笔者最近观摩了市教学大比武对译林新版《英语》五年级下册Unit 5 Helping our parents中Grammar time板块的教学,有一节课的设计理念让人耳目一新,笔者从中获得一些启发。本文将通过对此课例的具体分析,谈谈对Grammar Time板块教学的几点思考。
一、回顾故事,在交流中切入语法主题
本单元的主要语法是一般现在时和现在分词的学习及使用,话题是“帮助父母做一些力所能及的事”,在第一课时Story Time的故事文本中已经出现,学生对现在进行时已有初步了解,所以,通过对故事的回顾,可唤起学生对语法项目在故事中所表达的语言意义的理解。
教学片断如下:
T:Now,I know you help your parents do housework at home.So do Mike and Helen.
Look,this is Mike’s family.It is Saturday morning.They are doing different things at home.What are his parents doing?
S:Mike’s father is cleaning the car.
S: Mike’s mother is cooking breakfast in the kitchen.
T:How about the children?What are they doing?
T:Why doesn’t Tim help his parents do housework?
呈现第一段文章的导图
T:Can you try to retell it?Look at the map,it can help you.
呈现第二段文章的导图
T:It is Saturday afternoon,whocomestoMike’shome?What are they doing?
T:Look at the map,you can use this map to retell the second part of the story.
Who would like to have a try?(1~2个学生复述)

教师通过思维导图的方式,帮助学生清晰地把握文章脉络,回顾故事内容,在表达中初步感悟语法项目。教师接着故事内容延续情境,通过课件呈现夜晚他们正在做什么。
T:Now,it is Saturday evening.What are they doing?Do you know?继续与学生交流,从而切入本课的语法主题。
T:Maybe you can ask me like this:
What is Mike doing?(学生跟读)
T:Look atthese pictures,can you try to ask?
Ss自由提问:What is...doing?/What are...doing?

二、合理补白,在思考中感知语法知识
教师应该为学生创造各种有利于他们学习和使用英语的环境和条件,为他们有效“理解”和“产生”语言提供机会(韩刚,2011)。这里,教师很巧妙地延续课文情境,合理补白,设计了一个Mike与他的网友Eric的微信聊天情境:Mike向Eric讲述他们一家人正分别在干什么,但是在聊天过程中,他们彼此都出了一些错误,学生在纠错过程中初步感知学习语法规则。教学片断如下:
1.创设情境,引发思考
T:Mike is chatting on the Internet.He’s chatting with his e-friend.Who’s his e-friend?
T:Let’s go and see what they are talking now?播放第一张图片中聊天记录的录音。……
