提高学生英语的阅读能力和写作能力是英语教学的重要任务。在阅读教学中,在对学生阅读能力培养的同时,教师应合理设计教学活动,采用各种手段引导学生“以读促写”,把阅读教学和写作教学有机地结合在一起以指导学生的写作能力。笔者从以下几个方面尝试了读写结合的教学:
1.读后摘要——写作训练从简单入手
目前,学生写作中存在的问题首先表现在心理上,大部分学生对英语写作有畏惧心理,提起写作就心烦,不知如何下手,或者视写作为任务,一旦完成,就置之不理,既不修改习作,也不反思和调整写作方法。为了避免这种心理,教师的指导就得避免从语法角度着手,而应着力培养学生遣词造句的能力。摘要写作或缩写可谓是一种既简单又有实效的方法,操作起来也方便。如:江苏省职业学校文化课教材配套教材《英语》第一册Unit5 Sports Day in My School,在学完课文后,根据课文内容回答以下问题:
(1)When is the sports day in our school?
(2)Where is the sports day held?
(3)What time does the sports events start?
(4)What time do the students, teachers, parents and special guests get to the field?
(5)What are the most exciting events and other funny events?
(6)What events did I take part in last year?
(7)What can the players and the other students have in the games?
将答案组成一个段落,100个字左右,并背诵。
October 15 is our sports day. It is always held in the large sports field at the back of the classroom building. Sports events start at 8 a.m., but the students and teachers get to the field around 7. Parents and special guests arrive at about 7:30. The most exciting events are the 100-metre race, cycling race, high jump and long jump. There are some funny events, like the three-legged race, egg-and-spoon race, sack race and potato race. Last year I took part in the 100-metre race and won second place. Both the players and the other students have great fun in the games.
2.读后仿写——模仿使写作有本可依
任何文章都有值得模仿的地方。学生觉得写作文难,是因为他们不知道怎样才能写得生动具体。……
