人教版Book 2 Unit 2 The Olympic Games词汇课的教学设计

河南省郑州市第十六中学 昝亚娟

本文通过对教学内容、学生能力的分析,从全新的教学理念出发,以The Olympic Games课文为例,结合笔者自主开发的教学资源——丘索维金娜的励志故事,以词汇巩固为导向,设计出从课文导入、巩固关键词汇拼写、巩固词汇运用、词汇变形到课后作业布置的一整套行之有效的教学方案,在充分发挥学生主观能动性、提高学生运用英语词汇的能力的同时,培养学生的英语思维,以期达到新课标对学生词汇量和词语运用能力的要求。

词汇教学;学生能力;先进理念;教学设计

1.教学内容分析

众所周知,语音、词汇和语法是构成语言的三要素。单词是最小的语言单位,所以词汇学习是语言学习的基础。语言学家David Wilkins说过:“Without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed.(没有语法能交流的内容很少,没有词汇则什么也不能交流。)”由此可知,英语词汇的学习是第一重要的。2000年,Dellar和Hocking 出版了Innovations一书。书中谈道:“If you spend most of your time studying grammar, your English will not improve very much.You will see most improvement if you learn more words and expressions. You can say very little with grammar,but you can say almost anything with words.”毫无疑问,学习词汇和短语是提高学生语言能力的关键。

本单元有47个单词和5个短语。但是,教师精选18个重点词汇,把它们的单词变形列出来写在学案上,让学生事先预习。本节课重点关注本单元的5个核心词:compete、stand for、charge、admit、deserve和它们的用法,提升学生在具体语境灵活使用词汇的能力。

2.学生情况分析

本节是一节高三年级的词汇复习课。学生在高一学习过一遍单词和课文,因此对这些单词和短语的意义有了基本的了解。通过提供语境让学生进行体验和感知,使他们能在句子和语篇中准确掌握单词和短语的用法,从而使词汇知识有所拓展,语言能力得到发展。

3.学习目标

(1) Knowledge and skill objectives:

At the end of the class, the students will

①enlarge their vocabulary by learning the rules of word formation;

②master the usages of some key words and phrases by doing different kinds of exercises;

③be able to use proper words to express their ideas freely when talking about the Olympic Games.

(2) Emotional objectives:

At the end of the class, the students will

①get inspiration from Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team and develop a sense of national pride;

②find out what the true Olympic spirit is by sharing their opinions on three topics;

③develop the students’ critical thinking by discussing some hot topics and instilling moral values in the students.

4.教学步骤

Step 1 Leading in

Watch a short video about the Chinese Women’s Volleyball team winning the fi nal in the Rio Olympic Games

Question: What helped the Chinese Women’s Volleyball team to succeed in the end?

【设计意图】用中国女排在2016年里约奥运会夺冠的视频作为导入,旨在引出本单元的话题:the Olympic Games,可以激发学生的学习兴趣,提升民族自豪感,为本节课的词汇复习打下良好的基础。

【设计意图】高三英语复习备考的任务之一就是针对考纲列出的3500个基础词汇进行系统的复习和梳理。复习课的宗旨是帮助学生夯实基础,构建知识网络。在巩固基础语言知识的同时,提升语言技能。由于制作了学案,教师布置学生在课前写出本单元的18个重点单词的词性转换,引导学生根据构词法积累和巩固词汇,从而扩大词汇量,为培养语言技能打下良好的基础。

Step 3 Consolidate the usages of some key words and expressions

(5) deserve

Complete the following sentence.

【设计意图】本环节通过选词填空、英语释义搭配、同义单词和短语替换、完成句子等词汇练习复习和拓展本单元所学的重点单词和短语,不仅引导学生在不同语境中灵活运用所学单词核心词汇和短语表达思想,而且培养学生用英语思维的习惯,促进语言运用能力的发展。

Step 4 Complete the passage using the proper forms of the given words

When American gymnastics superstar Simone Biles was born in 1997, Oksana Chusovitina had already won fi ve world 1_______ (medal) and an Olympic gold.When Biles’ teammate Laurie Hernandez was born in 2000, Chusovitina was already the mother of a young son. When Gabby Douglas made her Olympic debut in 2012, Chusovitina 2_______ (compete) in her sixth Games.

A list like this could go on and on, because there might be no other 3_______ (athletic) in history like 41-year-old Chusovitina, who was in Rio for her seventh Olympics. Aly Raisman, the U.S. team’s captain, was 22 years old, and she was returning for her 4_______(two) Olympic Games. Her teammates refer to her as“Grandma Aly” because of her age. While she may 5______ (consider) old in the sport, she has quite a ways to go if she wants to match Chusovitina as the 6________ (old) woman to ever compete at the Olympics in gymnastics.

When 7__________ (interview), Chusovitina admitted that it was her son’s disease that drove her to return. She took part in the 1992 Barcelona for 8_______ first time, and won a gold medal. In1996,she retired. She could have lived a peaceful life, but 9___________ (fortunate), her son was diagnosed with leukemia (白血病). She decided to return to her former career.

In Rio, Chusovitina was competing 10______competitors who are the same age as her 17-year-old son Alisher, she still met the challenges without fear.That is why she deserves our respect.

