【設計理念】
譯林新版《英語》五下Unit 5 Helping our parents這一單元圍繞孩子幫助父母做家務這一話題,呈現(xiàn)了現(xiàn)在進行時的用法。作為第一課時的教學內(nèi)容,Story time板塊以Mike的視角呈現(xiàn)了布朗一家人周六一天的生活場景。課文內(nèi)容貼近學生的生活,容易引起學生的共鳴,且將現(xiàn)在進行時融合在故事情境中更利于學生掌握。
《義務教育英語課程標準(2011年版)》指出,英語課程承擔著提高學生綜合人文素養(yǎng)的任務,英語教學要體現(xiàn)工具性與人文性的雙重屬性。在進行教學設計時,筆者力求以生為本,尊重教育規(guī)律和學生的成長規(guī)律,緊緊圍繞幫父母做家務這一話題,設計有利于啟發(fā)學生思考的教學活動,讓學生在獲得知識和技能的同時,感悟文化內(nèi)涵,積累思考問題和參與實踐的經(jīng)驗,逐步形成和發(fā)展學生的核心素養(yǎng)。
1.任務驅(qū)動,建構語言平臺。
小學英語教學以“培養(yǎng)學生的綜合語言運用能力”為總目標。本節(jié)課有一個新的語法知識:現(xiàn)在進行時。基于該內(nèi)容,筆者設計了一份學生自主學習單,上面有針對已學知識的回憶,也有對新課的預習。自主學習單可以為學生的語言學習搭好支架,為后面學習的順利開展和課后拓展延伸提供幫助。在Pre-reading這一環(huán)節(jié)中,教師通過對自主學習單的檢測,自然地引入新的學習內(nèi)容,以教師的生活為切入點引領學生進入文本,感悟文本。走出文本后,筆者引導學生圍繞板書,開展合作學習,最終完成語用任務,習得語言。
2.方法指導,培養(yǎng)閱讀能力。
本節(jié)課是一節(jié)五年級的閱讀課,閱讀課的教學必定要關注閱讀策略的滲透和學生閱讀能力的培養(yǎng)。在進行教學設計時,筆者發(fā)現(xiàn)這篇課文中的插圖生動、形象,對學生理解文本有很大的幫助。于是在讓學生自讀文本第一部分之前,筆者設計了一個問題If you dont know the meaning of the words, what can you do?并以此告訴學生通過觀察文本中的插圖可以幫助自己熟悉新單詞、理解文本,這樣便滲透了閱讀方法和策略的教學。學生學會了閱讀技巧之后,教師完全放手讓他們自學后面的兩段,訓練他們的閱讀技能,培養(yǎng)學生的自主閱讀能力。
3.情境引領,提升思維品質(zhì)。
語言是思維的工具,而思維則是人的內(nèi)部語言。作為英語教師,我們應該重視學生英語思維的培養(yǎng),提高他們的綜合語言運用能力。在本節(jié)課中,筆者創(chuàng)設不同的情境,讓學生在情境中進行交流,以讀促說,以說促思,通過 “Think and guess”“Lets imagine”等活動,培養(yǎng)學生的創(chuàng)造性思維;同時運用思維導圖,引導學生進行邏輯思維,幫助學生快速提取文本信息、處理信息,重組信息、形成自己的概念。這些做法旨在提升學生的理解能力和分析能力,提升思維的層次和品質(zhì)。
【教學目標】
1.初學課文,會讀、會說本單元重點詞句:
parent, clean, cook, sweep, busy, wash;
What is he/she doing?He / She is...
What are you/they doing?I am/We/They are...
2.能正確地理解并朗讀課文,在教師的引導下,借助圖片或關鍵詞嘗試復述課文內(nèi)容。
3.能初步感知和理解現(xiàn)在進行時的用法。
4.通過學習,鼓勵學生幫父母做力所能及的家務。
【教學過程及意圖】
Step1 Warm-up
1.Enjoy a song Monkey, Monkey,What are you doing ?
