在课堂环节中恰当引入英语原声资源提升学生听说素养的研究与实践

在课堂环节中恰当引入英语原声资源提升学生听说素养的研究与实践

在课堂环节中恰当引入英语原声资源提升学生听说素养的研究与实践摘要:通过精准甄选内容、恰当时机、不同方式的引入原声资源,并根据不同年级孩子的认知特点,创设丰富的英语环境和听说的活动调动学生的学习积极性,有效提升小学生的英语听说能力。

教师立足于现行教材,不割裂、有融合的推进渗透原声英语资源,也是对现行教材知识拓展部分的提升。

如何让大量的经过甄选的原声资源进入到教学环节,是我们在课堂实践研究中重点关注的内容。

在组织、管理上我们经过实践,得出了这样的经验。

关键词:时机内容思维能力1.在热身中引入(浸染语境、激活思维)将英语歌曲童谣纳入40分钟课堂,一二年级以英语童谣、歌曲为主,主要以激发兴趣、轻松磨耳朵为目的,让学生整体接触歌词、童谣。

由于其内容具有重复性、朗朗上口、内容简单、意义积极又向上,在复现与重复的过程中感受、练习并提升学生的语感。

三四年级针对教材话题选择能够与教材内容匹配的童谣内容,融入到课前热身环节,成为40分钟课堂的一部分。

如:《Five little monkeys》作为Lesson 5 Let’s run a race一课的热身歌曲就非常贴切。

2.在问题中引入(帮助理解、给出线索)原声资源的引入,不仅在课堂的初始阶段可以融入,在课堂中也可以借鉴一些原声资源片段,引发学生的思考,引导学生提出问题,结合课文内容进行听说、问答。

如:科普版小学英语六年级下册出现了《灰姑娘》、《巨人的花园》、《渔夫与金鱼》等经典故事的阅读篇章,在故事推进过程中,教师可以出示这些经典故事的节选,引导学生站在整个故事发展的始终去理解人物的语言描写,提出问题、回答问题的过程中,有师生对话、生生对话,对文章的理解随着对话推进,走向深入。

教师还可以布置相关内容的趣配音,将课文通过APP延展到课外。

英语趣配音适用于一至六年级,有利于学生纠正发音、训练朗读、表达的流畅度、连贯度。

3.在活动中引入(营造氛围、角色带入)课题实验校均开设了经典儿童电影赏析课,每周开设一节英文电影赏析课,为学生精选儿童电影,感受生活中的英语,尤其是在不同场景、不同情绪英语的表达所涉及到的语音、语调。

网络资源在中职幼师英语教学中的应用

网络资源在中职幼师英语教学中的应用

网络资源在中职幼师英语教学中的应用【摘要】随着社会的发展和中国的国际化,国家对英语人才的需求日渐迫切,英语学习要从幼儿开始的理念也越来越受到社会和家长的认可。

故许多幼儿园为了迎合家长的需求,突出办园特色,都陆续开设了幼儿英语课。

然而,中职幼师专业学生英语学习的现状却不尽如人意,如英语基础差、两极分化严重、缺乏学习英语的兴趣、没有合适教材等。

本文结合个人几年来在幼师英语教学一线的实践教学与摸索,谈谈网络资源在中职幼师英语教学中的应用。

【关键词】中职幼师英语;英语教学;网络资源【中图分类号】g633【文献标识码】a【文章编号】2095-3089(2012)12-0160-02随着社会的发展和中国的国际化,国家对英语人才的需求日渐迫切,英语学习要从幼儿开始的理念也越来越受到社会和家长的认可。

