從事英語(yǔ)教學(xué)二十多年,閱讀教學(xué)方法總是停留在傳統(tǒng)方法上,難有突破。在今年暑假參加SABEH的課程,接收到來(lái)自美國(guó)一線教師的教學(xué)理念后, 我開(kāi)始對(duì)閱讀的教學(xué)有了一些新的思路,繼應(yīng)用MINDWRITE來(lái)進(jìn)行有關(guān)人物的閱讀文章的教學(xué)后,我又開(kāi)始探索故事型閱讀文章的教學(xué)。在這個(gè)閱讀教學(xué)中我應(yīng)用了來(lái)自SABEAH的老師的教學(xué)策略,這個(gè)的策略的精華主要在于讀前:This is a pre-reading technique that integrates prediction, summarization, vocabulary instruction and story frames. The purpose is to generate reading interest in a text by getting students to predict the plot outcome of a narrative or the main idea of an expository text. 主要的過(guò)程包括:(1)Select important terms and concept from text to be read. (2)Have the students categorize them according to the story or the text using the graphic organizer. Narrative elements would include setting, characters, problems, outcomes, unknown words, to discover. Expository elements would include who, what, when, where, why, how. (3)Then have students write a gist statement by making a prediction about the plot of the story or the main idea of the text using as many of the words as possible. Also, have students generate a list of things they want to discover about the reading. 4. Have the students read the story or text and compare their gist statements to the version they predicted. Then have the students modify their predicted story or text to make it a summary.
我嘗試應(yīng)用這個(gè)教學(xué)策略來(lái)教學(xué)北師大教材模塊三的第八單元第四課journey to the Antarctic ,以往這篇文章學(xué)生常常因?yàn)槲恼码y且趣味性不大而讀不下去,應(yīng)用這個(gè)方法,我充分地調(diào)動(dòng)了他們的興趣。首先,我從文章中找出這樣的一些關(guān)鍵詞:journey ,Antarctic, race, winter, spring, teams, Scott, Amundsen, food, break down, run out, rocks, disaster, food, diary, death. 然后給了學(xué)生幾個(gè)區(qū)塊:CHARACTERS, SETTING, CONFLICT/PROBLEM, RESOLUTION/OUTCOME, UNKNOWN WORDS. 讓學(xué)生把關(guān)鍵詞按區(qū)塊進(jìn)行討論歸類,接著分小組對(duì)故事內(nèi)容進(jìn)行猜測(cè),并用關(guān)鍵詞組成各自的故事梗概,然后每個(gè)小組派一個(gè)代表來(lái)進(jìn)行闡述,學(xué)生充分發(fā)揮了自己的想象力,用同樣的幾個(gè)詞組成了各自的五花八門(mén)的故事梗概,這樣學(xué)生的積極性已經(jīng)得到了充分的調(diào)動(dòng),同時(shí),組詞成文和小組協(xié)作能力也得到鍛煉。與此同時(shí),學(xué)生對(duì)了解故事的真實(shí)情節(jié)也充滿了期待。這時(shí),我才給他們布置閱讀任務(wù):(1)Read "The Interlopers". As a result, pay attention to the context in which the words from today's activity appear. (2)For each word, explain how it fits into the story including whether or not you categorized each word accurately. (3)Revisit your gist statement to see how it aligns with "Journey to Antarctic" and write a short statement about this. 學(xué)生帶著這樣的任務(wù)饒有興趣的進(jìn)行閱讀,整個(gè)驅(qū)動(dòng)力以及教學(xué)的效果都是傳統(tǒng)教學(xué)所無(wú)法匹及的。他山之石可以借鑒,這次培訓(xùn)讓我不僅接觸到新穎的教學(xué)理念,還學(xué)到許多新穎有用的教學(xué)技巧和方法,我還會(huì)繼續(xù)探索更多好的適用不同文章類型的閱讀教學(xué)方法。
