【实践背景】
绘本阅读是小学英语阅读教学中一种非常重要的教学形式。绝大多数教师在处理绘本的教学时,仍然以文本为中心,让学生机械地操练绘本中的对话,而忽视了插图所提供的重要信息。学生对于重难点的掌握逐渐模糊,进而学生对绘本的阅读兴趣也会降低。结合以下具体教学实例,阐述如何利用绘本中的插图进行绘本的有效教学。
【学习内容】
“跟上兔子”小学英语分级绘本,四年级第1季, Little Zoe Looking for Mum.
【绘本教学】
Step2. Watch the whole story.
1.Listen and watch the story.
Question:Why is she crying?
S:She is lonely.She cant find her mum.
2.What animals does Zoe meet?
Students look through the pictures of the book quickly , then answer.
S: She meets a penguin, a zebra, a tortoise, a dog and a bear.
点评:利用插图,了解人物信息。此处人物数量较多,在边听边看完整篇故事后,学生并不能记清楚。学生再次快速翻阅绘本插图后,很快地给出了答案。由此可见,学生通过插图能快速获知故事中的人物信息。这种以观看插图找人物的方式,既直观又直接,学生对问题的理解与回答也更为清晰、简明,同时也树立了学生对整篇绘本学习的信心。
Step3. Learn Part 1
1.Look at the four animals, why arent they Zoes mum?
Because ... doesnt have...
Teacher make an example with the first animal penguin: Because the penguin doesnt have four legs. Then lead them to discuss quickly.
2.Repeat Part 1.Encourage students to read and imitate as the four animals in the pictures.
点评:利用插图,了解单词信息。现在常见文本新单词处理方式是教师在导入环节另设情境将生词扫清,教师浪费了大量的精力而舍弃绘本已有的真实情境。在本环节,教师引导学生回答问题的过程中会涉及一些生词,教师可鼓励学生先拼读生单词先回答问题,进而引导学生通过图片和情境猜测生单词(lonely,tail,tortoise)的词义。由此可见,在给学生呈现新的目标时,可以引导学生认真观察图片,鼓励学生将目标词汇与插图中的事物进行联系,进而提高建立生词与事物表象联系的能力。
Step4.Learn Part 2
1.T:Then, a bear comes.Can the bear be her mum according to the story we read?
Make a dialogue with the teacher:
Are you...?You have... but I dont.
2.T:Why can the bear be Zoes mum?
a.Analyze the reason of page 16:
From the picture, I see the bear hugs Zoe. Zoe doesnt cry sadly. So the bear can be Zoes mum.
From the sentence, I know Zoe wants a hug. The bear can give her a hug. So the bear can be Zoes mum.
b.Analyze the reasons from page17 to 21.(Work in 3.Choose one way to analyze.)
點评:利用插图,理解语言情境。……