因此,许多幼儿园为了迎合家长的需求,突出办园特色,都陆续开设了幼儿英语课。

然而,调查发现,中职毕业生很难走上幼儿英语教师岗位,很多幼儿园的英语教师不是水平很高就是外聘的大学生,甚至是外籍教师。

他们大多欠缺幼儿教育知识,不了解幼儿身心发展的特点,因而教学内容和方法不尽符合幼儿认知规律。

基于以上情况,培养优秀的幼儿英语教师就成为了一个迫在眉睫的任务。

然中职幼师学生的英语学习现状令人担忧。

一是大部分报读幼师的学生英语基础较差;而少部分高中落榜后才报读幼师的学生英语基础不错,这就形成了两极分化。

因此,课堂上常出现差的学生听不懂,好的学生觉得进度太慢的情况,这给教学带来了一定困难。

二是缺乏学习英语的兴趣。

部分基础好的学生认为,不论对自身素质的提高还是对今后的工作,英语都是非常有帮助的,因此表现积极,愿意学习;但也有相当一部分学生对学习英语的重要性和必要性认识不足,觉得学习英语毫无用处,跟自己的专业联系不大,认为只要学好专业课如舞蹈、声乐、钢琴、美术等就能进入好的幼儿园。

三是中职幼师英语目前尚无统一的教材,所学内容与学生今后工作关系不密切,专业性不强。

走遍美国读后感

走遍美国读后感

《走遍美国》这套教材我教了几轮,走过了不少弯路,同时也收获了很多,不难为情的说是培养了一批又一批口语优秀的学生。

在此我想写点东西谈谈感受,跟喜欢我的家长以及关心我的同行、朋友共同分享。

让我们共同为嘉善培养出更多的英语人才一起加油……《走遍美国》视听说的教学以英语教学视频为主线,遵循“视听先行→词汇语法再现→再视听巩固→练习检验→模仿语音语调→口语练习巩固→重点回顾强化→口语强化”的教学顺序,以真实情景中的地道原版英语还原给学生一个全方位的英语环境,让学生进行一场生动有趣的英语视听说之旅。

●视听先行每节课首先放映一集《走遍美国》,放映时仅有原版英语剧集,无任何帮助理解的中文字幕或英文字幕,但由于是情景教学剧,剧中演员专业,发音清晰,用词准确,表演生动活泼,再加上学生本来就有一定的英语基础,所以基本都能看懂剧情,即使遇到生词也能根据情节内容猜测大致意思,这样学生在心理上会有一种满足感。

由于没有字幕,迫使学生必须全神贯注地注意听剧中人物的对话,结合情景和人物的表演,根据已有英语知识,理解或猜测出剧情。

这时学生的思维处在一种活跃状态,对于有些没听清的词语,他们会根据前后情节做出自己的推测和多种假设,同时学生也处于一种急于解开谜团,以验证自己的猜测是否准确,时刻处在对知识的渴求状态,并做好了进一步接受信息的心理准备。

●词汇语法再现学生接下来点击生词、片语和句型按钮,会出现这一集中涉及的稍难的生词、短语和句型。

生词注有词性、音标、中文释义,短语有中文解释,句型有中文解释及例句。

教师可以适当领读,给学生一定的时间做笔记和诵读记忆。

此时教师特别要注意的是,根据学生的实际情况及学生的提问补充一些该教学软件中未列出的生词、短语和句型。

在这个环节中,由于学生急于检验自己在前一节的猜测是否正确,大都表现得非常积极认真,发现自己猜测正确就会非常开心,获得成就感;若发现自己猜测不准确或有偏差,则会更加认真地记忆该单词或短语,把该词汇或短语更牢固地掌握。

走遍美国简介

走遍美国简介

走遍美国简介具有的特点:第一:它结合了文字、录音、录像、实景、卡通、广播、电视、光碟,是有史以来第一套高水平的多媒体(multimedia)美语教材。

第二:不同中于一般所谓“情景对话”的教材。

《走遍美国》(Family Album, U.S.A.)是以“电视影集”的形式呈现的。

这种形式,原出版者美国麦克米伦公司(Maxwell Macmillan International Publishing Group),在美国新闻总署(U.S. Information Agency)协助之下,对全世界105个国家的英语教学者广泛咨询之后才决定的。

