以读促写教学模式探究及案例分析
以读促写教学模式探究及案例分析【摘要】阅读是语言输入的重要途径,写作则是语言输出的重要方式, 但因种种原因，长期以来，写作一直是困扰初中学生的一大难题。
本文结合教学案例，阐述了读写结合的方法以及“读”促写对学生“写”及综合语言运用能力的促进。
【关键词】以读促写；读写结合《义务教育英语课程标准（2011年版）》第三部分分级标准中对九年级学生在英语写作方面有明确的要求：能根据写作要求收集、准备素材，能独立起草短文、短信等，并在教师的指导下进行修改；能使用常见的连接词表示顺序和逻辑关系；能简单描述人物或事件；能根据图示或表格写出简单的段落或操作说明。
从教学中或在阅卷中不难发现，学生在写作时常常出现以下问题：学生的审题能力差；文章语言素材不丰富，英语句子基本结构意识弱；表达不得体，结构单一，缺少连贯性，篇章意识差等。
可以说，长期以来，写作一直是困扰初中学生的一大难题。
阅读是语言输入的主要途径,也是写作的基础。
阅读能给学生提供大量的写作素材。
学生可以通过有指导的、科学的阅读积累词汇,储存句法和语篇知识,学习遣词造句和布局谋篇。
以读促写是近年来英语课堂教学中的热门话题。
英语教学中的阅读和写作都属于书面语,存在一定的知识共享,它们之间的迁移是基于两者共享知识的迁移。
在读和写的知识与技能迁移过程中,加大阅读量和提升阅读技能,有助于丰富写作内容和积累写作语言,发展写作技能,反之亦然。
可见,以写作为目的的阅读课堂可以为写作提供素材,创设情境,丰富写作语料,明确写作的目的性和中心话题。
我们在教学实践中可以尝试通过以读促写的教学形式,以教材中的阅读文章为文本基础,通过设计科学、合理地培养学生思维品质的教学环节,引导学生挖掘话题,吸收语言,整合结构,为后续的写作做好铺垫。
以读促写的阅读教学实例将以读促写的阅读课与培养学生的思维品质巧妙结合起来,对提升初中英语课堂教学的有效性和发展学生的英语学科核心素养具有重要的意义。
教学实例1：下面以8下第二单元Travelling Reading版块的课文A tripto Hong Kong为例,探讨如何通过设计有梯度、多样化的语言活动,实践以写作为目的的有效阅读教学。

Marcela’s Work Experience
I decided early in my college years that I wanted to experience living abroad before entering the “real world”. During my senior year, while most of my friends were interviewing for “real world” jobs, I was investigating how I could go to work in a different country. At that early stage of my inquiry I was pretty open about where to go and what kind of work to undertake. My desire to live abroad was so strong that I was willing to do anything anywhere.

Lester’ Lester’s Guidelines
However, “the thesis will fall short of expectations if it fails to answer ‘yes’ ” to each question that follows: 1) Does it express your position in a full, declarative sentence, which is not a question, not a statement of purpose, and not merely a topic? 2) Does it limit the subject to a narrow focus that grows out of research? 3) Does it establish an investigative, inventive edge to the discovery, interpretation, or theoretical presentation? (Lester, 125)
Gibaldi’s guidelines (2):
What audience are you writing for? Is your reader a specialist on the subject? Someone likely to agree or disagree with you? Someone likely to be interested or uninterested in the subject?

Finally, good English academic writing demonstrates sophisticated use of the English language. First, "A" papers are clearly written at the sentence level. Organization is important not only at the rhetorical level; it is crucial at the sentence level. Disorganized sentences disrupt the flow of thought in a paper and interfere with the meaning of the passage. Frequent agreement errors, misspellings, incorrect punctuation, and other such problems also demonstrate lack of control of English and distract the reader.

