【摘要】目前小学阶段,英语教学越来越得到重视,教师尤其注重学生听说能力的培养,表现在单词教学和句子教学。而英语阅读在英语教学中也起着举足轻重的作用,阅读亦为英语学习输入的重要手段。但教师在阅读教学中感到很困惑,因此,在本文中笔者提出了阅读教学中存在的问题,并提出了几点的阅读教学建议,目的为了提高小学英语阅读教学效果和小学生的英语阅读能力。
【关键词】阅读教学 问题 建议
“教是为了不教”,这是现代教育所提倡的理念,也是我们教育工作者的最终追求。英语是一门实践性很强的学科,交际是语言最基本的功能。而阅读是语言交际中最重要的一个方面,阅读不仅能帮助学生获取兴趣,开阔视野,吸取丰富的语言知识,还能扩大词汇量,促进听、说、写的能力发展。然而,在小学英语阅读教学的过程中却发现,面对“Read and write”和“Let’s read”,教师就感到很困惑,很多学生学习积极性也不高,对阅读文章缺乏兴趣,阅读课效率并不高,问题也层出不穷。
一、目前,英语阅读教学中存在的一些常见问题
(一)教师重视对知识的传授,忽视了对学生阅读理解能力的培养
[案例1]
PEP教材Book5 Unit4 What can you do? B. Read and write
Pre-reading:
1. Warm-up: Sing a song “ What can you do?”
2. Free talk.如:How are you? What can you do? ...
3. Preview:
(1) Presentation the Robot
T: Great! You are so helpful. I have a new friend. He is helpful, too. Look! He is a robot.(出示robot)
T: Say “hello” to him , please.
Ss:Hello! Robot.
(2) T: What’s he like?
Teacher lets the class describe the robot: What’s he like?
如: He is tall. He is strong.
T: Oh, he is so lovely.
Teacher acts like a robot and asks the class: What can you do?(老师随机提问几个学生)Teacher answers the last student: I can wash the clothes and do the dishes. What can you do? Then the teacher asks two pairs to show it.
4. Presentation& Practice:
(1) Presentation the sentence Can you…?
Teacher speaks to the last student: Can you play football/ play the computer games/play ping-pong? Can you play chess? Then the teacher shows the card “play chess” and teaches the new words and presentation “Yes, I can. / No, I can’t.”
(2)T: Let’s play a game.
T shows an example: Teacher lets a student choose a card from her hands and asks her/his: Can you…? Student answers. Then lets the class ask and answer in groups and show it.
(3)T: Great! You are a wonderful team. Robot has a wonderful family. They can do a lot of things, too. They are helpful. Let’s have a look. (Teacher shows the Robot Family.) What can they do?
(Teacher shows a picture of Father Robot.)T: He is playing chess and playing the erhu. What can he do? He can play chess and play the erhu.
(Teacher shows a baby. The baby is crying).T: Who can look after her? Mother Robot can. She can look after the baby. But she can’t play chess and play the erhu. Teach “look after”. Repeat it for 3 times.
(Teacher shows a beautiful song.) T:Sister Robot can sing.(Teacher shows a dancer.) T:She can dance, too. She can sing and dance.
(Teacher shows a robot.)T: She can use a computer. Teaching “use a computer”T:But she can’t play chess, play the erhu and look after the baby.
从案例1教学设计上看,这位教师把这节课的Pre-reading教学环节设计非常好,环环相扣,教学过程流畅。但看深一点,不难看出,教师把一节课当成句型课上了,把阅读材料中出现的词汇、句型等都在这个环节掰开、揉碎、灌输给学生,恐怕学生在接下来的While-reading环节读不明白。这样久而久之,倘若学生每次阅读课都依赖教师,他们独立思考问题、揣测等所有的阅读教学的附属能力将会逐渐失去,后果更不堪设想。
(二)教师注重课堂气氛的活跃,忽视了实际效果
有些教师为了教学课堂的活跃,盲目照搬一些教学活动,达不到实际的教学效果。比如,预设“语言综合运用能力目标”达不到。
[案例2]
一位教师教学PEP Grade6上Unit 4 B Let’s read My New Friend这篇文章,在语言综合运用能力的环节要求学生写一篇题目为My friend的小文章,教师给予学生的文章内容如下:
(name) is my friend. (He/She) is a student. (He/She) (go) to school every morning. (He/She) (live) in