这105个国家的近万英语老师和他们的学生一致认为电视剧情节感人,最能吸引学习者的兴趣。

因此,麦克米伦公司和它的数十位专家们,就把这套教材编成26集的电视连续剧,每集分三幕,组成一个完整的故事,而一集与一集之间,又能脉络一贯。

故事围绕着一个典型的美国家庭四代人生活展开,具有常有的人情味,依永的幽默感。

第三:《走遍美国》(Family Album, U.S.A.)电视影集,代表了极高的制作水平。

它的编剧兼导演William Greeves,以及动画制作群英会Dovetail Group, 都曾几度获电视界最高荣誉的艾美奖(Emmy Awards)。

它的演员都是优秀的专业演员,美语发音清晰,体态语言丰富,和常见的一些粗糙作品不可同日而语。

第四:这套教材,是以快速增进听说能力为主要目标,但也同时兼顾了语法、阅读和写作能力的全面培养。

它把语法教学巧妙地结合在“学习焦点”(Focus in)一节中,用轻松的歌谣、说唱、卡通、游戏等方式,使原本枯燥的语法学习,变得活泼有趣,达到寓教于乐的效果。

第五:这套教材,使用了典型的美式英语。

由于故事的角色涵盖了祖孙四代,因此,读者可以熟悉属于不同年龄层次的美国口语,这也是一般英语教材罕见的优点。

另外,值得一提的是剧中人物有意地使用正常的语速(Normal speed)说话,一方面让学习者习惯并模仿实际场合的正常语言,以使学以致用;另外一方面,更重要的,是让学习者充分体会美语口语中常用的缩短(Contractions)和弱化(Reductions)形式,养成听美语的正确习惯。

初中英语教学论文 新课标下的初中英语教学(内含4篇)

初中英语教学论文新课标下的初中英语教学(内含4篇)在教学信息内容方面,我们需要打破单一的教材观念,将教学与现实生活结合起来,让学生接触到更多的知识、文化和语言素材。

可以引入真实的案例、文学作品、新闻报道等多元化的内容,让学生在研究语言的同时,了解更广泛的社会知识和文化背景。

同时,也可以通过多种渠道获取教学资源,如网络、图书馆、博物馆等,为学生提供更广阔的研究空间和资源。

三、注重学生的情感体验,让学生更加积极投入研究研究英语不仅仅是为了掌握一门语言,更是为了拓展视野、增长见识、提高综合素质。

因此,教学过程中需要注重学生的情感体验,让学生在研究中感受到快乐、兴趣和成就感,从而更加积极地投入到研究中去。

1.创设情境,激发学生兴趣教学过程中,可以通过创设情境来激发学生的兴趣。

比如,通过角色扮演、游戏等方式,让学生在情境中使用英语,体验语言的乐趣和实用性,从而增加学生对英语的兴趣和热情。

2.鼓励学生自主探究,增强研究成就感教学过程中,要鼓励学生自主探究,让学生在探究中发现问题、解决问题,从而增强研究成就感。

同时,也要给予学生及时的反馈和认可,让学生感受到自己的进步和成就,从而更加积极地投入到研究中去。

四、注重评价的多样性,让学生能够全面发展评价是教学过程中不可或缺的一环,但传统的评价方式往往只注重学生的语言能力,忽略了学生的其他方面发展。

因此,在新课改下的教学中,我们需要注重评价的多样性,让学生能够全面发展。

1.多元化的评价方式评价方式可以多样化,不仅仅局限于考试和测验,还可以包括口语表现、写作作品、课堂表现、项目作业等多种形式,从而全面地评价学生的语言能力、思维能力、合作能力等方面的发展。

2.个性化的评价标准评价标准也可以个性化,根据学生的不同特点和发展需求,制定个性化的评价标准,让每个学生都能够得到适合自己的评价和指导,从而更好地发展自己的潜力。

教材是重要的教学资源,但并不是唯一的教学资源。

在现代社会这个信息多元化的爆炸时代,我们的教学也不能只局限于一本教材。

关于《走遍美国(全新版)上、下册》作为我部06级商务英语专业“

关于《走遍美国(全新版)上、下册》作为我部06级商务英语专业“听力课程”教材的教材评价作者:卢彦娟来源:《校园英语·下旬》2015年第06期【摘要】本人对我部06级商务英语专业的专业基础课“听力课程”2006年开始使用的《走遍美国(全新版)上、下册》进行了一些尝试性地评价。

