《Goldilocks and the three bears》教学实录
2016-10-13钱希洁
【编者综述】
孩子们喜欢故事,老师也喜欢故事,因此,通过故事的方式引导小学生学习英语已经成为当前一种有效的英语教学方式。《义务教育英语课程标准》(2011年版)在“语言技能”二级要求中就英语故事教学做出如下描述:“能听懂简单的配图小故事,能在教师的帮助下和图片的提示下描述或讲述简单的小故事,能正确朗读所学故事或短文,能在教师的帮助下表演小故事或小短剧。”为此,当前很多小学英语教材都在权重板块设置了“Story Time”,旨在通过故事的方式引导学生开展富有趣味的英语学习活动。确实,故事教学给小学英语课堂带来了新的活力、新的气象,然而,当一些英语小故事被抹上过于浓重的“教学味”的时候,它们在学生眼中便失去了原有的魅力,所谓的“Story Time”也就或多或少地缺失了故事该有的滋味。因此,如何使故事教学更具有故事的味儿,也是我们当今面对的一个重要课题。多年来,钱希洁老师对此进行了深入的实践与探索,本文主要以她执教的译林出版社出版的《义务教育教科书· 英语》(五年级上册)Unit 1 Story time板块中的故事“Goldilocks and the three bears”教学中的几个片段为例,阐述了她对小学英语故事教学的思考,旨在与广大同行朋友们探讨:如何使小学英语故事教学散发出更为浓郁的故事味。我们相信,这样的探讨对于其它学科的教学,也有一定的借鉴意义。