(1. medals 2. was competing 3. athlete 4. second 5. be considered 6. oldest 7. interviewed 8. the 9.unfortunately 10. against)

【设计意图】词汇学习是发展语言能力的基础。语言学习的最终目的是为了与他人进行交流。本环节选取2016年第七次参加奥运会的体操运动员丘索维金娜的励志故事,改编为一篇短文填空题。通过语篇训练,让学生在语境中巩固本节课所学的词汇。采用高考题型训练,实现了基础词汇复习与高考的对接。通过本文学生对丘索维金娜的故事有所了解,为下一环节组织学生展开讨论做了一个很好的铺垫。

Step 5 Discussion

Topic 1: Can you say something about Chusovitina taking part in her seventh Olympics at 41?

Topic 2: What helped the Chinese Women’s Volleyball team to win a gold medal?

Topic 3: Some athletes have taken drugs to boost their competition results. What do you think of it?

【设计意图】前面的几个环节是语言输入练习,学生通过各种教学活动感知词汇的意义和用法,逐步构建语言知识。本环节属于语言输入练习,通过引导学生对三个话题:“你如何看待41岁的体操运动员丘索维金娜第七次参加奥运会?”“中国女排为什么能最终夺冠?”“你如何看待一些运动员为取得好成绩而服用兴奋剂?”展开讨论,鼓励学生使用本节课学习过的词汇表达思想。精选的三个讨论话题新颖时尚,具有强烈时代特点。既有积极正面励志的人物,又有负面的事件,目的是培养学生的批判性思维能力,引导学生辩证地看待社会热点问题。通过讨论热点社会问题,学生使用英语表达自己的观点,很好地实现了语言知识的内化,由语言知识的积累升华到语言能力的形成。在讨论中,启发学生深入思考什么是真正的奥运精神,从而树立正确的人生观和价值观。

Step 6 Homework

The 2022 Winter Olympic Games will be held in Beijing and Zhangjiakou. Suppose you are Li Hua, a high school student. Now you are going to write a letter of application to be a volunteer. Your writing should include:

(1) why you want to be a volunteer;

(2) making a list of your advantages;

(3) hoping to be admitted.

Write no more than 120 words. The beginning and ending have been given.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Li Hua, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Yours,

Li Hua

【设计意图】本环节仍围绕奥运话题来设计课后作业。以“2022年北京、张家口举办冬季奥运会”为背景,布置学生写一封申请信,申请成为下一届奥运会的志愿者。通过为学生提供一个真实的交际情景,引导学生正确运用所学的词汇表达思想,实现了学以致用的目的。

5.本节课的亮点

5.1 用先进的教学理念引领教学设计

根据建构主义学习理论,知识不是通过教师传授得到的,而是学习者在一定的情境下,借助于他人(包括教师和学习伙伴)的帮助,利用必要的学习资料和媒体,通过意义建构的方式而获得的。笔者用建构主义理论引领本节的教学设计,注重为学生提供生动有趣的学习情境,引导学生通过感知、体验和讨论等活动自主构建知识,逐步发展语言能力。由于教学理念先进,教学目的明确,教学环节设计合理,教学活动紧紧围绕教学目标开展。

5.2 突出学生的主体地位

本节课设计了各种不同的教学活动,调动学生积极参与课堂活动,突出了学生的主体地位。避免了传统的教师讲、学生听的被动的教学局面。而且,学生在课堂上有充足的发言、讨论和展示的机会,学习积极性高涨,有利于学习目标的达成。

5.3 教师自主开发教学资源

要想把复习课上出新意,教师应自主开发教学资源。本节课精选中国女排在巴西奥运会比赛夺取冠军的视频和41岁第七次出征奥运的体操运动员丘索维金娜的励志故事,不仅提高了课堂教学的趣味性,而且充分发挥了语言教学的人文性。通过自主开发教学资源,不断提升教师自身的专业能力。

5.4 教学目标全面

针对本节词汇复习课,教师设定的既有知识技能目标,也有情感目标。教学设计以奥运话题为中心,所有的例句都与奥运会和体育运动密切相关,学生在复习基础词汇的同时,加深对奥运会和体育运动的了解。最后,通过对三个问题展开讨论,引发学生思考什么是真正的奥运精神、如何从女排夺冠中汲取精神力量、如何看待运动员服用兴奋剂事件。通过开展讨论,传播正能量,培养学生正确的人生观和价值观,提升学生的人文素养。

5.5 注重方法指导和培养英语思维习惯

笔者非常注重对学生的学习方法进行指导,体现在第二步利用构词法复习本单元所学的核心词汇。学生能根据构词法来记忆词汇,由此英语学习变得非常容易,这是英语学习成功的关键。笔者设计了不同形式的练习,注重培养学生的英语思维习惯,有助于培养学生的综合语言运用能力。

总之,本节课在词汇复习教学方面进行了有益的尝试,取得了良好的教学效果。作为一线教师,只要我们不断学习教育理论,潜心研究教学,就能设计出更好的教学方案,既满足学生未来发展的需要,又提升自己的专业能力。