现代大学英语（第二版）基础写作（上）教师用书Unit 3Task One: Summary WritingActivity 1Summarizing a story section by sectionSummarize “The Midnight Visitor,” using the above guidelines just given and those stated in the previous units. Here are some questions for you to think about while reading the text.1.Ausable, an American secret agent. A summary should focus on him because thestory portrays the main character rather than narrates an incident he is involved in.2.Max, the German spy. He is important and shouldn’t be left out because theconflict is the struggle between him and Ausable.3.Fowler, the young American writer. He has no part in the conflict. In the story hisfunction is to heighten a professional secret agent’s presence of mind against an inexperienced young writer’s fright in a dangerous situation.Section 1 (Paras. 1 – 4)Study the three summaries that describe the main character. Explain which of them is the best, and what is wrong with the other two.Summary 1 is the best of the three. It is objective, complete, and balanced. Second, the length is just right, about one-fourth of the original.Summary 2 focuses on a minor character although the length is all right.Summary 3 includes an unimportant detail in the last but one sentence. The second half is a repetition of what is stated in the opening sentence. And an important detail—Fowler’s presence and his impression of Ausable—is left out.Section 2 (Paras. 5 – 13)Summarize this section orally, making your summary one-third to one-fourth the length of the original. Before you summarize the passage answer these questions and list the important points you think should be included in the summary.1.He told Fowler that he would soon witness something exciting—animportant paper was to be delivered to him.2.It was a German secret agent, Ausable’s old opponent.3.He had come to get the report that was on its way to Ausable’s place.4.He remained calm. He behaved as if he had seen an old friend.5. A balcony outside the window of his room. He said he believed it was wherehis enemy had got into the room.Now list the facts you think should be included in the summary.1.Ausable told Fowler an important paper would soon be delivered to him.2.He found in his room a man with a pistol.3.The man was Max, a German spy, an old opponent.4.He wanted to get the paper Ausable mentioned.5.Ausable remained calm.6.He spoke as if he thought Max had entered his room through a balcony andtalked at length about it.Work out an outline based on the list.Thesis: Ausable worked out a plan to deal with his opponent.Outline:-Ausable told Fowler an important paper was to be delivered to him soon.-In his room, Ausable found his old opponent who had come for the same paper.-He had a plan to deal with the situation and made the man believe there was a balcony outside the window.Section 3 (Paras. 14-16)Summarize this passage orally.Ausable told the young writer that a very important paper was to be delivered to him that night. When they entered his room, Ausable found an old opponent of his threatening them with a pistol. The man had come for the very same paper. Looking angry, Ausable started complaining about a balcony outside the window of his room. He spoke as if he believed that his enemy had got in through the balcony, but the man said he had used a passkey.Section 4 (Paras. 17-28)Now list the facts you think should be included in the summary.-They heard a knock at the door.-Ausable said that he had sent for the police for protection.-Max moved to the window, intending to hide on the balcony.-The doorknob turned and Max dropped to what he thought was the balcony.- A waiter walked in with the drink Ausable had ordered.-Ausable told Fowler there was no police and Max would not return.Work out an outline based on the list.Thesis: Ausable defeated his opponent. / Ausable’s plan worked.Outline:-When someone knocked at the door, Ausable made the man believe it was the police.-The man moved to the window and was ready to hide on the balcony.-When the doorknob turned, the man dropped to his death as there was no balconySummarize the passage orally.Then they heard a knock at the door. Ausable said it was the police he had sent for to protect the paper. Max became nervous. He moved to the window, intending to hide on the balcony, and he told Ausable to send the police away. When the doorknob turned, he dropped out of the window. A waiter entered with the drink Ausable hadordered. Ausable then told Fowler that he had not asked the police for protection and said the man with the gun would not return.Activity 2: Summarizing a story in chronological orderRead the following narrative essay entitled “A Home of a Different Sort” section by section, summarize each section in one sentence and write the sentence in the space below.Section 1 (Paras. 1-2)1.Jeff decided to work with a ski patrol while his father demanded he went tocollege, and said he would disown/reject him if he didn’t.2.Father and son had become estranged since then.Main idea:Jeff was estranged from his father after a bitter argument about his future when he graduated from high school.Section 2 (Paras. 3-12)1.He was now doing is for himself, not for his father, after working as a planner fora big company.2.It was a trick Jeff’s sister planned and played for the estranged father and son tohave a “chance” meeting.Main idea: Years later, Jeff was attending college and kept it a secret from his father until the day of his graduation ceremony.Section 3 (Paras. 13-16)1.The father must have had mixed feelings.

