淺談教材閱讀語篇講解
新教材各單元的主要閱讀語篇,題材和體裁多種多樣,從高一(上)到高三(下),閱讀語篇的長度遞增,從300-400字增至700-800字。這些課文載有該單元有關(guān)主題的重要信息,還呈現(xiàn)了其中大部份的詞匯和主要的語法結(jié)構(gòu)。在教學中,我將閱讀課文作為整體來處理,運用各種方法理解課文,提高學生閱讀技能。一、詞匯的學習
是否能記住單詞是高中學生學好英語的關(guān)鍵。我們知道,學英語要有良好方法才能獲得良好效果,當然,記憶單詞和短語也要有良好方法才能記得牢固,甚至永不遺忘。那么教師應(yīng)怎樣教單詞,學生應(yīng)怎樣記單詞才會有更好的效果呢?本人根據(jù)多年的教學實踐探索,就如何進行詞匯教學及如何指導學生詞匯學習兩方面談?wù)勛约旱囊恍┳龇ā?nbsp;
1.利用構(gòu)詞法教新詞
英語構(gòu)詞法有三種基本形式,即合成(compounding),轉(zhuǎn)換(conversion),和派生(derivation)比如學習school通過合成可以進一步學到schoolmate (同學),schoolroom(教室),school-house(校舍),schoolboy (girl )(男,女生),schoolbook(教科書),schoolmaster (男教員),schoolmistress(女教員),schooltime (上課時間),schoolage (學齡),schoolday (求學時代)等。
在英語中有大量動詞可轉(zhuǎn)化為名詞,其意思變化不大。如look, try, swim, quarrel, fight, dream等。又有相當多的名詞可以用作動詞,有許多表示物件的名詞可以用作動詞來表示動作。如picture, pencil, water, flower, hand, bottle, pocket等。學生掌握了這些基本詞類轉(zhuǎn)換之后,對句子I like a quiet read after supper.和I hope we can room together中的read和room就不難理解其意思了。
一般說來英語詞匯的結(jié)構(gòu),除詞根外,基本上是由詞根加前綴或后綴構(gòu)成。有些單詞同時可加前綴和后綴形式。詞根表示詞的基本詞意,前綴和后綴表示詞的附加詞匯意義或語法意義。比如:honor(榮譽,尊重)加前綴構(gòu)成dishonor, 加后綴構(gòu)成honorable, honor的前綴構(gòu)成與詞根相反的意義(恥辱),后綴又賦予它由名詞變成形容詞,副詞的語法意義。又如act(行動v. 行為n.)是詞根,可以加后綴派生出其它詞匯,actor(男演員),actress(女演員),action(行為,做法),acting(代理的,演技)。學生利用詞頭詞尾的學習不但能很快地推斷出其讀音,詞性和詞義,而且迅速擴大詞匯量,提高學單詞的興趣和信心,輕而易舉地學會并牢記這一新詞,形成了以舊帶新,以新聯(lián)舊,相互滲透的良好記憶循環(huán)。
2.形、音、義相結(jié)合教新詞
備課時要側(cè)重備些新詞與舊詞在形,音,義上的聯(lián)系,上課時特別要鼓勵學生發(fā)現(xiàn)詞典,課本,參考書上沒有提到的聯(lián)系,發(fā)現(xiàn)一個詞與其他詞的多種多樣的聯(lián)系。例如:airport=air+port,understand= under+stand,telephone=tele+phone,television=tele+vision, kilometer=kilo+metre,headache=head+ache,headline=head+line,這組詞在意義上都有聯(lián)系。又如:care — careful — carefully — careless — carelessly — carelessness, 的結(jié)構(gòu)聯(lián)系有同前綴,同詞根的聯(lián)系等幾個基本方面。及時地講授基本英語構(gòu)詞知識,學生不但可以較快地記 use—useful—usefully—useless—uselessly—uselessness,這兩組都是同詞根的詞。
3.結(jié)合課文,詞組,句子教新詞。
“詞不離句,句不離文”,這是前人教單詞的經(jīng)驗之談。只有把單詞連成句子,并聯(lián)成話語才能實現(xiàn)其交際功能,達到表達思想,交流感情的目的。也可將一些詞組,句子組成對話,有情景,有意義,學生易學易記,還能促進學生學習英語的興趣。還可結(jié)合課文的內(nèi)容設(shè)置一些問題,該課的生詞可包括在問題之中,也可包括在問題的答案中。例如:
desert—Camels are usually regarded as “ boats in the desert.”
pour—Take an umbrella. It’s pouring down outside.
present—Every guest who is present at the dance will get a beautiful present.
cause—One of the causes of the accident was poor management.
pollute, pollution —What is the most serious pollution in our city ?
