摘 要:《初中英语课程标准说明》提出阅读的要求是能根据上下文和构词法推断,理解生词的含义;能理解段落中各句子之间的逻辑关系;能找出文章中的主题,理解故事中的情节,预测故事情节的发展和可能的结局。本文笔者就江苏省牛津英语8A unit6 Reading 《Birds in Zhalong》课堂教学实录及校内外“同课异构”的教学思考进行仔细整理,与大家共同探讨。

教學实录
Step1 Free talk
用多媒体展示一些“鸟”的图片,运用Free talk形式让学生说出鸟的名称以及鸟的不同部位。
T: Which bird do you like best?
S: I like --- best.
T: Why?
S: Because ---
T: Great! It’s right. Can you describe it?
S: No problem. It is ---
T: That’s right.
接着用同样的方法展示麻雀、天鹅、鹰的图片,最后展示鹤的图片。这一环节,皆在复习所学的内容以及训练学生的口语表达能力,为接下来的Reading 教学做铺垫。
Step2 Presentation(展示中国地图,用圆圈标出黑龙江所处的位置)
T:Where is Zhalong Nature Reserve?
S: It’s in Heilongjing Province.
T: Zhalong is a special place---
目的是帮助学生对Zhalong自然保护区有一个初步的了解。
Step3 Fast reading
1.To find the answers to the following questions:
(1) Why is Zhalong a special place?
(2) What animals live in the special place? Why?
2.Guess the meanings of some new words.
主要是让学生养成快速阅读的习惯,能抓住文章的基本意思,同时在阅读中理解生词,这对词汇的学习也是特别有帮助的。
Step4 Further reading
T: Read the text again and tell the following sentences“True”or“False”.
(1) Zhalong is an important wetland nature in the world. ____
(2) Birds can find food and cover in Zhalong. ____
这个步骤的设计旨在让学生进一步熟悉课文,同时要求他们读的更细致,能抓住比较详细的信息辨别对错。
Step5 Detail reading
T: Read the text for the third time and fill in the blanks according to the text.
We are______cranes. We like living in_______.We live in Zhalong_________. Zhalong _____us enough food and ______. Every year many _____come to see us. But some people want to change our home to make more _____ for _____ and _____. This means there will be _____ and ______ space for wildlife and the number of us is getting ______and______, We are _____birds. But many people don’t understand the importance of protecting us. What shall we do? Please help us!
这一轮的阅读要求学生要细读课文,抓住更加详细的信息,并能回答更细致的问题。
Step6 Try to answer to give as much information of each part as possible.
T: Listen to the tape and read the text for the fourth time, then get the students to complete the following table
这一环节的设计进一步让学生加深了对课文的理解,同时也锻炼了学生的口语表达能力和胆量。
Step7 Discussion(展示盐城自然保护区的画面)
T:This is Yancheng Nature Reserve, it is a very beautiful reserve, many cranes are living there. As a Grade 8 student, what should you do and what shouldn’t you do in the reserve?
S1: We should walk slowly.
S2: We should walk quietly.
S3: We speak in a low voice.
……
这一环节的设计,旨在进一步训练学生的口语表达能力,更让他们意识到保护鸟类的重要性,这也正是本单元的宗旨所在。
教学思考
上述实录课就是以竞赛的形式贯穿始终,把繁琐的、枯燥的阅读课教学变得生动起来,增强了学生的团队协作意识和集体荣誉感,让学生们在紧张而又愉快的氛围中度过了45分钟,也使学生的阅读能力在潜移默化中得到了提高。
“问渠那得清如许,为有源头活水来”。在英语教学过程中,阅读课是学生理解和吸收语言知识的重要手段,能给学生提供更丰富的教育教学资源,有助于学生开阔视野、丰富语言知识、扩大词汇量和了解英语国家的社会信息及文化底蕴等。
