新课标要求,初中英语教学不仅要培养学生基本英语素养和发展学生思维能力,还要提高学生综合人文素养。学生通过英语学习,能够掌握基本的英语语言知识,发展基本的听、说、读、写技能,逐步形成用英语与他人交流的能力,进一步促进思维能力的发展。教师在教学的过程中要尽可能地为学生创造真实的语境,鼓励学生通过实践参与探究和合作的方式,逐步掌握语言知识和技能,不断调整情感态度,发展自主学习能力,并提供贴近学生、贴近生活、贴近时代的英语学习资源,创造性地开发和利用现实生活中鲜活的英语学习资源,拓展学生学习和运用英语的渠道。因此,提高文本解读能力是教师基于语篇内容培养学生学科素养、提高课堂教学时效和学生学习质量的关键。下面以外研版英语八年级上册Module 10 Weather Unit 1 It might snow教学设计为例进行说明,该课例荣获柳州市第十七届中学青年教师汇报课评比一等奖。

一、教材分析

“天气”话题与人们的生活息息相关,是西方人在日常生活中经常谈论的话题。本模块的第一单元由贝蒂和玲玲要去滑冰引出了谈论天气的对话,课本借助这样一个常见的场景,轻松地导入了谈论天气的习惯表达和表示可能性的词汇和句型。在理解文本的基础上,由“天气”扩展到去一个地方旅游的最佳时间等内容,与学生的生活联系紧密,能有效地提高学生的学习兴趣。

二、学情分析

在知识储备上,八年级的学生已经学会如何对天气进行描述,但是对于描述天气的部分词汇的词性关注不够。在本课中,温度的表达以及运用might/may/probably对天气进行猜测,属于新知和重点内容,需要教师通过创设情境,并以活动为载体,将词汇与句型融会贯通。八年级的学生在英语学习上开始出现两极分化,因而教师需要特别注意课堂的趣味性,同时兼顾扎实训练,缓解两极分化的情况。

T:Now lets check the answer together.

7.Pair work

T:Look! This is a map of China. Please choose a city you like to talk about its weather and temperature with your desk mates. I will give you two minutes to practice. Ready? Go!

設计意图:以一曲活泼英文歌曲导入,激活课堂,同时复习提问天气的词句;通过看图、听音的方式复习旧知,引出新知;再以游戏的方式,检测学生对天气单词的掌握情况;温度的操练由易到难,通过游戏检测温度的读法,巩固新知,为后面的第一个文本小听力铺垫;设计小听力的目的在于训练学生听懂天气预报、把握细节,为接下来的第二个文本学习做准备。两人练习进行天气预报,为最后的大输出环节铺垫。

片段二:Presentation

1.Learn the new words and key structure by creating a situation.

1) They may go to Hainan Island.

T:Look! Who are they?

S:He is Jasper. She is Xiao Paofu.

T:Do you like them? Next week, they will go travelling .Can you guess where they will go? Here are three places for them to choose. Lets go and see. I think they may go to Hainan Island. Look at the pictures. How is the weather?

Ss:Its probably sunny and hot.

T:Whats the temperature?

Ss:It is probably between nineteen and twenty-five degrees centigrade.

(Play the sound of thunder)

2. Make a summary about how to use may, might and probably.

T:Now lets read all these sentences together. And pay attention to read words.

Ss:① It is probably sunny and hot.

②It may be between nineteen and twenty-five degrees centigrade.

③ It might snow.

④ It might be snowy.

T:When we talk about the weather in the future, we will use them. And this is the difference of them. 表示可能性的词语中,probably大于 may大于 might。

设计意图:通过创设《爸爸去哪儿》栏目组即将出发去录节目的情境,为Jasper等萌娃提供三个可供选择的地方,将本单元与天气有关的重点词汇与核心结构might/may do something, it is probably...融入到情境中,同时通过多种方式的操练,让学生在情境中扎实掌握新知,帮助学生深入理解后面的听力文本,理解文本内容的逻辑关系。

片段三:Listening

1. Watch and answer the questions.

T:Jasper and his friends will go to Snow Town. Our old friends Betty and Lingling,they also go out to play. Now lets enjoy a video of them and answer the questions. This time please pay attention to the main idea. Before watching, lets read these two questions together.

