Honesty or Lies
一、教材分析
依据《英语学科基本要求》,完成高中学业任务的学生应具备英语语言运用能力,“正确理解语言交流活动和生活会话内容,并作出恰当的反应;能从有声媒体中获取、分析、处理信息;能根据交际对象和目的,连贯、灵活地表达思想、观点和情感”。 这样的要求体现在日常教学中,都是围绕着话题展开学习活动并引发讨论的。在高三的复习冲刺重要阶段,以话题为学习形式展开语言听说能力的训练,既可以帮助学生巩固和操练已学知识,又可以激活旧知的新用法,将知识与能力以话题的形式串联起来,能在学生的头脑中留存更加有功能意义的知识模块。
话题是日常生活中各种事件的集合和分类。本节课的话题属于《教学基本要求》中“人与社会”的范畴,围绕Honesty or lies这一话题展开听与说的语言实践活动,丰富话题所包含的语音、词汇、词法、句法和语篇等知识。本节课话题来源于生活实际,也是学生日常生活中所面临的、需要深入思考的问题之一。本课的学习主题Honesty or Lies,以选择性的标题来激发学生的思考和探索兴趣。听力材料Honesty is the best policy和Lies, lies, lies,取材于《World Link》,其内容是关于谈论在日常交际中应该选择诚实还是善意谎言的话题。通过听力输入学会如何辨别speaker的观点和论据,即对于Honesty和white lies之间的选择,以及listener的互动反馈。以话题Honesty or lies为载体,巩固相关的语言知识,丰富和深化对该话题的认识,探究话题的内涵和外延,拓宽和加深对Honesty or lies话题内容的认识。学生在学习的过程中主动获取、交流、分享话题信息,形成有效的学习策略,提高语言理解和表达能力。
二、学情分析
授课对象为即将面临秋季高考的高三学生,经过将近三年的训练,他们已经具备了相当的听力和口语能力,养成了一定的英语思维习惯,也具备了一些针对相关话题的学习储备,但是将这些知识储备以话题形式激活起来的机会不多。在高三阶段特别适合围绕某一话题展开讨论和学习,帮助学生激活思维,培养表达能力,以听说为切入口融入写作的训练。
授课对象高三2班学生,笔试成绩在同年级学生中处于领先水平,但口头表达能力优势不明显,需要在听说方面多加引导训练,促进学生语言能力均衡发展。
三、教法分析
本节课学生要听懂Honesty or lies话题中的有关对话和独白,获取关于Honesty or lies的观点态度的相关信息和语汇,运用与此话题有联系的词汇和功能性的句式表达对Honesty or lies这一话题的看法。围绕这一核心任务,本节课采用“前-中-后”三阶段听力教学模式,不同阶段各有侧重点:
听前:学生通过与教师互动接触话题,并激活相关词汇,扫清语料中难点的理解障碍,做好听前准备。
听中:首先,学生视听第一遍视频材料Honesty or lies,对其中三位人物的观点进行辨别,理清他们各自的立场。接着,学生听第二遍,了解人物发表观点背后的支持信息。然后,学生基于之前所听内容预测该对话的结尾部分内容并给出分析原因,教师播放视频中的结尾对照,引导学生关注说话人的内容、语气、肢体语言与表情等传递的言外之意。接着学生视听视频材料Lies,lies,lies,了解四位被采访者对于Honesty or lies这一话题的看法,这个语料听3遍,分为整体理解、论点和论据捕捉,学生需要记录每个人观点背后的支持论据。
听后:学生综合所听与思悟,讨论并发表自己对Honesty or lies的观点并陈述支持论据。
作业:学生整理课内所学,完善自己的发言内容,写出一篇150字左右的观点演讲稿,作为下节课课前的交流准备。

课题:牛津上海课标版Unit 2 Wonderful sea animals
教材分析:本课例为牛津上海课标版高三下册第二单元第二篇阅读教学。第一单元谈论濒危动物,第二单元谈论海洋中的动物。第二单元的第一篇阅读介绍海豚,第二篇阅读介绍鲨鱼。课例教学的教学重点是课文的总体理解。了解新的鲨鱼物种如何发现,与其他鲨鱼有什么异同点。
教学词汇的难点集中在与海洋生物与渔船相关的词汇,例如anchor锚,jaw嘴,marine海洋的,predator捕食性动物,live off以…为生,plankton浮游生物,cartilage软骨,hatch孵化等。
教学内容的理解重点除了要了解新的物种是如何发现的,还需要了解不是所有鲨鱼都是危险的。并理解大多数鲨鱼的两个共同特点:鲨鱼没有骨头只有软骨;以及鲨鱼是鱼类,大多产鱼卵,但鱼卵是在体内孵化的。
教学设计:本篇章教学采取整体教学法,用多媒体手段扫清难点词汇和难点内容的理解。另外,在教学过程中除了词汇与篇章理解的教学,教师通过归纳段落大意培养学生的理解归纳能力。同时,希望从教学中提炼从特殊到一般的思维方式,引导学生认识并培养这种思维技能与方法介绍新的事物(如新产品或新品种等)。教学多媒体的设计主要为教学实际的功能服务,力求真正解决教学中的问题,提高效率与互动。学生学习的互动甚至可以从课内延伸到作业与课后。
