中小学教育资源及组卷应用平台
一、课标内容解读
英语课程标准(2011年版)指出英语课程既要培养学生基本英语素养,也要发展学生思维能力,达到提高学生综合人文素养的目的。其中,课标明确要求,义务教育九年级结束时,学生各项技能应该达到五级能力水平。 在听说方面,体现于能听懂有关熟悉话题的谈话并从中提取信息和观点,借助语境克服生词障碍,理解大意;能就简单的话题提供信息,表达简单的观点和意见,能与他人沟通信息,合作完成任务。 因此,在听说课教学中,可以通过以下方式来培养学生的听说技能: (1)听前提出需要解决的问题,明确具体任务,学生熟悉背景; (2)听中听取信息并注意听力技能的渗透; (3)听后根据听力话题表达个人观点,并在小组合作后大胆展示。 在读写方面,学生既能读懂相关水平的读物和杂志,克服生词障碍,理解大意。能根据阅读目的,运用适当的阅读策略,找出文章主题,获取细节信息和简单描述人物事件。输出时根据图示表格写出简单文段,并根据提示起草和修改小作文等。 在阅读课教学中,需做到以下几个要点: (1)阅读前要给学生文本中相关作者和小说的背景知识,扫清阅读障碍; (2)阅读时设计不同的阅读任务,引导学生使用不同的阅读技巧和方法; (3)阅读后帮助学生梳理知识点,拓展思维,为写作做好铺垫。 在语言综合运用的写作课教学中,可以通过以下方式开展: (1)写前提供足够的背景材料作为支撑,明确语法知识,理清写作框架; (2)写中分析写作要点,学生构建写作框架; (3)写后展示文章,多样化进行点评与反馈。 同时,新课程标准强调语言教学应从学生的兴趣、生活经验和认知水平出发,倡导体验、实践、合作与交流的学习。因此本模块在教学时应注重从学生日常生活出发,注重激发学生的学习兴趣,结合学生已有经验进行学习建构,促进学生发散思维,并在学习过程中引导学生进行讨论交流,。
二、教材版本内容及课时说明
本教材取自外研社版九年级上册Module 7 Great books 的三个单元。本模块的话题围绕名人、名著开展听、说、读、写教学活动,在语言的运用上渗透了一般现在时被动语态的用法,同时,在文化品格上也鼓励学生多进行有益的阅读。 具体课时说明如下: (1)Unit 1 We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideas. 课型:Listening & Speaking,本课授课1课时,时长40分钟。 (2)Unit 2 It is still read and loved. 课型:Reading,本课授课1课时,时长 40分钟。 (3)Unit 3 Language in use. 课型:Writing and revision,本课授课1课时,时长 40分钟。
三、教材分析
本单元围绕“名人名著”这个话题开展的,引导学生学习生词、短语和了解、知道名人名著的内涵,及从中得到的启示和思想,最后能形成对于某名著的书评。教师应该抓佳这一契机,最大限度地结合学生现有的知识开展教学活动,从而帮助学生提高语言能力和文化素养。教师可通过图画情景和听说读写任务型活动,使学生学会有关词汇和句型,并通过话题短文的阅读策略指导和写作,让学生学习通过标题与段落首句猜测文章主旨的阅读技巧,提高话题语言应用能力。 就本单元教学活动而言,大多数学生对名人名著了解不多,仅仅停留在了解、知道层次上,每个学生阅读情况不尽相同,知识积累也有差异。学生很难就名人名著作过多谈论,但还是很感兴趣。 第一单元的对话是由贝蒂想参加一个网上有关名著的讨论而展开的。贝蒂和杰克逊先生的对话提及了孔子和莎士比亚这样的伟人,教师可以借助这个话题引导学生展开讨论,也可以让学生总结一下自己阅读过的名著并与大家分享感受。对话呈现了被动语态的用法,如:We're still influenced by Confucius's ideas。对于这类句子,不要急于总结语法现象,而应重视语言输入,引导学生在真实的语境中感受这一抽象的语法现象。可以采取观察、听辨、学说学习活动。如Activity2通过目标语言的听、写、说及话题句型归纳的练习活动,让学生理解目标语言。Activity 3通过短文阅读理解、短文内容交流,图片描述让学生实践目标语言。Activity 4 可让学生初步运用目标语言。 第二单元的课文是关于《汤姆 索亚历险记》的书评。文章结构清哳,介绍了创作背景、故事的主人公、故事最精彩的部分以及这本书对人们的影响。通过读前的教学活动,学生可以学会快速把握段落大意,这是一种非常行之有效的学习策略。在学习本模块期间,教师可以布置学生阅读马克.吐温的名著《汤姆 素耶历险记》(可以采取分组阅读的方式,一组阅读一章,然后全班分享)或者在网上看《汤姆 索亚历险记》的电影等,并引导学生讨论:你喜欢这个故事吗?喜欢故事中的什么?若不喜欢,不喜欢故事中的哪些内容?里面最精彩是什么环节?这个故事给你什么启示?Activity 1 通过问题找关键词。Activity 2通过阅读练习活动,让学生进一步理解目标语言。Activity3的表格是开展读后活动的良好素材,可以训练学生在最佳时间内找出相关信息,提高阅读效率。Activity 4 通过看图并选词完成文章练习活动,提高学生运用目标语言的能力。 第三单元Language in use通过词语填空、话题句型造句和词类辨别练习活动,让学生复习巩固本单元所学的词汇和句型。进一步激发学生的学习兴趣,培养学生的想象力,又能培养学生实际语言应用能力。提供的听、说、读、写内容和活动,以及独立学习、结对学习、小组合作学习和交流等学习方式。 新课程标准要求我们要用教材来教学生。一定要根据学生实际情况整合补充教学环节,并设法使教学活动与单元教学成为一个整体。对于本模块,教师可以让学生提前查找相关资料,了解名人的国籍、所处年代、主要思想以及代表作等细节信息。语法项目是一般现在时的被动语态,学生要堂握它的基本概念和用法。开展真实的情境教学,都助学生更好地理解这一抽象的语法现象。
