作为一名高中外语教师,我非常注重在外语教学中渗透德育教育,结合教材中每个模块的话题设计一些活动来帮助学生形成正确的情感态度和价值观,下面是我上过的一节比较成功的课。
一、教学案例描述
本节课选自高中英语外研版(新课程)选修7 Module 3 Reading and Vocabulary(1),以查尔斯·狄更斯的作品《雾都孤儿》的精彩片段为素材,帮助学生了解文章的主旨大意并掌握相关词汇。从读和说等方面谈论小说的人物及情节,使学生更加了解查尔斯·狄更斯文学作品的时代背景和深刻的社会意义,有利于提高学生的文学修养。通过对主人公Oliver Twist苦难童年的描述,学生能深刻体会到旧时代孤儿们的穷苦和无助,更加珍惜现在的美好生活,这就是本节课的德育目标。
二、教学过程
Step One. Introduction
Give students some information about Charles Dickens and his novel “Oliver Twist”.
Activities: (1) Show some pictures about Charles Dickens and his works.
(2) Show them a passage which is a brief introduction about the novelist and “Oliver Twist”.
(3) Show them a picture about “Oliver Asks for More”. Get Ss to describe it according to the six questions in the textbook.
说明:本部分为背景介绍。通过向学生展示狄更斯及其作品的相关图片,使学生了解作者和作品的相关信息,从而激发学生阅读名家名著的兴趣。
Step Two. Prereading
Activities: (1) Dealing with two vocabulary exercises to help students get over the language barrier before reading.
(2) Show them a short video, which is a forecast of the film “Oliver Asks for More”.
说明:此环节为读前部分,包括两个任务。其一,通过词汇练习使学生在读前扫除词汇障碍。其二,通过展示预告片使学生通过视觉了解本文的主要情节,更直观地了解主人公的悲惨童年,从而导入课。
Step Three. Whilereading
(1)Fastreading.
Task: choose the best summary of the passage.
(2)Carefulreading.
Task one: Read the text carefully and fill in the blanks with the information in the text.
Task two: Read the text again and choose the best answers.(以下选择题略去选项)
1. The bowls the boys used never needed cleaning because .
2. Which of the following sentences CANNOT describe the boys hunger?
3. When Oliver went to ask for more food, his feeling was .
4. When Oliver asked for more food, the wardens face became very pale because he was .
说明:此环节主要是锻炼学生泛读和查读的阅读技能,培养学生的总结能力和对文章中心思想的把握能力。细节问题的设置帮助学生不仅对文本信息获取得更全面,更真切地体会到Oliver的苦难生活,促使学生同情弱者,认清资本主义社会的丑恶。
Step Four. Postreading
Task One: Discuss and express your idea.
1.How did you feel after reading this passage ? Explain why.(angry, sad, amused, terrified, frightened)
2.How would you have felt in a similar situation? Would you have asked for more? Why/Why not?
Task Two: work in groups and act out the scene you have just read.
说明:学生通过小组讨论,更深入地理解作者的写作意图。最后让学生分角色表演课文中“Oliver Asks for More” 这一片段,不仅将本节的语言知识以表演的形式进行语言输出,更给学生机会将他们的感受展示出来,同时也增强了本节课的趣味性。
三、教学反思
《英语课程标准》中倡导学生以体验、实践、参与、合作与交流的学习方式去完成教学任务 ,在语言学习过程中形成积极的情感态度,主动思维和大胆实践,提高跨文化意识和形成自主学习能力。正是从这理念出发,我在课堂教学中设置了小组讨论、角色扮演等活动形式,让学生很自觉地参与到语言学习中来,十分自然地理解小说中的情节,感受主人公Oliver的痛苦无助、其他孤儿们的胆怯和旁观的富人们的冷漠。本节课很好地完成了知识、技能和德育目标。
