整合英语阅读与写作教学案例
湖北襄阳四中 杨启霞
摘要:本文通过研究高一英语新教材,对英语阅读与写作相结合的教学进行了探究。
关键词:阅读教学 阅读与写作相结合 整合案例
写作作为语言运用的基本技能之一在高考中占的分值较多,在我国高中英语教学中也一直是个薄弱而困难的环节。随着教学改革的不断推进,高中英语课程也进行了相应的修改。新课程标准以素质教育和促进学生的发展为根本宗旨,发展学生自主学习和合作学习的能力,旨在培养学生的综合语言运用能力。笔者根据《标准》和新的教学理论的要求,在对近两年高考书面表达分析的基础上,结合自己的教学实践,对教师应如何充分利用教材资源,培养学生的写作技能进行了探索。
Ⅰ、 开展写作课的指导理论
1、新课标的写作要求
《标准》规定的课程目标义务教育阶段以一至五级的目标为基础,高中阶段共有四个级别(六至九级)的目标要求。其中七级是高中阶段必须达到的级别要求。《标准》六至九级对学生的写作目标要求概括如下:
规范了书写格式。学生在写作时要注意标点符号的使用和单词的拼写。其中九级目标就要求学生在各种体裁的写作过程中做到文字通顺、格式正确。
扩大了写作体裁的范围。其中七级目标要求学生能写出常见的应用文、叙述文、描述人或事、填写表格、改编短剧等。
提高了写作能力的要求。其中八级目标要求学生能写出语意连贯且结构完整的短文,写作中做到文体规范、语句通顺。九级目标要求学生能比较详细和生动地用英语描述情景、态度或感情,阐述自己观点和评述他人观点时,文体恰当,用词准确。
提高了学生引用和处理资料的要求。其中九级目标要求学生能在写作中恰当地处理引用的资料及他人的原话。
强调培养学生养成良好的写作习惯和创新思维能力,注重表达的逻辑性和准确性,从而逐步掌握写作技能。
2、系统论
外语教学是一个系统,写作教学是其中的一个子系统,与听、说、读等教学共同构成一个科学的大系统,它是由英语词汇、语法、主题及其写作手法和技巧等相互依赖,相互作用的诸要素组成的有机整体。
3. 建构主义学习理论认为,学习者知识的获取不是通过教师传授得到的,而是学习者在一定的情境即社会文化背景下,借助其他人(包括教师和学习伙伴)的帮助,利用必要的学习资料,通过意义建构的方式而获得。
4. 输入是语言学习的手段,是习得的先决条件,是基础。输出是目的。是习得的必要途径,也是语言学习的终极目的。在我国这种没有第二语言环境的情况下,语言输入是必要的,没有输入就不可能有输出。但是没有输出,学习者就不会注意到一些语言形式,不会使输入内化和吸收,所以二者相辅相成,缺一不可。阅读和写作分别是语言输入和输出的重要环节,作为‘输入”的阅读必然对“输出”的英语写作的促进作用。
Ⅱ、高一英语新教材与英语写作的关系
现行高中英语教材中的课文话题广泛,体裁多样,表达形式活泼,为英语写作的教与学提供了许多优秀的学习材料。笔者研究了高一英语新教材的内容,把每单元阅读话题与写作相结合进行写作训练,结果如下:

Ⅲ、阅读与写作教学的整合案例
现以必修1第四单元Earthquakes为例,谈谈如何把阅读与写作教学相结合。
Teaching procedures:
Step I. Warming up
①Good morning class. Have you ever experienced any natural disasters? Look at the pictures, can you name all the disasters?
Have you ever experienced an earthquake? Can you describe how terrible an earthquake is?
(The earth is shaking; all the buildings will fall down; many people will die; many children will become orphans.)
②Now, look at the pictures of Tangshan and San Francisco in warming up and describe what you see in the pictures. (beautiful cities; broad roads; tall building; large population.)
What will happen if there has been a big earthquake in these two cities?
③As we all know, earthquakes are disasters to everyone. But can we avoid or at least reduce the loss caused by earthquakes? Can we foretell earthquakes? Now let’s come to Pre-reading and decide what may happen before an earthquake comes.
Step Ⅱ. Fast reading
①Today, we’ll learn a text “A Night the Earth didn’t sleep” First, let’s look at the title again, why the earth didn’t sleep for a night? What happened? What does the passage mainly talk about? Exchange your understanding of the passage with group members and work together to find the main idea of each part.
②Main idea of each part:
Part 1 (para.1):Strange things were happening before the earthquake.
Part 2 (para.2-3):The disaster happened and caused a lot of loss.
Part 3 (para.4): All hope was not lost.
③Step 3. careful reading
Read carefully and try to get more information to fill in the blanks.
Part 1:
Strange things
the water in the village wells
rose and fell
the well walls
had deep cracks and a smelly
gas came out
the chickens and pigs
were too nervous to eat
mice
ran out of the fields, looking for places to hide
fish
jumped out of the bowls and ponds
Part 2: Get the students to find some details of this part.
Details:
1. At 3:42 am, the greatest earthquake of the 20th century began.
2. Steam burst from holes in the ground.
3. Hard hills of the rock became rivers of dirt.
4. Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves.
5. Two dams and most of the bridges fell.
6. The railway tracks were now useless pieces of steel.
7. Sand now filled the wells instead of water.
8. Water, food, and electricity were hard to get.
Part 3: How were the people helped by the army?
*The army organized teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the dead.
*Miners were rescued from the coal mines.
*Shelters were built for survivors whose homes had been destroyed.
*Fresh water was taken to the city.
Step Ⅲ Discussion
What shall we do or not do if an earthquake happens?
Dos
Don’ts
stay in a small room, such as kitchen or bathroom
be close to the outside wall
hide under the table or bed, if you haven’t time
stay on the balcony
to escape , you may stand close to the inside wall with some things covering on the head.
jump out of the tall buildings
Use the lift
if you stay in the open air, keep off the tall building and go to the fields without trees .
stay close to tall buildings or trees

[连句成篇]
Dear Mary,
Have you heard of the earthquake in Japan?
An earthquake shook Japan with historic strength on March 11, 2011. The earthquake and the tsunami it caused made many buildings destroyed, pipes burst out and electricity cut off. As a result, a great number of people lost their lives and become homeless and made huge losses.
To my surprise, the emergency system in government and other businesses were not in ruins although people suffered such a terrible earthquake. The public kept calm and behaved in order, which showed the quality of the whole nation. The latest news sent by the media calmed people a lot.
As a student, we should have enough knowledge about how to prevent damages and avoid possible earthquakes. I strongly believe Japanese people can deal with this disaster and rescue themselves.
What about your thoughts about this? Please write to me soon.
Yours,
Mike
