27、学习,扫除学生的阅读障碍。在这一过程中我利用多媒体,融图画、声音、文字于一体,以声、光、色的直觉效应强化学生的观察、记忆、思维和想象,使学生的阅读从抽象向形象转化,使阅读的过程成为游戏和欣赏的过程,从而提高了他们对本课进一步学习的兴趣和热情。在 Reading 部分我主要采用小组合作的形式。课堂上小组共同阅读,合作学习,使学生在平等、协作、交流、讨论中,都有发言的机会、表现的机会、成功的机会。阅读活动中,小组内先读,先练说,每个学生都参与了活动。学生能选择一个水平适当的角色参与交流和探讨,在学习活动中互相帮助,共同提高,知识和情感都得到发展。小组竞赛更能激发全体学生产生健康、积极向上的心理,更
28、能保持和提高学生学习英语的兴趣,对提高阅读和交际能力起着积极的推动作用。 在 Post-Reading 环节中,我让学生复述文章内容,根据文章中的关键词句的提升,用自己的话把文章的主要情节和内容简明扼要地表达出来,以便让学生巩固已获取的语言信息知识,训练学生的记忆训练思维训练和口语表达能力。 当然,在本节阅读教学课中,也有许多值得改进之处。如:教学没有照顾到中等偏下水平的同学,课堂气氛不够活跃,今后要注意针对这部分的同学设置些更容易的问题,提高他们的自信心和开口说英语的能力。在个别环节没有为学生建立完善的思维导图,没有为学生的英语思维及时引导。通过本课的公开教学,我深有感触,教学永远是一门无止境的艺术,无论怎样构思教学,总要需要我们进一步改进的地方,因此,我也会不断的学习和提升自我,提炼自己的语言,为学生英语思维和语言的发展把好脉搏。
