許多專家認(rèn)為,即使在小學(xué)階段,學(xué)生也需要一些語法知識幫助他們牢固、正確地掌握語言。巧設(shè)語法知識于故事、歌謠、游戲、歌曲等學(xué)生樂于接受的教學(xué)活動(dòng)中,以精彩的情節(jié)、明快的節(jié)奏、豐富的形式、歡快的旋律充分激發(fā)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)興趣,能讓學(xué)生輕松感知語法意義,自然總結(jié)出語法形式,愉快地掌握語法知識,快速提高運(yùn)用語言的能力。
一、巧設(shè)語法于故事中,以精彩的情節(jié)激趣
如理解“What can you do? I can...Can you...? Yes, I can. No, I cant.”等英語句子,教師可以先出示故事插圖,并利用頭飾、肢體語、模擬動(dòng)物聲音等方式講故事。
Little Pig, Little Cat and Little Cow are friends and they want to go to the party in the wood. So they go to see Mr. Elephant. Mr. Elephant is an organizer.
Little Pig goes to Mr. Elephant and asks, “Excuse me, Mr. Elephant. Can I go to the party?”
Mr. Elephant asks,“Can you sing?”
“No, I cant.” Little Pig answers.
Mr. Elephant asks,“Can you dance?”
“No, I cant.” Little Pig answers.
Mr. Elephant asks,“What can you do?”
“I can eat.” Little Pig answers.
“Sorry, you cant.” Mr. Elephant says.(下略)
二、巧設(shè)語法于歌謠中,以明快的節(jié)奏激趣
如在教學(xué)人稱代詞的格時(shí),我們可以編這樣的歌謠。
My father is a doctor.
I love him so much.
He loves me, too.
My mother is a teacher.
I love her so much.
She loves me, too.
My father is a doctor.
My mother is a teacher.
They love me so much.
I love them, too.
三、巧設(shè)語法于游戲中,以豐富的形式激趣
如在學(xué)習(xí)in, on, under, behind, in front of, over, near等介詞時(shí),教師可以設(shè)置游戲“Where is Teddy Bear?”
T:(Put Teddy Bear into the teachers desk)Where is Teddy Bear?
Ss: Its in the teachers desk.
T: Right. Lets play a guessing game. You are divided into two groups. Group A and Group B.
One of you (Pointing to Group A ) does something in the classroom and one of you (Pointing to Group B) gets the action. If your guess is right, you can gain a point for your group.
S1 put Teddy Bear behind the door.
T: Come in, please.(Open the door and let S2 in.)
T: You have three chances to guess where Teddy Bear is.
T:(To all the students) Lets ask together.
Ss: Where is Teddy Bear?
S2: Is it in the bag?
Ss: (Laugh) No. Its not in the bag.
S2:(Look around) Is it under the chair?
Ss:(Laugh) No. Its not under the chair.
S2:(Look at the door, smile) Is it behind the door?
Ss: Yes. Its behind the door.
T: You are right. One point for Group B. Now its Group As turn to guess.
四、巧設(shè)語法于歌曲中,以歡快的旋律激趣
如學(xué)習(xí)現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí),教師可以先教會(huì)學(xué)生歌曲“THE OLD BLACK CAT IS SLEEPING”:The old black cat is sleeping. Sleeping, sleeping. The old black cat is sleeping, and I am sleeping too!也可以把cat換成dog, pig, cow等動(dòng)物,學(xué)生一下子就能理解現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)所表示的意義,最后總結(jié)它的語法形式就不再是難題。
對于一些英語簡單句的基本形式和表意功能,我們也可以讓學(xué)生在歌曲中體會(huì)。
THE FEELING SONG
1. If youre happy, happy, clap your hands.
If youre happy, happy, clap your hands.
If youre happy, happy,
If youre happy, happy,
If youre happy, happy, clap your hands.
2. If youre sad, sad, sad, cry Boo hoo.
3. If youre surprised, surprised, surprised, raise your hands.
4. If youre angry, angry, angry, stamp your foot.
5. If youre scared, scared, scared, shout out loud.
6. If youre tired, tired, tired, close your eyes.