2.Self-introduction.
T: Hello, boys and girls. Today Im your new English teacher Miss Li. Im very happy to be here, to have an English lesson with you. I hope we have a good time. OK?
Ss: OK.
【歌曲節(jié)奏明快,充滿童趣,且與本課教學內(nèi)容密切相關,這不僅可以極大地激發(fā)學生的興趣、活躍課堂氛圍,而且有助于學生初步感知本節(jié)課的目標語言,滲透現(xiàn)在進行時態(tài)?!?/p>
Step 2 Pre-reading
1.Brain storming.
T:Yesterday I asked you to finish the self-study paper, have you finished?
Ss:Yes.
T:Good! Now its time for you to show us. OK?
Ss:OK.
T:Please say the words about actions quickly. The more, the better. You just have 30 seconds, and no repeating. Ready?Go!
【筆者通過自主學習單,讓學生回憶已經(jīng)學習過的動詞,并寫下來。30 seconds non-stop talking這個游戲是對這一學習任務的檢測,同時能激活學生的語言儲備,培養(yǎng)學生的發(fā)散性思維,為后面的語言輸出做好鋪墊?!?/p>
2.Talk about the hobbies.
T:Now could you tell me what do you like doing?
S:I like ...ing /....endprint
T:Oh, you like...I like...too. Look!Im...ing.
【I like...ing.是學生非常熟悉的句型,通過I like...ing. 練習...ing的用法,承上啟下,為新句型的學習埋下了伏筆?!?/p>
3.Learn to say: I am...ing.(初步感知現(xiàn)在進行時)
T:Try to follow me. I am...ing.(邊做動作邊說,再換幾個動作帶領學生邊做邊說,學習新句型:I am...ing)
T:Can you do and say“I am...ing.” ?
Ss:I am dancing/swimming/reading/...(邊做動作邊說)
T:Look at the picture.(教師的半身照片)What am I doing?Guess.
Ss:You are...ing/...
T:Look!I am sweeping the floor.
(Teach:sweep—sweep the floor—I am sweeping the floor.)
Ss try to do and say: I am sweeping the floor.
T:I am sweeping the floor at home.What about my families? What are they doing? Look! This is my father. What is he doing?
S:He is reading.
T:This is my mother. What is she doing?
S:She is watching TV.
T:What about my brother? What is he doing?
S:He is playing computer games.
【由I like...ing.自然地過渡到I am...ing.教師從自己的生活入手,激發(fā)學生的好奇心,并通過Guessing game,讓學生初步感知和理解現(xiàn)在進行時,并能簡單運用?!?/p>
Step 3 While-reading
1.T:Now I think you know something about me. What do you know about Mike?
(學生通過課件中的圖片,回憶關于Mike的相關信息,板書貼出Mike的家庭成員)
2.Watch and choose.
T:Today Mike is going to tell us something. What is he going to tell us? Is he going to tell us his hobbies or family life?
Ss watch the cartoon, then choose Family life.
教授單詞:parents
揭題:Today our topic is helping our parents.
【教師通過看卡通選答案的方式,激發(fā)學生的興趣,幫助學生整體感知文本,點明本課的主題,并為進一步學習和理解文本做準備?!?/p>
3.Think and guess.
Ss try to guess what are Mikes family doing?
【結合文本內(nèi)容,對現(xiàn)在進行時的基本用法進行進一步操練,這樣學生對其結構特點會更加熟悉,以便后面可以自然地運用?!?/p>
4.Part 1.
Read and match.
T:In the morning, what are they doing?(板書:In the morning)Take out your paper. Read and match.
Tip: If you dont know the meaning of the new words, what can you do?
Ss:I / We can...
T:You can guess according to the pictures.
(學生自讀課文第一段,看圖,將人物與所做的事情連線)
【文本中的插圖生動、形象,反映著文本內(nèi)容,于是筆者充分利用插圖這一寶貴資源,教會學生在讀圖的過程中捕捉相關信息,為深入理解文本做好鋪墊。】
Check the answer.
