作為一名高中外語教師,我非常注重在外語教學中滲透德育教育,結合教材中每個模塊的話題設計一些活動來幫助學生形成正確的情感態(tài)度和價值觀,下面是我上過的一節(jié)比較成功的課。
一、教學案例描述
本節(jié)課選自高中英語外研版(新課程)選修7 Module 3 Reading and Vocabulary(1),以查爾斯·狄更斯的作品《霧都孤兒》的精彩片段為素材,幫助學生了解文章的主旨大意并掌握相關詞匯。從讀和說等方面談論小說的人物及情節(jié),使學生更加了解查爾斯·狄更斯文學作品的時代背景和深刻的社會意義,有利于提高學生的文學修養(yǎng)。通過對主人公Oliver Twist苦難童年的描述,學生能深刻體會到舊時代孤兒們的窮苦和無助,更加珍惜現(xiàn)在的美好生活,這就是本節(jié)課的德育目標。
二、教學過程
Step One. Introduction
Give students some information about Charles Dickens and his novel “Oliver Twist”.
Activities: (1) Show some pictures about Charles Dickens and his works.
(2) Show them a passage which is a brief introduction about the novelist and “Oliver Twist”.
(3) Show them a picture about “Oliver Asks for More”. Get Ss to describe it according to the six questions in the textbook.
說明:本部分為背景介紹。通過向學生展示狄更斯及其作品的相關圖片,使學生了解作者和作品的相關信息,從而激發(fā)學生閱讀名家名著的興趣。
Step Two. Prereading
Activities: (1) Dealing with two vocabulary exercises to help students get over the language barrier before reading.
(2) Show them a short video, which is a forecast of the film “Oliver Asks for More”.
說明:此環(huán)節(jié)為讀前部分,包括兩個任務。其一,通過詞匯練習使學生在讀前掃除詞匯障礙。其二,通過展示預告片使學生通過視覺了解本文的主要情節(jié),更直觀地了解主人公的悲慘童年,從而導入課。
Step Three. Whilereading
(1)Fastreading.
Task: choose the best summary of the passage.
(2)Carefulreading.
Task one: Read the text carefully and fill in the blanks with the information in the text.
Task two: Read the text again and choose the best answers.(以下選擇題略去選項)
1. The bowls the boys used never needed cleaning because .
2. Which of the following sentences CANNOT describe the boys hunger?
3. When Oliver went to ask for more food, his feeling was .
4. When Oliver asked for more food, the wardens face became very pale because he was .
說明:此環(huán)節(jié)主要是鍛煉學生泛讀和查讀的閱讀技能,培養(yǎng)學生的總結能力和對文章中心思想的把握能力。細節(jié)問題的設置幫助學生不僅對文本信息獲取得更全面,更真切地體會到Oliver的苦難生活,促使學生同情弱者,認清資本主義社會的丑惡。
Step Four. Postreading
Task One: Discuss and express your idea.
1.How did you feel after reading this passage ? Explain why.(angry, sad, amused, terrified, frightened)
2.How would you have felt in a similar situation? Would you have asked for more? Why/Why not?
Task Two: work in groups and act out the scene you have just read.
說明:學生通過小組討論,更深入地理解作者的寫作意圖。最后讓學生分角色表演課文中“Oliver Asks for More” 這一片段,不僅將本節(jié)的語言知識以表演的形式進行語言輸出,更給學生機會將他們的感受展示出來,同時也增強了本節(jié)課的趣味性。
三、教學反思
《英語課程標準》中倡導學生以體驗、實踐、參與、合作與交流的學習方式去完成教學任務 ,在語言學習過程中形成積極的情感態(tài)度,主動思維和大膽實踐,提高跨文化意識和形成自主學習能力。正是從這理念出發(fā),我在課堂教學中設置了小組討論、角色扮演等活動形式,讓學生很自覺地參與到語言學習中來,十分自然地理解小說中的情節(jié),感受主人公Oliver的痛苦無助、其他孤兒們的膽怯和旁觀的富人們的冷漠。本節(jié)課很好地完成了知識、技能和德育目標。
