一、引言
目前高中英语教学中,师生都非常重视听力教学,很多学者对听力教学进行了研究,并形成了行之有效的教学策略。也有非常多的学者在研究英语写作教学,取得了一定的成就,还有不少学者研究了利用高中英语阅读促进学生写作能力的提高策略。更有部分学者在大学中研究了利用听力教学促进学生写作能力的提高,如:田小玲,田建国(2010),董晓民(2011),李川(2013),王欣(2015),刘海燕(2013),王录(1996)等研究了大学听力教学与英语写作教学的整合,提高了大学生写作水平,增强了他们学习英语的自信心。张江华(2010)研究了如何整合听说读来促进初中生写作水平的提高,提高了初中生的英语写作水平。张彩霞(2014)研究了利用高中教材中的听力模块促进高中英语写作教学,该学者在进行听力训练的基础上,开展了形式多样的训练,如:听材料写大意,改听力材料为完形填空,听材料发表感想,对听力材料进行英汉翻译,听材料仿写练习等。本文旨在采用任务型的教学模式把听力教学和写作教学结合起来,探究听力教学促进写作教学的教学效果。
二、听力任务型教学
日常教学实践中学生听力水平不高,一方面是因为他们自身的原因,另一方面也有教师的原因。不少学生没有养成正确的听说习惯,发音不准确,词汇积累少,加上听力氛围差,授课时教师训练方式单一,没有对听力练习进行相应的改编,听力难度与学生的实际水平不一致,导致课堂效率低,学生无兴趣。因此教师可以采用任务型听力教学模式,改编出符合学生最近发展区要求的听力练习,使听力课堂高效有趣。下面以人教版英语选修7 Unit 3 Under the sea的Workbook中Listening (P62)以及Listening Task (P65)的内容为例,对听力任务型改编练习加以说明。该课的中心话题是“shark attack”,改编练习的原则是引发学生对shark现状的关注和思考,为后续写作主题protect shark做铺垫。
Step I Leadin
1.通过几幅鲨鱼和人们吃鱼翅的图片了解学生对鲨鱼的理解。Q1.Whats your first impression of shark when see these pictures? Q2.Should shark fin soup be served? Why?
2.观看一则新闻报道:Shark attacks are on the rise! 引出话题:Q3.When might people meet with sharks?Q4.Why do sharks attack people? 这种图片和讨论的形式可以活跃课堂气氛,激发学习兴趣,并引入本课话题:应不应该保护鲨鱼?
Step Ⅱ Listening
1. Listening task 1: Listen to the news report about shark attack.
听前给学生布置听力任务:Listen to the news report on shark attacks and number the places where the attacks happened in order.
Perth
South Australia coast
Hawaii
Seal Rocks, New South Wales
North Queensland coast
2. Listening task 2: Listen again and complete the following sentences.
①A man was attacked by a shark yesterday and received cuts to his leg and foot, but his injuries being not serious, he is recovering at home.
②A girl aged 13 had her left arm just below the shoulder bitten off by a shark and was resting comfortably in hospital.
③A man, who is 30 years old, was bitten on the left side of his body and upper arm by a 2meter shark in the morning and has been taken to hospital by air.
④A man, 49 years of age, had his leg torn off by a 5.8meter great white shark at 6:30 am this morning and died soon afterwards.
⑤A man, aged 23, had his leg and large part of his body taken by a great white shark and bled to death shortly after on Tuesday.
通过本部分听力训练,使学生了解到鲨鱼是一种凶猛的动物。然后向学生提出以下两个问题。
①Do you think sharks that harm people should be hunted down and killed?
②Do you think it matters how many sharks are killed by people?
通过对这两个问题的思考,引出下一步的听力任务:让学生了解鲨鱼的真实现状。
3. Listening task 3:
(1)Listen to Jordan Davies interviewing the shark expert Don James to decide which statement he agrees with. (T or F)
( ) There are hundreds of sharks waiting in the sea to attack humans.
( ) Millions of sharks are killed by people each year while only a few people are killed by sharks.
( ) Shark populations grow at a slow rate.
( ) Sharks should be protected rather than killed.
( ) Sharks have been on the earth for 40,000 years.
通过本段落的听力训练,学生可以大致了解鲨鱼的现状:人类杀死鲨鱼的数量远远超过鲨鱼伤害人类的数量。
(2)Fill in the blanks to complete the supporting details.
①The chance of being bitten by a shark is extremely small. Millions of swimmers, surfers, snorkelers and divers that go into the sea, but only a few got killed by sharks.
②A lot of sharks are killed by modern fishing technology; sometimes they are caught on purpose for their fins.
③a. Age for female sharks giving birth to young: 15 years old.
b. Time for the young to develop before birth: 14 months.
c. Number of young: 7-9 young.
④Governments should take action to protect the most endangered animals. Otherwise they will die out.
通过上述任务,学生可以了解到鲨鱼的生存环境越来越恶劣,旨在帮助学生树立保护鲨鱼的意识。
三、任务型听力基础上的写作教学
学生在完成了上述任务型听力的练习后,对鲨鱼的现状有了一定的了解,他们自然而然地会想到要保护鲨鱼,这样就为接下来的写作做好了铺垫,因此教师可以布置写作任务,巩固学生的听力知识,培养他们的发散思维,提高他们的写作能力。
According to what weve learned about shark in the listening, do you think “Should we protect shark?” Write an article about it.
Part 1 The description of sharks situation.
Part 2 The reasons why we should protect or hunt shark.
Part 3 Your opinion about protecting or hunting shark and the reasons.
听力和写作的过程中,始终贯穿了一个提纲挈领的中心线索,即以话题为中心,以“了解人们对鲨鱼的误解,关注鲨鱼的生存现状,促进生态系统平衡”为主线,围绕“餐桌上的鱼翅汤——鲨鱼伤人——鲨鱼被猎杀现状——保持生态系统平衡”的连贯思路精心创设,为整堂课的教学互动提供了一个载体。课堂教学主线清晰,学生的注意力就会集中,思维就会活跃。这种听力和写作的结合,可以改变教师的教学理念,提高课堂教学效率,促进学生更有效地综合运用英语知识。
四、结束语
在平时的听力教学实践中,教师要采用任务型教学模式,对学生的学情进行分析,改编听力练习时,内容设计要趋于生活化、简单化、梯度化,以调动学生英语听力学习积极性和主动性为宗旨,在教与学的互动中完成听力教学任务和达成学生的听力学习目标。听力任务型和写作教学的结合,有助于学生通过写作来复习巩固所听内容,训练了他们听力水平的同时,也促进了他们写作水平的提高。听力和写作相结合的教学模式可以提高学生综合运用英语语言的能力,将课堂还给学生,激发他们的学习兴趣,调动他们学习的主观能动性,最终实现他们自主学习的目标。任务型听力和写作教学相结合的教学模式,学生可以在教师的指导下,通过感知、体验、实践、参与和合作等方式,轻松完成教学任务,高效达成教学目标。
