虽然阅读应该是个体行为,但对文本的理解与意义的构建经常是在学生间、师生间的协商互动中产生的。本课例阅读活动的设计关注了文本信息的获取,但缺乏对学生能否真正理解文本信息的互动检测,建议教师可以在学生说出有关未来购物将要变化的信息时,适时与学生互动。例如,教师可以提问:What basic things do you think people will buy on the Internet? Can you give some examples?
在学生说出有关未来购物不会变化的信息时,也适时与学生互动,例如,教师可以提问:W hat other special things do you think people will buy in the stores? Can you give some examples?这样的师生互动过程既检测学生对basic things及special things的理解,又将文本信息与学生生活紧密联系在一起,真正体现了信息获取的过程。
本课例教学内容为北师大版《英语》七年级Book11 Unit3 “Houses and homes”中的Lesson 11“Is there a restaurant near here?”本课话题是谈论周围环境。本课第一课时为听说课,学生将通过听对话,获取有关某个场所的位置的细节信息。本课涉及的功能句为there be句型。学生通过本课学习,将能够用英语口头询问某个场所是否存在及该场所的具体位置,并能描述自己家周围的环境。
在本课例中,当学生表达“There are four hospitals near my school.” “There are three bookstores near my school.”时,教师可以分别与学生适时地互动: “Really? It's so convenient for you to go to see the doctor!” “Oh, you're so lucky. You can get books you need very easily.”
本课例的教学内容为北师大版《英语》八年级Book14 Unit 9“Good Health”中的Lesson 33“You should get some fresh air.”本课话题是谈论身体健康。本课第一课时为阅读课。学生将通过阅读一段对话,获取有关Jerry病情、病因以及医生建议的细节信息。本课涉及的新的语法知识是以情态动词should/shouldn't表达建议的意义和用法。本课结束时,学生将能够初步使用should/shouldn't对健康问题提出适当的建议。
首先,教师可以在引导学生回顾Jerry病因后提出问题:“W hat did the doctor do after he knew Jerry's problem ?”学生将回顾医生对Jerry所说的话,归纳出医生的建议。
接下来教师继续提问: “What suggestions did the doctor give Jerry?”这时学生将再次回顾医生给Jerry提出的各种建议,其中还含有已经学过的祈使句“Why don't you ⋯”等。这时教师可以把所有表达建议的句型都呈现在PPT上,请学生观察有几种不同的句型,哪些是今天新出现的表达建议的句型,这时学生对用情态动词should/shouldn't表达建议的语法意义就有非常深刻的印象了。
本节课是初三总复习的一节写作复习课,话题是谈论旅游经历,学生将通过复习与旅游相关的词汇、短语、句型,逐步成描述自己一次旅游经历的作文。作文题目要求如下:假如你叫李华,最近和美国朋友Jim 通过邮件谈论各自的旅游经历,请你根据他的问题回复邮件。Jim 的问题如下:1.Where have you been for a trip? 2.What did you do
during the trip? 3.How did you feel about the trip?
执教教师针对本课复习内容在导入环节进行了如下设计。首先,教师在PPT上呈现自己在大海边旅游的一张照片,并提出问题引出本课话题。教师与学生交流如下: “Do you like traveling? I like traveling very much. OK. Today, we are going to talk about traveling. D o you remember some words about traveling? First, let's go over some words.”接着,教师在PPT上呈现与旅游活动相关的词汇与短语,引领学生朗读。
建议教师可以将此环节进行改进。首先,教师将自己旅游的图片呈现出来,引导学生关注图片并提问: “Look at the picture. Can you guess w here I have been to have a trip? Have you ever been to som e place to have a trip? Where did you go?”学生通过回答教师以上问题,首先关注教师旅游的地方,进而回顾自己曾经旅游过的地方。
接下来,教师可以以其旅游经历引导学生回顾自己的旅游经历并复习相关词汇。教师可以设计如下互动内容:“You know I w ent to the beach last year. And I did lots of things there. I watched the sunrise, took som e photos and went swimming in the sea. I was very happy. What did you do? Can you share with your partner?”这时学生会仿照老师回顾自己在旅游过的地方所做的活动,高兴地讲述自己的经历,并非常感兴趣地倾听别人的旅游经历。
之后教师可以引导学生朗读相关的词汇或短语以备写作时熟练运用。这时,教师仍然以互动的方式呈现所朗读的词汇,教师可以设计如下问题: “Just now , everyone talked about what you did during your last trip. Do you remember all the good memories? Let's say together.”
