读写联动教学法的这一阶段就是要根据教材中阅读材料的不足,有意识地按照阅读理解教学的要求,完成写作教学的这一基础工作,从而实现写作话题与阅读材料的联动。例如,在学习人民教育出版社教材《新目标英语》八年级下Unit 2“I'll help to clean up the city parks.”第一课时过程中,笔者制定了本节课的教学目标。
Teaching Objectives:
By the end of the class,you will be able to...
Listen and get the key information about what people could do to help others.
Talk about what we could do to help others.
然后,根据教学需求,笔者在网上找到了与本课志愿者话题相关的Michael Jackson演唱的英文歌Heal the World。进而,利用早读时间,让学生学习歌词、学习唱歌。
Heal the World By Michael Jackson
导 语:Child:Think about urn...the generations and say we wanna make it a better place for our children and our children's children,so that they,they,they,they know it's a better world for them.And think,think make it better place.(沉思那潮生潮灭,世代更迭,说吧,说我们想要为孩子们和他们的子孙营造更美好的家园;让他们明了,他们活在一个较过去更加美好的世界,从而让他们坚信,他们也可以营造一个愈加美好的世界。)
There's a place in your heart.在你心中有个地方,
And I know that it is love.我知道那里充满了爱。
And this place could be...
Much brighter than tomorrow.这个地方会比明天更灿烂。
And if you really try...如果你真的努力过,
You'll find there's no need to cry.你会发觉不必哭泣。
In this place you'll feel...在这个地方,你感觉……
There's no hurt or sorrow.你感觉不到伤痛或烦忧。
There are ways to get there.到那个地方的方法很多。
If you care enough for the living...如果你真心关怀生者……
Make a little space.营造一些空间。

If you care enough for the living...如果你真心关怀生者……
Make a better place for you and for me.为你、为我,创造一个更美好的世界。
(一)确定阅读材料
根据建构主义和过程写作理论,阅读教学除了关注传统的篇章结构、语法、词汇外,更应关注阅读内容。因此,教师在筛选阅读材料时,要着重考虑两个方面的因素:一是学生,二是材料的内容。首先,所选材料的难度要适宜,要与学生的实际英语水平相适应。太难,则会造成教与学的诸多障碍,影响教学活动的顺畅进行;太易,则对学生没有太大的帮助,容易造成学生英语学习的麻痹思想。其次,所选的材料要思想健康、内容丰富、题材广泛。要既能引起学生浓厚的阅读兴趣,又能满足学生学、教师教的需要。最后,所选的材料要体裁多样,风格独特,语言规范地道,要有较高的借鉴、模仿价值。
在学习人民教育出版社教材《新目标英语》八年级Book 4 Unit 2“I'll help clean up the city parks.”单元的第一课时过程中,课本中的listening和speaking的内容对笔者的学生来讲略显单薄,listening不能满足学生speaking和writing的需要。因此,笔者在教材的使用上进行了一些调整。
设计思路为:通过听力学习本课的重点句型,利用阅读篇章来巩固所学的语言知识,培养学生一定的听力和阅读能力;通过补充阅读扩展话题的交际能力,能够口头和书面表达“What can we do to help others.(我们可以在哪些方面帮助他人)”。
本节课的两篇补充阅读分别选自课外阅读书。
Additional Reading A
There are many simple things you can do to help protect the earth.Choose ideas from the list below or come up with a few of your own.
Plant flowers,plants or trees.
Organize a group of friends to pick up rubbish at a park.
Turn off the lights,radio when you leave the room.
Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth.Also,use a glass cup instead of a paper cup.
Take shorter showers to save water.
Donate your old books and magazines to a library instead of throwing them away.
If you take your lunch to school,use a bag or box to store your food.This not only saves money,but also reduces garbage.
If you have outgrown your clothes,but they are still in good conditions,give them to a younger child instead of just throwing them away.
Use both sides of paper.
Encourage all your friends to do the same things you do to help protect the earth!You don't have to wait until Volunteer Day to do these things.Make every day Volunteer Day!
