摘 要:在新课程理念下,英语课堂教学是对语言实践与交际应用的讲授,而不是纯知识讲授。根据中职英语教学实际,尝试用情景教学法来改善课堂教学效果。

一、中职英语课堂教学现状
职高生或多或少厌学英语,他们以日后工作不用英语或英语不是专业课为由,不学英语,顶多上课翻翻书,摆摆样子,课余早就把英语书丢到九霄云外了,作业抄袭、考试寄希望于作弊,进校时个别英语尚可的学生也随波逐流。教师尽心创设课堂活动,但每节课都以失败告终,对学生再三减低要求,但实际教学效果很差。
二、新课程标准下的情境教学法
學习语言最好的方式是在真实情境中,让学生感知语言。情境教学法是有意识的心理活动和无意识的心理活动的统一,在认知方面有启迪学生的暗示性,从而使学生有意识或无意识地接受教育输入。新课标要求教师发挥主导作用,调动学生内在学习动力,体现以学生为主体。教师可将学生分组,模拟创设情境,此外多媒体幻灯片等现代教学手段也能有效激发学生的兴趣。多媒体创设的情境和实物图片能牢牢地吸引学生的眼球,用之创设符合课文内容和贴近学生生活或反映社会热点的情境,比较容易让学生走入情境、理解情境、表演情境对话,从而让学生在听说方面多练习,体现英语课堂教学是语言实践与交际活动。情境教学法能让课堂上的学生有兴趣、有成就感、有自信心,学生在快乐中学习肯定能达教学目标,大大提高教学效果。
三、情境教学法的课堂教学尝试
下面以高教版第二册第7单元“So much to do before we travel”第一课时的课堂教学步骤来说明情境教学法。
(T=teacher,S=student,S1=student1)
Step 1:Lead-in
(Show a movie:visiting Palace Museum)
T:What are the people doing in the movie?
S:
(用电影吸引学生,提高其兴趣,并引出本节课话题“travel”)
T:Yes,they are traveling.Do you like traveling?Why/why not?
S:
T:Yes,maybe travel can open our eyes,relax ourselves.Have you ever been to travel with your parents?
T:What place have you been to?have you ever seen a travel brochure?
What is a travel brochure?
S:yes,I have beeen to Beijing,Hangzhou...
I have been given some travel brochure about our ninghai such as qiantong old town,lianghuang mountain...
(通过讨论,启发学生自己开口述说旅游经历,提高表现欲望,操练英语听说。)
Step 2:Listening
①T:Nowadays some people dont like to travel to places of interests,Why?but travel to forest.If you go to the forest,what should you take with?(flashcard can help class)
(在step 2中教师又用多媒体展示了一张进森林徒步旅游的照片并用英语做了说明,这样创设语言情境,发挥学生主体作用,让学生实际运用知识,积极主动地用英语进行交流,学以致用,提高能力)
②Discuss:practice activity1,2on page 115 in the StudentsB book
Teach new words:cash, bathing suit,camera umbrella,agency
③Listen to the tape and finish activity 3,4,5on page116
(在已充分预热后进行听力训练多角度让学生实践英语)
Step 3:Speaking
①Listen part 6 on page 116,answer questions:
A:What are cathy and myra are talking about?
B:When and where are they going to travel?why?
C:What do they need to take with them?
②Get the students to read the dialogue first,then act out it in pairs
③Practise:now get into pairs,and practice activity 7,group one will go to forest,group two will go to lake, group 3,4 will go to downtown city,each group will ask one pair to act out for the class
创设情境,给学生创造一个可想象的空间,让学生感知语言,在真实情境中运用语言。走入情境、理解情境、表演情境,以此活用目标语言。学生在真实的情境中更容易进入角色,课堂教学的有效性也大大提高了。
