【摘 要】在小学英语教学中,挑战性课堂要求教师能够以学生为主体,在积极调动学生原有知识储备的基础上,注重对学生学习兴趣的激发、思维的拓展,以及综合语言运用能力的锻炼,让学生对新的知识充满挑战欲,从而使得学习在课堂中真正发生。

【关键词】挑战性课堂 学生主体 真正发生

著名教育心理学家韦特海默说:“别人对你的感受,并不完全依赖于你付出了多少,而更大程度在于是以一种什么样的方式付出。”很多时候,教师花费大量时间在教材的研究以及教学材料的准备上,却忽略了作为学习主体地位的学生的需求。或者说,学生对学习的获得感并不完全依赖于教师的付出,更多的是在于自身对学习的付出和感悟。那么,什么样的学习能让学生产生兴趣,从而愿意付出呢?笔者认为,教学要有一定的难度,即让学生有挑战性地进行主动学习,并在原有基础上努力跳一跳,方能够摘到新的果实,品尝新知的甘甜,继而让学习真正发生。本文就以译林版英语五年级上册Unit 6 My e-friend Story time的教学为例,谈一谈笔者对于挑战性学习在英语课堂中运用的体会和感悟。

【教学实录】

(课堂伊始,师生共同欣赏歌曲Friends的视频后,然后视频画面定格在开心的人物上)

T: Look, why are they so happy?(做疑问状)

S: Because they have many friends.

T: Right! They can walk together, sit together, eat together and play together. Because they are friends. Do you have any friends?(微笑并做期待状)

Ss: Yes! /Sure. / Of course...

T: Wonderful! I really want to know who your friend is. Now you can talk about him or her, just like the PPT shows(见图1).

S: I have a good friend. She is 12 years old. She likes dogs very much. She likes mangoes. She is good at Maths. She likes dancing.

T: Wow, you know her a lot. Do you like dancing?(做好奇状)

S: Yes. I like dancing,too.

T: That’s why you are good friends, right?You have the same hobby.(做肯定状)OK, anyone else?

S:...

T: Just now , we talked about our friends. But there is another kind of friend. They can’t often walk together, eat together or play together. But they can use computers to chat. Can you guess what friend it is?

S: I guess it’s e-friend.

T: Bingo! And today our topic is “My e-friend”.

【分析与思考】

回顾旧知算不算挑战?答案必然是肯定的。在英语学习中,学生在某一段时间学习某一话题时,经过不断地操练和巩固,往往都能掌握对该话题的表达和情景运用。……