笔者为补充阅读A设置了两个问题,使学生通过阅读,能够开阔思路,把握主旨。这样既能训练阅读技能,又能为口头表达做准备。
1.Answer the questions:
What's the main idea of this passage?______________________
What can you do to help protect the earth?____________________(www.xing528.com)
在口语表达活动中,学生能够运用课内听力和课外阅读中所学的句型和思想,表达自己的观点。
2.Group Work:School-Volunteer Day is coming.“Love Club”is talking about what volunteer work they could do for their school.
Interview:
A:What would you like to do,Mary?/What do you like to do?/What can you do?
B:I like to work outside.
A:You could help to clean up the school yard.How about you,Tom?
C:...
A:What do you think of volunteer work?
Report:Report what you and your partner would like to do,and what volunteer work you could do.
学生作品:
I love reading,so I could go to the Old People's Home to read newspapers for the old people.However,my partner is outgoing and she has a gift for singing and dancing,so it's a good idea for her to go to the hospital to cheer up the sick kids.
All in all,we're not born for ourselves.We'd like to try our best to help others.
在补充阅读B中,指导学生通过阅读把握本文的主旨大意、作者的写作意图,进而理解本文的深刻内涵——Being a volunteer is so great!
Additional Reading B
When do you think of a forest,what do you see?Just trees?Or do you see many other things,such as singing birds,colorful plants and wild flowers?
The forest is a whole world of its own.It is full of many different living things(生物).But even though they are all different,they have one thing in common:they all need each other in order to live on.
The trees feed the forest“people”by making food in their leaves;by using sunlight to join water and minerals(矿物)from the soil and air.Their deep network of roots joins the soil together and stops it from dying out,making it possible for living things to live in it.
Human beings(人类)are like the living things in the forest.We need one another in order to live.We need the farmers to grow our food,railroad and truck drivers to bring it to our shops and clerks to sell it to us.We need people to prepare our food and cook it and others to take our waste things away.Then,of course,we need doctors,nurses,government leaders,mailmen,telephone operators,and many others.
We also need other human beings in another way.We need people for friendship,to talk over our problems,exchange ideas.Think how lonely and unhappy you would be if you lived all alone.
Life is a matter of giving and taking.We need to help other people as much as we need other people to help us.Think what a good feeling you have when you have done something for someone else.You know,being a volunteer is so great!
EX:Choose the best answer:
( )The writer mainly wants to tell us____.
A.we need people for friendship
B.we need one another in order to live
C.the forest is a whole world of its own
D.the forest is full of different living things
( )Which one is the relationship between a forest and your life?
A.We can see trees in the forests.
B.We like the living things in the forest.
C.We need farmers to grow our food in the forest.
D.We are the same as the forest;We need each other to live on.
EX:What can you learn from these two reading passages?
学生回答:
Life is a matter of giving and taking.
One for all and all for one.
Virtue never grows old.
Be considerate toward the poor.
It is better to give than to take.
Many hands make light work.
I think doing volunteer work will make a difference to their life and ours.
教师总结:If you ever need a helping hand,you'll find them at the end of each of your arms.As you grow older,you'll discover that you have two hands,one for helping yourself,the other for helping others.
通过以上教学案例可以看出,笔者所实验的从报刊阅读培养学生英语阅读自主学习能力的核心内容为:教师以课本阅读材料为指导,以补充的报刊阅读材料为拓展,并将它们作为写作的基础,使学生在掌握最基本的知识的同时,注意拓宽知识面;关注学生,给他们自主学习和直接交流的自我发展空间;鼓励学生通过体验、实践等方式,发展读写综合能力。
(二)背景知识准备
1.目的:该教学环节的目的:一是检查学生课前准备阶段预习的效果。二是锻炼学生的口语表达能力。三是学生之间分享背景知识,取长补短,为阅读与写作练习做好准备。
2.实施方法:在介绍与阅读材料和写作话题相关的背景知识时,教师既可给学生布置课前任务,让他们自由发言;也可由教师点名发言,一人发言后由其他学生进行补充。
3.重点关注:一是对于某些话题,根据多元智能理论,可有意识地让在这一方面有特长或兴趣的学生做重点准备,以充分发挥其智能特长。二是对于基础性的内容,如果学生没有讲到,教师可做启发式引导或直接向学生提供补充。