—Air pollution. The smokes from the cars pollute the air.
4.用英語解釋教新詞
用學生學過的舊詞來引導新詞,解釋新詞,例如:attend: to be present at or to go to ;divide: to cause to separate;shoot: to fire,to hit,to wound or to kill with a gun;form: to take or make into a shape;include: to contain or to have as a part等。有時可先給出一個新詞英文釋義,讓學生來猜新詞, 這樣既復習舊詞,又提高學生的英語思維能力。
5.通過語境教新詞
語境(context)可以展示詞語的具體用法以及它們的搭配。通過語境學習詞匯可以大大提高學習效率。眾所周知,離開語境,很多詞的意義便含糊不清。如a sweet temper 中的sweet 常含有g(shù)entle的意思,而在the sweet smell of roses中的sweet卻表示light pleasant或fragrant。由于英語中有些詞匯意義不止一個,就會產(chǎn)生歧義。例如I live near the bank,既可理解I live near the riverside,也可理解為I live near the establishment for the deposit of money。
6.通過文化背景教新詞
有些詞義問題往往是文化問題,也是思維方式問題。詞匯教學要引導學生由意義到文化,由文化到思想,指導學生掌握詞義演變的規(guī)律,學生便會對詞匯學習產(chǎn)生興趣。例如:China(中國);china(瓷器);drive(驅(qū),趕,駕駛);see(看見,明白,懂得);Indian(印度人,印第安人);ring(環(huán),圈,戒指,鈴響,打電話);settle(停留,安家,定居,解決);power(力量,動力,電力,權(quán)力,政權(quán));meet one’s Waterloo如果知道這個詞組的典故就不難記住。十九世紀初拿破侖稱雄歐洲一時,最后終于戰(zhàn)敗于比利時的滑鐵盧,后來人們將“遇到滑鐵盧之戰(zhàn)”喻為“慘遭失敗”。
二、閱讀的引入
俗話說:“良好的開端是成功的一半!币惶谜n如果引入得當,能直接吸引學生,極大地調(diào)動學生的積極性,課堂氣氛也變得輕松活潑,課堂效率也會得到提高。導入時要盡可能使學生主動參與,為整節(jié)課作好開路先鋒。導入手段多種多樣,可通過文中插圖,問答、討論的形式,也可通過各種教學媒體,如直觀導入。講“Earthquake”時,可找與此有關(guān)的錄像或VCD片斷,通過放映,讓學生感受地震時人們的心情及地震所造成的災(zāi)難。在“Charlie Chaplin”時也可用此方法,達到事半功倍的效果。當然,也可以通過音樂欣賞,背景知識等等作為引入。
三、閱讀課的教學
我通常將閱讀作為整體來教學,一篇閱讀課分為兩課時進行,第一課時進行閱讀,第二課時講解及練習。
(一)閱讀課時
閱讀課通常采用“三遍閱讀法”:即第一遍簡單問題,可通過快速閱讀進行,問題可能是判斷,也可能是問題或找主題句。第二遍難度中等,如細節(jié)問題,段落主題句,詞義推敲等。第三遍較難問題,如主旨大意,推斷題,復述等。2005年高考題型增加了填空題,因此復述課文顯得很重要。復述可采用key words , 問題式或填空式等。另外,根據(jù)文章的難易程度及文章的體裁,我對課文閱讀處理分為兩種:
第一種,“長難句-細節(jié)題-主旨大意” 。文章較難,學生在閱讀中可能長難句較多,生詞較多,以理解或不太熟悉的科普文章等,或敘述性文章。以課文We are what we eat 為例,這篇課文對學生難度較大,我分四步進行:
1. 從標題入手,要求學生預(yù)測語篇內(nèi)容。
2. 閱讀語篇,了解主要內(nèi)容并找出自己的長難句,師生共同解決,這一步完成之后,文章難度降低。
3. 細節(jié)題處理。如⑴ “What do the words ‘fuel’ and ‘green’ mean? ”
⑵ “ Can you find any other words to replace them?”
