一、关于图式理论
阅读教学在英语教学中有非常重要的地位,阅读课当以培养学生的阅读能力为主要教学目标,使学生在阅读速度、阅读方法与技巧、阅读理解的准确度和深度上得到提高。
传统的自下而上的阅读模式强调词汇教学,要求学生逐词逐句逐行进行解码,从而达到对整个段落和篇章的理解。但在阅读教学的过程中我们发现,这种阅读模式容易造成学生逐词逐句阅读的习惯,忽略对文章的整体把握,降低学生的阅读速度和效率。图式理论提出了一个相反的阅读模型,即自上而下模型。根据这一模型,读者不是被动的接受,领会文字的信息,而是对语言层次的词语、句子进行解码的同时进行积极的思维活动。根据文章所提供的线索,充分利用已有的知识结构即图式进行预测;利用上下文内容来证实或修订最初的预测,为下一步的预测做好准备。
可以看出,自上而下的阅读模型旨在激活学生记忆中已有图式,激发阅读动机,促使他们积极思维,以达到培养他们阅读理解能力的目的。
二、图示理论指导下的课堂设计
在图示理论的指导下,我对人教新目标八年级上册Unit8 SectionB 2b A Country Music Song Changed Her Life Forever进行了设计。具体如下:
StepI Pre-reading and lead-in
1.Watch a video and feel music can change our lives and our feelings.
