(shí)刻,正是考驗(yàn)教師把握并挖掘出有效問(wèn)題的時(shí)刻,也正是考驗(yàn)教師應(yīng)變能力,為教師轉(zhuǎn)換問(wèn)題角度提供最佳時(shí)機(jī)的時(shí)刻,同時(shí)也考驗(yàn)教師如何將無(wú)效問(wèn)題向有效問(wèn)題轉(zhuǎn)化,對(duì)教師既是挑戰(zhàn),也為教師創(chuàng)造了一次絕好的應(yīng)變鍛煉機(jī)會(huì),如果教師經(jīng)常抓住并能運(yùn)用這種良機(jī),不錯(cuò)過(guò),不放棄,教師的教學(xué)智慧、教學(xué)的有效性和實(shí)效性定會(huì)逐步提高。