T:What is Mikes father doing? Which one is right?
S:Clean the car.
T:How do you know? Lets underline the sentence: My father is cleaning the car.(Teach: clean—clean the car—cleaning the car)(貼板書: cleaning the car)
Who can read the sentence?
S:My father is cleaning the car.
T:What about Mikes mother? What is she doing?endprint
Ss find the sentence and read: My mother is cooking breakfast in the kitchen.
T:Look at this sentence.
The cook( ) is cooking( ).
A. 烹飪 B. 廚師
Ss read and choose.
T:What is Mike doing?
S:He is cleaning the car.(My father is cleaning the car. I am helping him.)
T:What about Helen?
S:She is sweeping the floor.(Helen is in the living room. She is sweeping the floor.)
T:What is Tim doing?
S:Tim is in his bedroom. He is sleeping. Ben the dog is sleeping too.
(在此過程中,教師板書相應的詞組)
【教師引導學生學習文本的第一段,教給學生閱讀的方法和技巧,初步考查學生對文本的理解情況。通過讀一讀、看一看、連一連、說一說的活動,學生感知、學習和操練所學短語和句型。因為調(diào)動了學生的多種感官,學習難度得到降低?!?/p>
Think and answer.
T:Is Tim helping his parents?Why?
【這個問題讓學生對文本第一段再次進行快速梳理,后面的一個追問可以打開學生的思路,同時滲透對學生的情感教育?!?/p>
5.Part 2、3.
Look and choose.
T:They are so busy in the morning. In the afternoon, what are they doing?(板書: In the afternoon)
Look at the pictures and choose.
Helen is .Mike is .
Mum is .Tim is .
A. cooking dinner B.cleaning the table
C.washing the dishes D.eating fruit
E.watching TV
Tip: If you cant read the new words, what can you do?
Ss:I / We can...
T:You can ask your partners for help.
Ss look at the pictures and choose.
Read, talk and check.
Teach: wash, dish, wash the dishes, busy
(在此過程中請學生板書相應的詞組)
Think and answer
T:Is Tim helping his parents in the afternoon?Why?
Guess and say
T:In the afternoon, where is Mikes dad? What is he doing?
【授人以魚,不如授人以漁。教師引導學生自學文本后面兩段,用以舊帶新的方法教會學生認讀新單詞。學生運用學到的閱讀策略,通過選擇、貼圖、閱讀,進一步理解文本。學生獲得的不僅僅是語言知識,同時還可以掌握一定的閱讀技巧,增強自信心。在猜測Mike爸爸行蹤的過程中,學生思維被激活,可以進一步鞏固所學知識?!?/p>
6.Think and say.
T:Family is very important for everyone. We should help each other. To help our parents, what can we do?
【教師帶領學生從文本回到生活,引導學生體會幫助別人的快樂,鼓勵學生在家里幫助父母做家務,在學校里和老師、同學一起維持校園環(huán)境的整潔?!?/p>
Step 4 Post-reading
1.Listen and repeat.
2.Retell the story.
In the morning, Mikes father is cleaning the car. Mike is...(引導學生看板書復述課文)
Retell in groups of four, retell together or one by one.
3.Lets imagine.
On Sunday, what are they doing?
【以上教學,學生經(jīng)歷了從感知理解語言到模仿操練語言,再到嘗試運用語言的過程,而最后的任務可以充分調(diào)動學生的情感、生活經(jīng)驗和語言積累,培養(yǎng)學生的想象力,促進學生綜合語言運用能力的發(fā)展?!?/p>
Step 5 Homework
1.Listen and repeat, then retell the story.
2.Help your parents do housework, take some pictures and write a diary.
【教師布置開放性的作業(yè),調(diào)動學生的多種感官,學生動手動口又動腦,體驗學習英語的樂趣,建立寫作的信心,同時感受勞動的快樂?!俊?(作者單位:江蘇省建湖縣實驗小學)endprint