Ss:①What are they talking about?

(Students listen to the dialogue)

T:Dont forget Miss Weis tip, listen carefully and pay attention to the differences between sentences here and those in the text.

設计意图:第一遍听力设置了两个问题,旨在引导学生通过回答问题,掌握文本的主旨大意,为把握细节铺垫。第二遍听力设置了三个问题,旨在引导学生通过回答问题掌握文本的细节。第三遍让学生齐读对话,判断句子的正误并修改错误之处,旨在让学生通过比较现有信息与自己捕捉到的信息的不同之处,提高学生辨认信息的能力。最后,教师点拨听力技巧,帮助学生提升能力。

片段四:Role play

T:From the conversation, we learn the weather of different countries. Mary and her family will come to China for holiday. Here are three places for them to choose. Can you help them? Please choose one city for them. Four students in a group, please make a dialogue like this.

A:Hi, Mary! We advise you travel to .

(Group 1 gives performance)

T:What do you think about their performance? Good, very good or wonderful?

Ss:Wonderful!

T:I agree with you! They can speak loudly and clearly. Big hands for them!

设计意图:本活动是一个生成性的口语活动。学生要能在情境中谈论天气、气温等话题,这一活动旨在帮助学生巩固本节课的重点词汇、短语以及核心结构,引导学生将输入的内容内化并输出,扩展到谈论生活中类似的事件,学以致用。

【评析】

(一)话题简明,主线清晰

本课的话题是天气,它与人们的生活息息相关,是西方人,尤其是英国人在日常生活中经常谈论的话题。本课由贝蒂和玲玲要去滑冰引出了谈论天气的对话,借助这样一个常见的场景,轻松地导入了谈论天气的习惯表达和表示可能性的词汇和句型。在这一话题之下,教师将相关的内容串成一条线,通过歌曲、游戏、创设情境和影音感知、训练、输出拓展等形式,将核心词汇与结构融会贯通,极大地优化了语言环境,让学生在丰富的活动中感知、学习、运用语言,激发学生的学习兴趣,调动学生参与课堂的积极性。

(二)创设旅游情境,助力词句教学

本节课结合学生认知水平,借用综艺节目《爸爸去哪儿》第五季创设情境,将学生引入到了课堂氛围中,让学生在情境中感知核心结构。开课伊始,教师播放《爸爸去哪儿》第五季的片头,瞬间将学生带入情境,随后通过动态图片展示海南、成都和雪乡三个旅游胜地,带领学生一起了解这三个地方的天气情况以及相关活动,自然再现新词snowy/stormy/windy/temperature/degree/thick/ice/probably/terrible/skate,并操练句型it is probably.../it may be.../it might be...,在学生熟知并感兴趣的情境中,本课的词句教学得以扎实推进,重难点得以自然攻破。

(三)听说教学,渗透技巧指导

本课是一节听说课,在听说教学的过程中,执教者注重对学生进行听力技巧的指导:通过看视频回答两个问题,抓住对话的主旨大意;通过阅读听力题目,勾画关键词,把握文本的细节;通过判断句子的正误,提高辨识信息的能力。这些技巧的指導,由浅入深,逐层推进,既能够满足不同层次学生的需求,尊重学生之间的差异,又能够实实在在地帮助学生学会如何在听力活动中获取甚至辨识关键信息,提高其理解信息的能力,为后面的说打下扎实基础。

(四)基于文本,挖掘文本

教材为执教者和学生呈现的是一个简单的日常对话,但背后却蕴藏着文化的差异以及与现实生活之间的联系。本课对话的主要内容为天气以及气温,这一现象与我们的日常生活息息相关,它对于外出旅游的人来说尤为重要,因而在突破重难点以及拓展输出环节,执教者选择了创设一虚、一实的情境;在输出环节,学生为Mary一家从纽约、伦敦以及悉尼三个城市中选择一个出行的目标城市,运用文本中所学的天气、气温等相关活动的知识,帮助Mary一家解决实际问题,从而超越文本。