Developing an Outline
Developing an OutlineAn outline is:∙ A logical, general description∙ A schematic summary∙An organizational pattern∙ A visual and conceptual design of your writingAn outline reflects logical thinking and clear classification. PurposeGeneral:∙Aids in the process of writingSpecific:∙Helps you organize your ideas∙Presents your material in a logical form∙Shows the relationships among ideas in your writing∙Constructs an ordered overview of your writing∙Defines boundaries and groupsProcessBefore you begin:∙Determine the purpose of your paper.∙Determine the audience you are writing for.∙Develop the thesis of your paper.Then:∙Brainstorm: List all the ideas that you want to include in your paper.∙Organize: Group related ideas together.∙Order: Arrange material in subsections from general to specific or from abstract to concrete.∙Label: Create main and sub headings.TheoryAn outline has a balanced structure based on the following principles: ∙Parallelism∙Coordination∙Subordination∙DivisionParallelismWhenever possible, in writing an outline, coordinate headsshould be expressed in parallel form. That is, nouns should be made parallel with nouns, verb forms with verb forms,adjectives with adjectives, and so on (Example: Nouns:computers, programs, users; Verbs: to compute, to program,to use; Adjectives: home computers, new programs,experienced users). Although parallel structure is desired,logical and clear writing should not be sacrificed simply tomaintain parallelism. (For example, there are times when nouns and gerunds at the same level of an outline are acceptable.)Reasonableness and flexibility of form is preferred to rigidity.CoordinationIn outlining, those items which are of equal significance havecomparable numeral or letter designations: an A is equal to a B,a 1 to a 2, an a to a b, etc. Coordinates should be seen as havingthe same value. Coordination is a principle that enables a writer to maintain a coherent and consistent document.Correct coordinationA. Word processing programsB. Database programsC. Spreadsheet programsFaulty coordinationo A. Word processing programsB. Microsoft WordC. Page MakerExplanation: Word is a type of word processing program and should be treated as a subdivision. Page Maker is a type of desktop publishing program. One way to correct coordination would be:A. Types of programs1. Word processing2. Desktop publishingB. Evaluation of programs1. Word processinga. Wordb. Word Perfect2. Desktop Publishinga. Page Makerb. Quark ExpressSubordinationIn order to indicate levels of significance, an outline uses major and minor headings. Thus in ordering ideas, you should organize it from general to specific or from abstract to concrete- the more general or abstract the term, the higher the level or rank in the outline. This principle allows your material to be ordered in terms of logic and requires a clear articulation of the relationship between component parts used in the outline. Subdivisions of each higher division should always have the same relationship to the whole.Correct subordinationA. Word processing programs1. Microsoft Word2. Word PerfectB. Desktop publishing programs1. PageMaker2. Quark ExpressFaulty subordinationA. Word processing programs1. Word2. Useful3. ObsoleteExplanation: There is an A without a B. Also 1, 2, and 3 are not equal; Word is a type of word processing program, and usefuland obsolete are qualities. One way to correct this faultysubordination is:A. Word1. Positive features2. Negative featuresB. Word Perfect1. Positive features2. Negative featuresDivisionTo divide you always need at least two parts; therefore, there can never be an A without a B, a 1 without a 2, an a without a b, etc. Usually there is more than one way to divide parts;however, when dividing use only one basis of division at eachrank, and make the basis of division as sharp as possible.Correct divisionA. Personal computers: hardware1. Types2. Cost3. MaintenanceB. Personal computers: softwareFaulty divisionA. Computers1. Mainframe2. Microa. Floppy diskb. Hard diskB. Computer uses1. Institutional2. PersonalFormThe most important rule for outlining form is to be consistent!An outline can use topic or sentence structure.A topic outline uses words or phrases for all entries and uses no punctuation after entries.Advantages: presents a brief overview of work and is generally easier and faster to write than a sentence outline.A sentence outline uses complete sentences for all entries and uses correct punctuation.Advantages: presents a more detailed overview of work including possible topic sentences and is easier and faster for writing the final paper.An outline can use Roman numerals/letters or decimal form.
