評判性閱讀能力培養(yǎng)的閱讀教學(xué)實踐
????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 江蘇省海門中學(xué)外語組? 倪彬
高中英語教學(xué)應(yīng)注重培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的批判性思維能力( 教育部,2003)。教師針對閱讀文本首先依據(jù)作者選取的相關(guān)事實,理出一條線索,從而引導(dǎo)學(xué)生揣摩作者的寫作意圖,對事物的態(tài)度和價值觀,然后著重引導(dǎo)學(xué)生運用預(yù)測,分析,質(zhì)疑,推斷,批判等思維的方法去解讀文本,從而達到對閱讀材料的深刻理解(潘云梅,2011)。本文以我校百花獎?wù)n題M6U4project 為例,探討在閱讀教學(xué)中評判性閱讀能力的培養(yǎng)。
一.創(chuàng)設(shè)情景,問題引擎,自然導(dǎo)入
Step 1. 教師課間播放Doctors without borders 的視頻,激活學(xué)生思維和去幫助他人的情感
?????? 上課一開始,師生間展開如下對話
T: We will learn a passage .It’s not a speech, not an argument, not a diary, but….
S1:It’s a diary.
T: Well done. As a diary, is it written in the first person, second person or the third person?
S2: The first person
T: Is the language formal or informal?
S3: informal
T: What are the necessary two parts of a diary?
S4: Experience and Feelings
( 設(shè)計意圖:讓學(xué)生通過日記人稱和語言風格及內(nèi)容的探討,激發(fā)情緒,對接下來的要讀的日記充滿閱讀期待。)
Step2.教師趁熱打鐵,呈現(xiàn)圖片輔助,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的預(yù)測能力
T:We will learn a special diary written by a nurse who works for Doctors Without Borders.
? ?In the break time, we have seen something about doctors Doctors Without Borders.
???? What do you Observe , Wonder and Infer?
S: The doctors and nurses work with lots of difficulty.
T: Can you predict what experiences or problems will be talked about in the diary
S: …..
T: You are good predictors. It’s time to check your prediction
( 設(shè)計意圖:導(dǎo)入應(yīng)該考慮學(xué)生的認知能力,生活閱歷和事件的社會關(guān)注度。本節(jié)課以Doctors without Borders 為切入點,激活學(xué)生觀察力,想象力,和預(yù)測能力,能幫助學(xué)生更好地理解接下來的文本。)
二 獲取信息,批判閱讀,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生分析,質(zhì)疑,和推斷的能力
Step1.Reading for a gist
T: If you read for a gist, what reading strategy should be used?
S: Skimming
T: Are you supposed to read it aloud or silently? Are you supposed to read it fast or slowly?
S: Read it silently and fast
T: Here we go
S: The text is about the MSF nurse’s experiences and feelings while she is working on the Doctors Without Borders.
T: Where can you find the summary?
S: The last paragraph usually functions as conclusion, which highlights the theme of the passage.
( 設(shè)計意圖:通過checking questions 指導(dǎo)學(xué)生運用快讀策略把握文章總體框架和主旨)
Step2. Reading for information and critical thinking.
這一步驟是整節(jié)課的核心,一改傳統(tǒng)教學(xué),通過不斷追問,由淺入深,層層逼近,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生鑒別陳述表述等經(jīng)驗,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生歸納,質(zhì)疑能力,最終培養(yǎng)評判性閱讀能力。
T: Obviously , as you know, most of the passage tells us her experiences and problems .Why not figure them out?
板書:fields and harvest were destroyed /lack of food/malnutrition
T: You can use the information from the diary ,you can use the key words to summarize it or you can paraphrase it in your own words.
T: One student one point .Report the problems she met with in the experience.
Ss: no regular medicine/cut and wound/no shelter, food and clean water/language barrier/death……
( 設(shè)計意圖:這一教學(xué)步驟讓學(xué)生查找信息同時,加上自己的歸納和判斷,同時兼顧不同基礎(chǔ)提出了不同要求:可以運用原文,也可以用關(guān)鍵詞 ,也可以用自己語言轉(zhuǎn)述。便于激發(fā)每位學(xué)生閱讀興趣。)
T: Put the problems and experiences into different categories.(Group work)
學(xué)生邊講教師板書:tough weather/heath problems/food conflict/language barrier/the death
( 設(shè)計意圖:這一步驟難度遞進,目的是用核心詞歸納出各段的主旨,但教師沒有直接說,學(xué)生小組合作,水到渠成完成任務(wù),提高了提煉信息和批判性思維能力。)
T: You did a good job. You have a good understanding of the passage. How can you know it so well? What writing skills are used?
Ss: vivid description ,comparison ,examples……
( 設(shè)計意圖:讓學(xué)生自主歸納寫作手法,為后面輸出打下伏筆。)
T: Is there something impressive/shocking/surprising
Read between lines
Example: My acting skills are very good, so I can still communicate with people ,even when there is a language barrier and no interpreter around----(Gesture/Sign/Body language is a universal language)
S1:If reminded me of my time in Sudan, where several Doctors without borders staff were attacked as people tried to get the food.---- Hunger is a threat to peace/harmony.
S2:I am finding that my job is not limited to being a nurse. It is being a person who can listen to and comfort them.-----Sharing their voices /feelings and keeping them company are of great help.
S3…..
( 設(shè)計意圖:這一步驟對學(xué)生的概括和批判性思維要求很高,激發(fā)學(xué)生轉(zhuǎn)述文章的表達,同時分享閱讀感受,潤物細無聲,其實培養(yǎng)江蘇省高考任務(wù)型閱讀的能力。)
T: What do you think of her experiences?
S: exciting, challenging ,risky, adventurous
T: As a whole ,it is a demanding job
T: What does she think of her experiences?
S: We can tell she became grateful ,mature and tolerant
T: So ,we can see it is a rewarding job from a different angle.
( 設(shè)計意圖:從閱讀策略的訓(xùn)練過渡到情感價值觀的審視。)
T: What qualities are needed for the job
S: determination ,bravey ,flexible ,warm-hearted ,devoted……
T: It is love that can see us through problems and difficulties.
( 設(shè)計意圖:自然過渡,進一步主題升華)
三 精講點撥,遷移運用
PPT: l-listen with ears, O-observe with eyes, V-value with hearts. E-Express with actions.
T: Now, to help or not to help ,it is not a question. Are you ready to take action. Doctors without borders is too far away from us. Why not make a difference to others in our daily life?
PPT: Action plan—share your love –make a difference to ___
Who/ problems /actions/Feelings
教師用詩歌欣賞總結(jié): We help, although it is not easy.
? ?????????????????We help, although some people doubt.
? ?????????????????We help, although we won’t get results.
? ?????????????????We help, because it is what makes us human
? ?????????????????We help, because it is what makes the world better.
? ?????????????????We help ,because……
?( 設(shè)計意圖:學(xué)以致用,交流展示,矯正反饋,深度拓展)
Step4.Homwork: 1.Write your action plan and email it to me2.Surf the Internet to know more about doctors without borders.
T: Thank you for your cooperation. Have a nice day! I am looking forward to your coming email.
