《大学英语教学大纲》明确规定:“培养学生具有较强的阅读能力和一定的听、说、写、译能力,使他们能用英语交流信息。”

阅读不仅是语言输入的主要来源,也是听、说、写、译其他技能发展的基础和源头,阅读能力是大部分非英语专业学生今后使用英语的主要技能,阅读能力的培养应该放在首位。多媒体教学具有表现力丰富,信息容量大,交互性能好等特点,能将抽象的概念形象化、直观化;运用现代教育思想,根据不同的教学目标以及各种媒体的特性功能,从培养人才的目标出发,根据教学实际需要,设计英语阅读课的教学,能提高阅读教学效率,有效提高学生的学习质量,使学生真正参与到学习和探究活动中来,促进课堂教学的交流、探索、发现和创新。

布鲁纳认为:“知识的获得是一个主动的过程,学习者不应是信息的被动接受者,而应是知识获取的主动参与者。”

现代教学媒体设计阅读教学,能简化教学过程,提高课堂传递教学信息的质量,有利于教师的指导作用和学习主体作用的发挥。以新视野大学英语(第二版)读写教程1 Unit5 SectionA为例。课文的题目是:The Battle Against AIDS(与艾滋病抗争)。艾滋病是我国重点控制的重大疾病,也是全球关注的重要公共卫生和社会热点问题。在引导学生进行阅读时,首先,运用幻灯把相关的专业名词打出。

AIDS: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

HIV: Human Immunodeficiency virus

投影课文的教学目的:

To get to know some useful information concerning the topic of the reading passages in this unit and to know more about English culture.

Everyone must become an educator and learn to live.

通过语言学习系统提问学生:

How much do you know about AIDS?HIV?

老师通过语言学习系统进一步解释并投影。

AIDS, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, is a disease which destroys the natural method the body uses to protect against other diseases. It is a disease caused by the HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), but AIDS is different from HIV in that the former usually causes death while HIV may lead to AIDS. HIV is spread in three ways: (1) contact with infected blood; (2) sex; (3) mother-to-child. AIDS usually develops in four stages: (1) In the first stage, there is only infection by HIV and antibody (抗体) production. (2) In the second stage, the lymph nodes (淋巴结) enlarge (肿大). (3) In the third stage, an infected person may begin to have such signs (症状) as tiredness, fever, and night sweats. (4) In the last stage, AIDS is diagnosed when a person develops certain uncommon, life-threatening illnesses, for example Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia(卡氏肺囊虫肺炎 ).

HIV is the human immunodeficiency virus. This is the virus that spreads through contact with infected blood, infected sexual partners or within the womb of an infected pregnant mother. After infecting a person, HIV can remain hidden in the body for long and different periods of time until it becomes active and develops into AIDS for which no known cure exists. The virus spreads very fast once contact has been made with an infected source.

利用语言学习系统介绍相关背景,Background Information:

HIVand AIDS is one of the biggest social, economic and health challeges in the world. It is a global emergency claiming over 8,000 lives every day. In fact 5 people die of AIDS every minute. Since AIDS was diagnosed in the United States in the 1970s, AIDS has killed more than 204,000Americanshalfof that number in the past few years alone. Another 185,000of the one millioninfected with the HIV virus are expected to die within the next year.

HIV is spread in four ways:

1.the most common way is the unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected partner;

2.sharing needles or other contaminated injection or skin-piercing equipment;

3.blood and blood products through, for example, infected transfusion an organ or tissue transplantas;

4.transmission from infected mother to child in the womb or at birth and breastfeeding.

在播放课文录音之前投影comprehension questions 让学生带者问题进行去进行课文的阅读。

Comprehension questions:

1.How many American people have been killed by AIDS in the past few years?

2.What are the reasons why some local organizations emerged?

3.Why is it impossible to hand out AIDS literature and expect people to read it in some communities?

4.What are the ways to combat AIDS discussed in the passage?

5.What should people do to win the war against AIDS?

反复两遍播放课文录音,学生对课文的大意基本掌握;然后播放事先制作的幻灯片,如:World AIDS Day; The theme for World AIDS Day; Red Ribbon等, 让学生加深对课文的理解,开拓视野。在此基础上让学生总结课文中心,进行热点问题的讨论,充分调动学生学习主体的积极性,并投影课文的写作技巧、结构分析、段落大意等,最后,利用语言学习系统对整篇课文作小结并利用投影检查学生对课文的掌握程度。由此进行课文阅读教学, 学生印象更深刻,反映更强烈,充分调动了学生的学习积极性。

多媒体辅助阅读教学的设计与应用为英语阅读教学提供了优越的客观环境和条件,现代化的多媒体环境下新的教学模式,突破了传统教学模式的不足,大大提高了教学效率,最大限度地提高了阅读教学的质量。
