17、学生显得稍有些紧张,但总体效果还不错,具体情况如下: 一 成功之处1 重过程,重体验,重实践本课依据新课程标准,采用了任务教学策略。在教学过程中,重过程,重体验,重实践,倡导以学生自主学习为主,教师指导为辅的体验、实践、合作和探究的学习方式。从课前信息的搜集,到小组讨论以及课后任务的布置等一系列活动,都体现了任务型教学的特点:在教学中营造氛围逐个击破任务整体合成任务,充分体现了以学生为中心和以人的发展为本的教学理念。2 开发课程资源,拓展学用渠道,强调学生能用英语做事情。本课在教学中设置开放性的任务型活动,如课前把学生分成若干组,让他们利用音像、电视、书刊杂志、网络信息等资源,搜集有关克隆的资
18、料,用英语去解决实实际问题。同时,通过这项任务的开展,开发了英语教学资源,丰富了教学内容和形式,拓宽了学生的学习渠道,把综合语言运用能力的培养落实在教学过程中。同时在课堂组织的活动中强调情感、兴趣,注重过程评价对学生的激励作用。交际法理论告诉我们:交际既是语言学习的目的,也是语言学习的手段。在教学中,本课利用小组合作学习激发自然的语言活动,锻炼学生,让他们学会用英语做事情,帮助学生消除在运用语言过程中的紧张感、拘谨感和焦虑感,做到畅所欲言。3 工具性与思想性相结合工具性是英语学科的基本性质,但不是英语学科唯一的性质。它还有许多性质,其中最重要的是它的人文性,因为它是交流思想的工具。英语教师在学
19、生掌握英语这门语言的同时,还要对学生进行思想教育,把思想教育融于听说读写训练之中。在教学本课时,不仅使学生对前沿的高端科技克隆,有一个清楚的了解,还引导学生对其有一个正确的认识,明白任何事物都有自身的发展规律,遵循事物的发展规律是我们做任何事情的前提。真正的融德育教育于课堂教学中,体现了英语学科的工具性与思想性的特性。 二 有待进一步思考的几种关系1 教师与学生的角色定位关系与新课程同行,英语教师要从传统的角色中走出来,在教学过程中应与学生积极互动、共同发展,要处理好传授知识与培养能力的关系,引导学生质疑、调查、探究,在实践中学习,促进学生在教师指导下主动地、富有个性地学习,创设能引起学生主动
20、参与的英语教学情境,激发学生学习英语的积极性,培养学生掌握和运用知识的态度和能力,使每个学生都能得到充分发展。因此改变课堂教学模式,重新定位教师与学生的关系是每一位致力于课堂教学改革的教师首先要考虑的问题。 2 课本知识与拓展学用渠道的关系 开发课程资源,拓展学用渠道,提高学生学习的自主性,体现了现代的教育思想:教师的责任不仅是要传授一点书本知识,而且还要进行拓展性的教学,要让学生学会阅读和思考,更重要的是让学生有一种不断探求和深化知识的愿望。英语教学仅从教科书这一狭义的角度来理解,是远不够的,它还应涵盖课外书籍内容,生活实践内容,时代内容等。但这并不意味着英语教学要脱离课本知识,英语教材、3法的改革必须紧紧围绕教育的整体目标,遵循教育、教学的一般规律,否则就会背离教学改革的方向。因此,教师在布置任务时要从教材内容入手,进行拓展教学。 当然,英语教学尤其是阅读教学是一项循序渐进的工程,靠一节课是远远不够的,但只要我们在英语教学实践中,努力把学生放在主体位置上,倡导体验参与,并注意开发课程资源,拓展学用渠道,构建一个以课堂教学为主体,以课外活动和良好的语言环境为两翼的英语教学体系,我们的英语教学定会更加有趣、有效,更加适合学生的发展。4
