思维能力的培养需要教师在教育教学工作中创造性地开展教学工作,就是要有意识地去培养学生的求异思维、发散思维,要创造问题情境,激发学生探求的欲望,让他们学会思考。
一、权衡学生的英语能力,进行及时有效的课堂追问
课堂教学中,教师围绕教学内容或教学目标,在自己陈述或提问的基础上,或者在学生陈述或提问的基础上,权衡学生的英语能力,进行及时有效的课堂追问,可以放飞学生的思维,充分展示学生的个性,提升其思维品质,使教学从肤浅走向深入。
【案例1】教学内容:PEP五(下)Unit 5 Whose dog is it?(Part B Let’s learn)
目标词汇:climbing,eating playing,jumping,sleeping drinking
通过PPT图像和声音创设Mike,Zhang Peng,John and Chen Jie,they are doing something的情境,当大部分学生都能回答:What is Mike/Zhang Peng...doing?He/She is...但都只是加入了v-ing形式的简单句。
T:(选准一个学生追问)OK,Mike is eating.But where is Mike?
S1:He is in the kitchen.
T:So Mike is...(鼓励的眼神深情地注视着该学生)
S1:(学生略迟疑)Mike is eating in the kitchen.
T:Very good!So what is Zhang Peng doing?
S1:He is jumping on the playground.(学生激动的心情溢于言表)
T:What is Chenjie doing?
S2:She is sleeping on the sofa.
教师一句简单的追问“Where is Mike”?引出动作发生的地点,学生很自然地将地点放入了所训练的现在进行时态当中,使训练的句子显得丰满真实。
【案例2】教学内容:PEP四(上)Unit 1 My classroom复习课
目标句型和词汇:
句型:What’s in the classroom?/We have a new classroom./Where is it?/It is near the window./Let’s clean the classroom.
词汇:classroom,window,blackboard,light,picture,door,teachers’desk,computer,fan,wall,floor
这是一次名师展示观摩活动,这位教师是借班上课,在课堂导入阶段,她连续进行了六次追问,有效地激活了学生的英语思考力。
因为是借班上课,教师简单告诉学生:My English name is Em ily.然后就直入主题开始谈论学生的Classroom。
T:Wow,you have a nice classroom.What’s in your classroom?
Ss:(学生显得安静而怯怯)没有学生举手。
T:Oh,I can see a teachers’desk.What can you see?(第一次追问)
S1:I can see desks and chairs.
...
S5:I can see a fan.
T:OK,you can see a fan.Where is the fan?(第二次追问)
Ss:...(学生又陷入安静)
T:Is it on the teachers’desk?(第三次追问)
Ss:No!
T:Where is it?(第四次追问)
Ss:It is on the wall.
T:Where is the picture?(第五次追问)
Ss:It is on the wall.
T:Yes,it is on the wall,too.But what is on the teachers’desk?(第六次追问)
Ss:A computer.
T:Wow,the computer is a little dirty.Let’s clean the computer.(拿抹布做拭擦动作)
我们……
