任务型教学的理论基础是给基于语言习得的研究成果,反映了人类学习语言的基本特征。根据任务型教学的基本原理和教学步骤,笔者在职业中学的英语课堂教学过程中设计了几种任务型教学。
一、信息差任务设计
信息差(information gap,或译为“信息沟”)是指在日常语言交际中,交谈的双方都给对方提供一些未知信息。
【教学实例1】
1.任务:Asking for directions
2.教材:Unit 6 Getting Around(Reading)(《英语》基本版1)
3.学生情况:适合中职旅游服务专业高一年级学生
4.活动形式:Group Work(Performance)
5.情景设置:假设一个外国旅游团来某地旅游。他们要去参观当地的一些名胜古迹,但又不熟悉路线,就去询问当地的导游。
6.操作步骤:
①Ask the students to list some places of interest of some city.
②Divide the whole class into several groups. In every group, one student acts as a tourist guider, the others act as tourists.
③Every group chooses some places of interest and act out a short play about getting around a city. In the play the tourists will ask the guider how to get to different places of interest in the city.
7.設计目的:设计问路这个情景剧的话题既符合旅游专业学生的专业内容,又锻炼了他们的英语口语,通过拓展性训练,开阔学生思维,让学生学会学以致用。
二、游戏竞赛类任务设计
【教学实例2】
1.任务:Guess the names of holidays
2.教材:Unit 7 Holidays(Listening and Speaking)(《英语》基本版2)
3.学生情况:适合中职各专业高一年级学生
4.活动形式:Guessing Work(Luck 52)
5.操作步骤:Divide the whole class into groups. Introduce the rules briefly, and ask the students to guess the names of the holidays according to the teachers descriptions.
Question Cards:
Example:①
Clue A:It is a three-day holiday.
Clue B:Children may get gift money from their elder members of the family.
Clue C:It is celebrated by Chinese all over the world.
Clue D:It is in the 1st lunar month...
Key:Spring Festival
②Christmas ③April Fools Day ④Mothers Day
⑤Valentines Day ⑥Dragon Boat Festival ⑦Thanksgiving Day(turkey,the last Thursday in Nov.)
6.设计目的:Luck 52是广大学生熟悉的节目,学生既有兴趣,又熟悉游戏规则。这个游戏的开展有效地把节日名称和活动安排联系起来,激活相关背景知识,为听力作充分的热身准备。……
