英语论文之初中英语教学的交际性活动 <br />九年制义务教育初级中学英语新教材的正式使用已有几年了,该教材为初中英语教学真正实现从应试教学 向素质教学的转化提供了切实可行的操作材料。它的编写体系不仅考虑到了语言的结构,更注重用语言表达实 际的意义,为逐步培养学生从言语技能发展成为语言的交际能力奠定了基础,并使课堂教学中开展准交际性活 动成为可能。 所谓准交际性活动,即是课堂教学过程中所开展的不脱离所学语言内容或知识,但又具有部分交际方面的 特征的言语实践活动。它虽不是完全的自然交际性活动,但比一般的操练形式更易达到大纲提出的“使学生获 得英语基础知识和为交际初步运用英语的能力”之目的。 <br /> 现以初中新教材第一册16单元第61课中的第3个练习为例,说明准交际性活动怎样得以成功。该练习 为:Ask and answer.Find the differences. <br /> Look at these two pictures.Can you find <br /> five differences? <br /> (Picture 1 and Picture 2略) <br /> 试比较以下两种操练方法: <br /> 方法一: <br /> 要求:师生合作或生生合作,每二人为一组,全体学生看着这二幅图画。如果有必要教师可提供个别词汇 。这样,可能出现以下对话: <br /> Teacher or Student 1:Where is the boy in <br /> Picture 1/ <br /> Picture 2? <br /> Student 2:He is on his bike in Picture 1./ <br /> He is not on his bike in Picture 2. <br /> Teacher or Student 1:Where is the man in <br /> Picture 1/ <br /> Picture 2? <br /> Student 2:He is under the (red) car in Picture 1. <br /> /He is on the (red) car in Picture 2. <br /> Teacher or Student 1:Where is the woman in <br /> <br /> Picture 1. <br /> /Picture 2? <br /> Student 2:She is in the (red) car in Picture 1. <br /> /She is behind the car in Picture 2? <br /> Teacher or Student 1:Where is the girl in <br /> Picture 1/ <br /> Picture 2? <br /> Student 2:She is under the (big) tree in Picture 1. <br /> /She is not under the tree in Picture 2. <br /> Teacher or Student 1:Where is the cat in <br /> Picture 1/ <br /> Picture 2? <br /> Student 2:It is on the (black) car in Picture 1 <br /> /It is under the car in Picture 2. <br /> 应该说,以上对话开展得非常好,一问一答恰到好处。但实际上,二幅图画的不同之处一目了然,学生只 要从其比较中就能立即发现,然后组织语言回答所提出的问题即能达到目的,这也就是针对性提示的一种纯语 言知识的操练,很难找出交际方面的某些特征。 <br /> 方法二: <br /> 要求:师生合作或生生合作,每二人为一组,合作双方各执其中一幅图画,不能相互观看比较,操练时合 着书本。图画用复制品或用简画复制,并在操练前不通知学生作准备。双方自由对话,即可根据自己的画面的 情景针对对方提供的问题或线索随时加以回答、补充或表达,甚至提出反问,直到找出二幅图画的不同处为止 。教师提供以下词汇:beside(在……旁边)、before(在……前面)、with(与……在一起)。教师或学生 1执Picture 1,学生2执Picture 2。这样,可能产生以下对话:Teacher or Student 1:An old man is/s its on the chair. <br /> Student 2:Yes,(and)a dog is beside him. <br /> Teacher or Student 1:Where is the boy?Is he on the bike? <br /> Student 2:No,he is not on the bike.He's beside the bike. <br /> The girl is before him. <br /> Teacher or Student 1:(No)you are wrong.He's on the bike.The girl is under the tree <br /> S...
