五、说明及反思
本节课围绕人物“外貌”为话题展开教学活动,通过对人物身高、体重、头发等重要特征的学习来达到能够生动、形象地描述人物外貌的目的。教学的重点在于熟练地掌握相关的单词和重要的句型。教学的难点在于综合运用语言来描述人物外貌及培养学生准确捕捉听力材料中信息的能力。下面就谈一谈在教学中教师对听说课中 “说”和“听”的处理。
(一)听说课之“说”
众所周知,语言输入是语言输出的前提,没有大量的语言输入就无法实现语言输出。因此,教师在本节课的教学中采用以下几步引导学生语言学习:
1.分层次处理生词。本节课描述人物外貌从三方面入手,即头发、身高、体型,在教授单词时不是一次性全呈现,而是分三段呈现,每次呈现单词后,紧跟对话练习,三讲三练。讲授头发的描述词时,由一词修饰头发到两词修饰头发,并引导学生总结规律,巧记描述头发的形容词顺序。在讲授有关身高的形容词时,用一张同年龄段的3个男孩的照片当例子,使学生对学习内容一目了然。
2.全员操练语言结构。本单元话题为“外貌”,对外貌准确描述的口语输出能力是建立在对相关的词汇及句式的掌握上。词汇和句式要做到能上口,必须要经历一个操练的过程。在本节课中,对学生的训练充分,在讲授新单词时,采用领读、齐读的方式,让所有学生熟练发音。在句型的操练中,有师生对话,有生生对话,有小组内的链条式对话,学生参与度广。学生只有做到有效参与,才能真正地投身于学习活动之中。
3.设计真实语言交际活动。学生要学会在真实的情境中成功地进行交际,教师要设计真实语境让学生在做中学。在本节课的任务中,设计了班级要开家长会,而教师不认识大多数家长,请学生帮忙在组内调查学生的父母的外貌的调查活动。在调查活动中,不仅强化了语言知识,而且让学生体会到“做中学”的乐趣。
4.形式多样的活动设计。听说课设计的活动要以学生的兴趣为出发点,创设贴近学生生活的情景,使活动具有可操作性。在单词练习中,设计了贴图的游戏,让学生把人物图像与单词匹配粘贴,在游戏中,学生进一步巩固了单词。并且以小组为单位完成人物特征,培养学生的合作意识。
(二)听说课之“听”
听说课教学设计前要对听力任务进行研究和分析,根据学生的实际水平、认知特点和需求设计听力活动,听力活动的有效性是活动设计的关键。
1.听前活动的目的及活动设计:听前活动设计的目的是引导学生进入听力状态,为更好地听做好各方面的准备,降低听力理解的难度。在本节课中,听前让学生观察图片,回答 How many people are there in the picture? Where are they? 通过学生的识图回答问题,对听力内容进行了预测,图画配合帮助学生理解听力材料的内容,使教学情景化。
2.听中活动的目的及活动设计:听中教学目的是理解语篇承载的信息和感知新语言结构在实际情景中的运用。在本节课中,学生通过听力材料,快速捕捉信息点,找到图中人物。同时教师还根据听力内容的需要,学生语言知识和技能的发展设计了填写表格的任务,泛听和精听相结合,培养学生运用语言的能力。
3.听后活动的目的及活动设计:为了进一步感知和操练所学语言知识并在一定情景中运用所学语言知识,以形成新的输出能力。在本节课的听力后,教师设计了让学生再次描述Amy 朋友的外貌,使学生在真实情景中完成任务。endprint
