附:本课教学设计说明
I. 教材的处理:
教材中与writing 相关的部分有:reading and writing , writing for fun, and writing task. 其中,writing for fun打星号,为选择部分。学生没有必要一次性做那么多的写作练习,而且,相比之下reading and writing 写信和writing task写议论文,更具有代表性,任务更适合完成,故舍弃writing for fun.。
II. 教学目标:
1. 语言技能方面:训练写的技能,以friendship为话题,阅读相关材料,在此基础上,运用所学语言表达自己的思想。
2. 情感态度方面:让学生学会如何交朋友,如何真诚对待朋友。
3. 学习策略方面:学会合作学习,通过讨论交流完成任务
4. 培养交际策略。通过评价,形成自己的调控策略。
III. 教学策略:
教法的设计是以围绕教学目的而展开的。同时,考虑教学内容和学生实际水平。
任务型教学在写作课中的运用:
通过课堂教学,学生能积极投入课堂活动,在老师的指导下,开展小组交流活动,提取有效信息,并运用一定的语言知识作出正确表达,完成写作任务,实现基本的交际目的。
本节写作课根据任务型教学的三个阶段,在任务前主要以激发学生对写的内容的兴趣为主,通过学生讨论的结果,引入写作的内容与结构,明确写作目的。任务中,主要通过"由点到面"的"小步子走"写作方式,逐步引导学生"写"的步骤及"写"的思维方式。过程中,对学生"写"的质量进行评价,让学生在体验的过程中发现存在的问题,并通过老师给予的语法结构讲练,加深对问题的认识,融入情景运用中理解与掌握,体现"发现问题-思考问题-解决问题-运用问题"这一思维过程。在写的过程中,学生要完成各项任务,通过大脑风暴,构建写作内容的思维图,并基本完成写作要求的雏形。任务后,通过小组活动的形式,给予最终的写作任务,让学生在讨论、分享信息过程中发展思维,反馈写作效果,提高综合分析、处理信息的能力,进一步在集体行为中发现问题,自我解决问题。
2.小组合作形式在写作课中的运用:
《普通高中英语课程标准(实验)》明确提出:"要培养引导学生开展合作学习、探究式学习、自主性学习。"本课的设计重点是:帮助学生养成"合作学习"的习惯。"学目标"是采取班级授课与小组活动相结合的一种学习组织形式。把一个班级分成若干小组,每个小组由若干学生组成。个体通过小组成员之间的合作、互动及单干,完成指派给自己的一部分工作(掌握一定的学习内容)。每个成员的工作都是整个小组工作的有机组成部分。最后,以小组的活动(成绩)与其它小组进行竞争。所以,合作学习能保证每个学生都积极参与学习活动。学生由于在初中时已习惯了传统的课堂教学模式,习惯教师的单向灌输,所以现在很难适应这种学习方式,也不知如何操作。鉴于此,有必要向学生灌输"合作学习"的思想,并且向学生传授"合作"的技能,直至学生完全具备了"合作"的思想和技能。
基于以上理论,本课采取任务型的教学途径,结合学生实际设计相关的任务链,使学生在以小组合作的形式完成任务的过程中学习到相应的语言知识和获得语言能力。
IV.教学过程
首先,按照教材的顺序和要求,先阅读给编辑的一封信,找出小东的问题,让学生先有语言和信息的输入,也是写前的热身。然后,小组讨论"给小东什么建议", 通过合作,找出尽可能多的建议。在这个过程中,训练学生的交际能力,开拓思维,也起到训练口语的作用,把说和写结合起来,用说促进写。接着,把讨论的结果以书信的形式表达出来,有书面的成果,有成就感。并通过评价,评出最佳,促进学生的合作与竞争,也享受成功的喜悦,激发其他同学更加努力,争取下次做好。通过评价标准的比较,例如,建议的提出,书信的格式,语言的使用,书写工整,合作情况,让学生对自己的表现有清楚的认识,进而知道如何改进,即培养调控策略。另外,学生作品和教师范文的展出,也是学生学习的好机会。
Writing task 首先,让学生学习有关友谊的谚语,树立交友的审美观,形成正确的价值观。再者,通过讨论,自由表达自己的观点,同意或不同意,并说明理由,发挥学生的创造性思维,调动积极性,也训练表达能力。然后,关键是学会写议论文。教师教给议论文的基本组成部分,每一部分如何构成。让学生套用这一模式,完成简单的议论文写作。这一部分采取每个学生独立完成,教师批改,目的是了解每个学生初次写议论文的情况。讲评时可指出一些普遍性的问题,有助于全面提高。
最后是本节课的回顾,简单复习当堂客的重点和难点。还有,作业的布置,考虑到充分调动学生的兴趣和爱好,搜集故事,诗歌等。同时,巩固提高写作能力。在查找资料的过程中,可以扩大阅读量。
时间的安排比较宽松,开始时,可先对上一节课的内容简单复习,然后才开始writing 的内容。