为今后我部的课程教材评价提供一种参考模式。

【关键词】听力教材评价参考模式我部06级商务英语专业新选用外语与研究出版社2004年9月出版的《走遍美国(全新版)上、下册》使用已一年时间。

为了帮助授课教师在实际教学中根据课程标准要求并针对中职学生学习特点,在今后的教学过程中对教材进行取舍或调整;为了在下一轮选教材时提供可参考的教材评估资料,在此,对于正在使用中的这套教材进行评价尤显必要。

本文从该教材使用的三个阶段对其进行评价,即使用前,使用中以及使用后三个阶段。

一、使用前的评价(pre-use evaluation)我部商务英语专业听力课程的教学目标重点在于使学生先达到《基本要求》中有关听力方面的要求,并为其专业英语听力课程(商务英语听力课程)奠定基础。

但是教材的选择还应针对我部商务英语班学生具体情况及学习需要而定。

该批学生均为中考英语单科成绩较弱,且升入中职的学生,其入校前绝大部分的英语基础还不够牢固;自主学习能力较差。

因此,《走遍美国》这套教材相比下较为符合要求。

原因如下:一、该教材提供的情景为电影形式的真人表演,其内容为一系列生活中常发生的事,有利于激发学生学习兴趣。

二、该教材除听力练习外,还能帮助学生复习相关语法知识,有利于语言的综合水平提高。

三、该教材的课本信息量全面,且排版采用底色明暗对比并配有插图,有利于培养学生自主学习的习惯。

二、使用中的评价(in-use evaluation)经过于该教材的使用,根据收集的学生及教师的反馈信息,笔者尝试性地对该教材进行了深入评价。

从语言话题上看,全套书共26个单元,以一本相册的出版构思到形成,直至最终展出为序,介绍美国生活的方方面面,其内容包括人生各个阶段,如高中毕业择校、工作交友、娱乐休闲、结婚生子、理财、退休生活、社区活动及文化等。

英语口语》课程教学大纲.

《英语口语》课程教学大纲一、课程性质及与其它课程的分工与联系1、课程性质本课程属专业基础课程,是《商务英语交际》和《商务英语口译》课程的先开课程。

2、先修课程《英语语音技巧》、《英语语法》、《英语听力》二、课程目标与基本要求1、课程目标本课程的教学目的是通过大量的口语练习和实践,逐步培养提高学生的口头交际能力,使学生不仅能听懂日常和商务英语会话,能以准确的语调进行英语会话,自由地表达自己的思想和观点,而且能逐步养成用符合特定场合的得体语言回答或者提出各种问题的习惯,为今后工作做好充分的准备。

2、基本要求本课程教学安排为两学年,共128课时,分四个学期完成。

第一学年着重培养学生在日常生活中的交际能力和叙述能力。

第二学年着重培养学生就社会生活和商务话题进行交谈和连贯表达的能力。

对学生在各个学期的口语能力具体要求如下:1)通过第一学期的学习,学生应能运用简单的日常英语进行对话,并能就所听、读的材料回答问题及复述,做到语音、语调、语法基本正确。

2)通过第二学期的学习,学生应能就一般日常生活话题进行简单的交谈;能就熟悉的话题经一定的准备后,作1-2分钟的连贯性发言。

3)通过第三学期的学习,学生应能经一定准备后, 就一般日常生活和社会生活话题作3-5分钟的连贯性发言和交谈。

4)通过第四学期的学习,学生应能就熟悉的话题略作准备后作3-5分钟的连贯性发言;能就日常生活和社会生活和商务话题同英语国家人士交谈;能比较准确地表达思想,语言基本得体。

三、教学内容与体系本课程采用高等教育出版社出版的《新编商务英语口语》,共四册。

教材第一册主要为各种日常对话,对话的地点在国内,背景则是中国学生所熟悉的各种口语交际场所。

内容主要涉及介绍相识、打电话、谈论天气、邀请聚会、用餐、购物、看病、吉庆假日、娱乐和体育运动等日常领域中的用语。

从第二册起,部分对话的地点和背景将移向国外。

这种结构安排使学生对背景知识从“熟悉”到“不熟悉”,从而使英语学习得以循序渐进。
