【教學(xué)反思】

這節(jié)閱讀課的設(shè)計是基于“四步體驗法”課堂教學(xué)范式的基本理念進行的一次嘗試，筆者通過創(chuàng)設(shè)各種虛擬或真實的情境，組織多元化的活動，進行體驗性學(xué)習(xí)課堂教學(xué)范式的探索與實踐。

本節(jié)課的教學(xué)內(nèi)容來自譯林版《英語》九（下） Unit1 Asia Reading第一課時，本單元的主題內(nèi)容屬于“人與社會”范疇中“歷史、社會與文化”這一主題群，涉及子主題“世界主要國家的文化習(xí)俗與文化景觀、節(jié)假日與慶祝活動”。在前一課時，學(xué)生已經(jīng)了解了具有中國傳統(tǒng)特色的事物和值得參觀的名勝景點，對中國文化產(chǎn)生了濃厚興趣和期待。在教學(xué)過程中，筆者以真實或虛擬的情境引發(fā)學(xué)生自主閱讀有關(guān)北京和桂林兩座城市的說明文，依托語篇開展多層次的理解活動，探究主題意義和核心價值。在閱讀活動中，筆者整合課程內(nèi)容六要素，注重學(xué)生閱讀的情感體驗和思維過程。學(xué)生通過比較閱讀，在體悟了中國文化的豐富多彩和源遠流長的同時，也進一步增強了對祖國的熱愛之情。
