如何设计高中英语阅读课教学活动
1.“课堂导入”活动设计
导入活动应尽可能简洁高效,针对性强,能够在短时间内激活学生相关的背景知识,激发学生的求知欲望,时间一般控制在5分钟以内。常用的活动形式有(1)头脑风暴 (2)讨论(3)提问等,要充分利用多媒体平台,有效利用与文本话题相关的视听材料,调动起学生的各种感官,激发他们的求知欲。
2.“整体感知”活动设计
“整体感知” 即把握主旨大意和篇章结构,整体理解文章。在活动设计过程中要善于抓文章的标题、主题句和关键词等。例如Book6 Unit4 THE EARTH IS BECOMING WARMER – BUT DOES IT MATTER? 这是一篇杂志文章,主要讲述了地球温度上升的现象和原因,以及不同的科学家对这一现象的不同看法。这篇文章有着杂志文章典型的特征:有标题,导语,图表、引言、段落由主题句统领等。设计教学活动时要充分利用这些特点,让学生去整体感知文章内容,把握结构脉络。可设计如下教学活动:
Activity 1: Glance quickly at the magazine article and answer the questions:
1)Who wrote the magazine article? What is the name of the magazine?
2)What are the two graphs about?
3)What are the names of the three scientists mentioned in the article?
4)What do they think about global warming? Do they agree with one another?
5)What is the main topic of the article?
Activity 2: Skim the article and find out the main idea of each part.
Part 1(Para 1)Explain how global warming comes about.
Part 2(Para 2-5)Introduce the topic of global warming.
Part 3(Para 6)Should we do something about global warming?
Part 4(Para7)Different attitudes among scientists towards global warming.
3.“问题探究”活动设计
针对文本的内容、语言结构特征,设计问题,在问题的引领下,让学生进行探究式学习。设计问题时要注意抓住主要事实和关键信息,揭示文章的深层涵义,锻炼学生的分析归纳能力和逻辑推理能力。例如Book6 Unit4 THE EARTH IS BECOMING WARMER – BUT DOES IT MATTER? 在细读环节可设计如下教学活动:
Task 1:Read the article carefully and answer the questions. List the main ideas and major details.
1)What is global warming?
2)How has this come about?
3)What are the positive and negative effects of global warming?
Task 2:Discuss the question in groups of four: Should we do something about the global warming? You may use some arguments from the article.
4.“语言训练”活动设计
语言目标的达成需要结合文本语境,贯穿文本的理解过程,尽可能多的在课堂内重现目标词汇,还可按照呈现——复现——操练——运用的步骤围绕主题有层次地进行词汇操练,实现目标词汇在课堂内的循环。教学活动可以采用猜测新词,词汇替换,文段改写填空练习,也可进行运用词汇问答、复述、讨论或者佳句、佳段赏析背诵等。还以Book6 Unit5 AN EXCITING JOB 为例,设计读后活动如下:
Complete the paragraph about the writer’s first experience of volcano eruption.
I was __fast__ asleep when my bed began __shaking__ and I heard a __strange__ sound, like a train __passing my window. Then suddenly I found my bedroom become as __bright_ as day and red hot lava __fountaining_ hundreds of meters into the air. The next day, two other scientists and I wanted to get close to the __crater_. We put on white protective __suits , __helmets_, big __boots_ and special __gloves_, which made us look like ___spacemen__. We slowly ___made our way__ to the edge of the crater to collect some __lava__ for later study.
总之,阅读教学是高中英语教学的重头戏。要搞好阅读教学教师必须充分解读文本,准确定位教学目标,合理设计和有效实施教学活动,才能有效培养学生的综合语言运用能力,提高阅读课的教学效率。
