四、教学过程摘录

1.教师引导学生关注文章关键词，借助电子辞典中收录的词典，结合原文加深对文学作品中细节描写的理解。

Which of the following statements can best describe that “the lodge was uninhabited”? Underline the key words which help you get the answers.

a. There was a padlock and a chain upon the gate.

b. I called in my dream to the lodge keeper, and had no answer.

c. ...and peering through the rusted spokes of the gate...

d. No smoke came from the chimney.

e. ...the little lattice windows gaped forlorn.

f. The drive wound away in front of me.

g. (the drive) was narrow and unkept.

h. There was Manderley, our Manderley, secretive and silent as it had always been.

根据文中的大量细节描写，学生可以猜测uninhabited的含义，通过查询英汉双解词典明确该词的中英文释义，并进一步查询近义词词典找到该词的近义词。（图一）在此基础上，教师引导学生重点关注描述细节的语句，借助英汉词典划出最能体现uninhabited情景的词汇。（图二、图三）

2.阅读理解部分处理完毕之后，教师引导学生关注文中一句话:“...the portrait of Caroline de Winter is a Raeburn...”，并提出问题:“What/who do you think “Raeburn” (line 5) is?”

A. Caroline de Winter’s husband

B. The painter of the portrait

C. A famous style of painting

在学生无法从文章上下文获取相关信息时，教师应引导他们使用英语多词典查询功能，以便得到详尽的解释。（图四）

derision (extract 1 line 34)

brittle (extract 1 line 39)

hamper (extract 2 line 26)

五、教学反思

教学策略正在为越来越多的教师所关注并研究，其中词汇学习策略教学更是一个有益的探索。既然电子辞典能够成为学生学习的有效工具，那么教师就有必要思考如何引导学生正确、有效地将这些功能应用到自主学习中去。

阅读英美文学作品对于提高学生的语言欣赏能力、培养英语语感有着不可低估的作用，而阅读中出现的大量生词往往成为吓倒学生的“拦路虎”。电子辞典的适当应用可帮助他们解决大量自主阅读时遇到的词汇难题。如果教师重视词汇学习策略的指导，学生的词汇学习将更加有效，其阅读活动也会逐渐由被动变为主动。
