結(jié)合剛學習的一般過去時,我請學生對我的周末生活自由發(fā)問,順勢復習了五個“W”(即what,where,how,when,who等引導的過去時問句),學生除了會用特殊疑問來提問,還用了“Did you…? Were you…?”等,大腦中迅速激活了過去時的圖式及疑問詞的用法。學生一邊發(fā)問,我一邊貼出相關(guān)的特殊疑問詞,要求學生概括出主要內(nèi)容,初步形成語篇。
T: I didn’t teach you English last Friday.I had a busy and tired weekend.Do you want to know something? You can ask me,please.
S1:Where did you go last weekend?
T: I went to Foshan.
S2: What’s Foshan like? What did you do there?
T: Great! I studied English there.And Foshan is nice and clean.It is a city like Dongguan.But there are many motorcycles on the roads there.
S3: How did you go there?
S4: How long did you stay there?
我展示四個地方的圖片,讓學生給意見,說說五一假期將要去哪里及其理由。
T: May Day holiday is coming.Where am I going? Do you have any ideas?
S1: You can go to Hong Kong.Because it’s near.There is a train station here.You can go by train.
S2: Are you going to Beijing? Because you can eat good food in Beijing.Peking duck is very tasty!
S3: I think you are going to Hangzhou.You are going to row a boat.
T: May Day holiday is short.I can’t go out for a long time.I think I am going to Hong Kong.I am going to visit the Ocean Park there.
接下來引入新課:I have a friend,Mike.Where is he going on his holiday? Is he going to Hong Kong,too?播放錄音,感知整個語篇,進一步激活一般將來時的圖式。在回答的過程中,不少學生說漏了be動詞或是漏了to。我利用圖片及語言解釋stone forest和folk dances讓學生掃清閱讀障礙。
T:Look at the picture.Is there a forest in it? No,there are many stones there.That’s why we call it “Stone Forest”.Look at the people,they wear folk clothes.They are dancing.We call it “folk dances”.
我板書where,what,who,when,how讓學生回答課文五個問題。這一環(huán)節(jié)可以充分利用四人小組的合作,重點訓練如何去問。一個同學問,另外幾個同學回答。問題大概如下:Where is Mike going on his holiday?What is he going to do there? Who is he going with? When is he going?How is he going? 學生進一步熟悉文本,填寫Mike’s Trip Plan.接下來跟錄音細讀,模仿磁帶中的聲音,有利于學生形成良好的語音語調(diào)。然后結(jié)對朗讀,角色扮演,培養(yǎng)合作能力,利用同伴壓力激發(fā)學習熱情,充分理解,捕捉文本的關(guān)鍵信息。
我設計了挖空短文,請學生填寫。這篇短文以文本為中心,也可以因復習或?qū)懽餍枰?,適當換寫人稱,為后面的寫作環(huán)節(jié)提供了一篇很好的范文。
接下來,我乘勝追擊,請學生在組內(nèi)展示事先收集好的地方圖片或明信片,激發(fā)同伴之間交流的欲望。交流結(jié)束,學生簡單規(guī)劃自己的旅游計劃。學生以表格內(nèi)容為提綱完成書面表達“My May Day Plan”.通過原有話題簡述基礎(chǔ)上的分析、拓展、總結(jié),學生在動手寫作之前已有足夠的信息源,90%的學生都能順利寫出質(zhì)量較高的短文。一些基礎(chǔ)薄弱的學生原本放棄書面表達,現(xiàn)在借助表格,也能用只言片語表述自己的想法了。
