【關(guān)鍵詞】背誦默寫(xiě) 閱讀英語(yǔ)故事書(shū) 交流 周記或日記
培養(yǎng)小學(xué)生的英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作能力,既是小學(xué)英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)中的重點(diǎn)也是難點(diǎn)。近年來(lái),我在小學(xué)五六年級(jí)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)中,做了一些嘗試,并取得了一定成效?,F(xiàn)在我把自己的一些探索毫無(wú)保留地介紹出來(lái),目的在于拋磚引玉,求教于大方之家。
小學(xué)生經(jīng)過(guò)四年級(jí)的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí),培養(yǎng)了對(duì)英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的興趣,積累了一定的詞匯,也掌握了一些常用的寫(xiě)作技能。所以上了五年級(jí)后,我在英語(yǔ)的教學(xué)中,有意識(shí)地側(cè)重寫(xiě)作能力的培養(yǎng)。
一、盡可能多讓學(xué)生熟讀課文,最好能達(dá)到背誦、甚至能默寫(xiě)英語(yǔ)的熟練程度
實(shí)踐證明:能按我的要求做的學(xué)生,他的英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作能力都有明顯的提高。這是因?yàn)樵谒熳x的過(guò)程中自然而然地就掌握英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作的基本技能。如:我在授完
Last year, Gogo, Jenny and Tony went to the beach. Tony wrote along letter. Tony asked Gogo: “Do you have an envelope, Gogo?”But Gogo has none. “How about stamps?” I asked again, “No, but you can buy some.”But Tony didnt want to waste Tonys money. Jenny came and asked: “Who are you going to send it to?”“Im going to send it to my friend, ” Tony said, pointingto an island, “He lives on that island.” Suddenly, Tony had a good idea. Tony put the letter in a bottle. Jenny is confused. She asked“What are you going to do?” I threw the bottle into the sea.
“Look, ”Tony said, “I can send it in a bottle!” Gogo was excited. “Wow!”Gogo said, “Great idea!”But… “Whooooooosh!”A big wave came. It sent the bottle back. I shouted: “Oh, no!It came back”.Gogo said: “Come on, Tony. Lets buy some envelopes and some stamps.”We all Laughed.
這篇短文能充分體現(xiàn)出學(xué)生對(duì)課文的從感性到理性,從理論到實(shí)踐的感悟。只要能按我的要求做的學(xué)生,他們的寫(xiě)作能力都有明顯的提高,自然而然地孩子們就掌握寫(xiě)作的基本技能。
二、多閱讀英語(yǔ)故事書(shū)(最好有圖畫(huà)或漫畫(huà))原因在于擴(kuò)大學(xué)生的知識(shí)面、培育興趣、陶冶情操,提高欣賞能力
如:我在授完
One day, Gogo went to the shopping mall with me. I went to look for some food. Gogo went to the toyshop “Hey, whats that?”Gogo asked, pointing at a black hat.“Its a hat.” Said the seller, “Its a magic hat.” “Hey, I can do magic!” Gogo was interested.“How much is the hat?” “Its a hundred dollars.” She said. “WWWWWOOOWWW?。?!Thats expensive! Can I try it?” Gogo cant believe is. “Sure.” The seller answered. Gogo started doing the magic”“A chicken… A lion?” Then, a big hole appeared above me, and a big hand caught me. I was in the hat!??!
這段短文能體現(xiàn)出學(xué)生樂(lè)學(xué)的情境,把學(xué)生帶入“引人入勝”的境地,能真正激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣。在擴(kuò)大學(xué)生的知識(shí)面、培育興趣、陶冶情操同時(shí)也能提高孩子們的欣賞能力,一舉兩得。
三、組織學(xué)生參加活動(dòng),比如郊游、文藝表演、體育比賽等,讓學(xué)生把活動(dòng)的過(guò)程、參加的體會(huì)、心得用英文寫(xiě)出來(lái)進(jìn)行交流
如今年十月份的中山泉林山莊秋游、廣西南寧市的柔力球比賽以及學(xué)校的體操比賽等等,通過(guò)這些活動(dòng),孩子們結(jié)合課本里的知識(shí),加上已有的英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ),很多孩子都能用簡(jiǎn)單的句子把過(guò)程描述出來(lái)。
如:我教完了開(kāi)心版
We went exploring in the forest. We were happy... Jenny said: “Here we are! Lets look for some insects!”But Gogo said in a mystery voice“I never look for insects. I usually look for cookies!”We were surprised: “Cookies! Do you usually find them?...” When we were talking, I saw a snake. It was looking at us.I was frightened... etc.
這就是給學(xué)生拓展了創(chuàng)新思維的空間,讓孩子們通過(guò)做中學(xué),學(xué)中做(Learning by doing)的形式來(lái)提高孩子們的寫(xiě)作水平。
四、堅(jiān)持用英文寫(xiě)好周記或日記,最初只寫(xiě)自己,慢慢的擴(kuò)展到寫(xiě)自己熟悉的人或事,由易到難,由簡(jiǎn)單到復(fù)雜,逐步推進(jìn)……
如剛開(kāi)始孩子們的英語(yǔ)作文:
Summer holiday is coming.I am going to Beijing with my family. I am going by plane.I am going to stay in a hotel. I am going to have a picnic. I am going toeat some snack. I am going to fly a kite. I am going to see the Great Wall of China.I am going to take some photosand do tai chi. We are very happy.This is a good summer holiday.
通過(guò)慢慢的擴(kuò)展到寫(xiě)自己熟悉的人或事,由易到難,由簡(jiǎn)單到復(fù)雜,逐步推進(jìn)……大多數(shù)孩子們現(xiàn)在能寫(xiě)出以下的英語(yǔ)作文:
Hello! My name is Lucy. I am a sunny girl. I have many good habits.In the morning I brush my teeth quickly . I wash my face politely. I comb my hair softly. In the evening I finish my homework carefully and quickly .After dinner I take out the trash regularly. Then I clean up my room quietly .I am busy, but I am happy. Because I am a helpful girl.
綜上所述,盡可能多讓學(xué)生熟讀課文,達(dá)到背誦、甚至能默寫(xiě)英語(yǔ)的熟練程度;多閱讀英語(yǔ)故事書(shū),擴(kuò)大學(xué)生的知識(shí)面、培育興趣、陶冶情操,提高欣賞能力;組織學(xué)生參加活動(dòng),讓學(xué)生把活動(dòng)的過(guò)程、參加的體會(huì)、心得用英文寫(xiě)出來(lái)進(jìn)行交流,堅(jiān)持用英文寫(xiě)好周記或日記等,可以讓學(xué)生變“要我寫(xiě)”為“我要寫(xiě)”,使英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作真正成為小學(xué)高年級(jí)學(xué)生內(nèi)心的一種需要,在多角度立意的基礎(chǔ)上,使自己的作文充滿(mǎn)了真情實(shí)感,充滿(mǎn)新意。