⑶ According to the passage, the 21st –century person should ____.
A. not be too careful with his food
B. have a healthy and balanced diet
C. be changing his eating habits all the time
D. keep his traditional diets and eating habits
⑷In the text, vegans are people who _____.
A. prefer traditional diets
B. have good eating habits
C. prefer organic vegetables
D. eat no animal products
4.要求學生找出各段的主題句并以此為脈絡(luò)復述課文。
Para1 We’d better learn to make the right choices about what and how we eat .
Para2 We’d better think if the food will give us the nutrients when making right choices.
Para3 Many people make choices based on what they believe .
Para4 We should buy good food and keep a balanced diet when making choices.
Para5 In a word , the best way is to develop healthy eating habits.
主題句找到后,學生對本文脈絡(luò)清楚,關(guān)上書作復述也簡單了,并且輸入語言到頭腦中了。第二種,“主旨大意-細節(jié)題-長難句”。說明文、議論文體裁或段落主題句較明顯的可采用 ?勺寣W生整體粗讀,領(lǐng)略文章大意,培養(yǎng)學生找出主題句,抓住中心,從而整體理解的能力。有相當多的英語文章講究使用主題段和主題句,且主題段通常在文章開頭,簡要概括文章的中心意思;主題句可能在一段文章的開頭,中間,也可能在末尾,要求學生能快速找出,做到“先見林后見木”,并以此為文脈,了解文章細節(jié)。長難句的處理采取討論式和教師主講式,由學生提出問題,學生討論或?qū)W生講解等,教師補充。
以The birth of a festival為例: ⑴ 閱讀第一遍,讓學生掌握文篇的“general ideas”或“What have we learned about- kwanzaa after reading ?”
⑵ 閱讀第二遍。了解文章細節(jié),可采用表格作歸納。Name,Date,Meaning,Principles,Symbol Celebration。
⑶閱讀第三遍,與學生共同處理長難句,可討論,可個別翻譯,解決閱讀中理解句子的問題,帶動差生讀懂文章。
(二)講解語言點及練習
這堂課的重點是對課文的詞匯、短語、句型及優(yōu)美句式進行整理記憶并學會使用。在講解語言點時,我盡可能突出“重中之重”。講解點不要過多。盡可能4個點之內(nèi),然后要求學生用紅筆將重要短語,句型勾劃出,并給10分鐘左右的時間進行課堂記憶,剩余時間盡可能給學生練習。練習選取一些與講解語言點、短語等句型有關(guān)的單選,單句改錯,單句翻譯、單詞拼寫等進行基礎(chǔ)鞏固練習。課后補充閱讀材料進行能力提升的訓練。以The birth of a festival一文為例:
講解⑴ would do sth. 過去常常做……(與現(xiàn)在無關(guān))聯(lián)系used to do sth. 過去常常做……(與現(xiàn)在有關(guān),意味這種行為現(xiàn)在已不存在)
e.g. He would come to my home for help when he had any trouble.
He used to be a teacher.
He used to get up late, but now gets up very early.
⑵ dress up (as)
聯(lián)系wear, be in , have on , be dressed in , put on
e.g. We dressed up for the wedding.
He dressed up as a policeman.
dress sb./ oneslf up 把某人(自己)打扮起來,給某人()穿上衣服,
注意:dress + sb.
⑶ take in
He had nowhere to go, so I took him in(收容,留宿).
She didn’t take in what I said(理解,體會,了解).
She was not easily taken in(蒙騙,欺騙).
The tour takes in some famous places(包含,包括).
⑷ do as much / as sb. can(do) to do… do everything /anything /all sb. can(do) to do… do what sb. can(do)to do…to do…作目的狀語。
He will drive as carefully as he can to avoid any accidents.
He run as fast as he could in the race and finally won the first place.
勾劃課文短語如:
⑴ greet the new year and think about the past
⑵ a seven-day festival
⑶ build one’s life
⑷ honor our ancestors
⑸ commercial activities
⑹ enjoy a large meal
⑺ in honor of
⑻ celebrate a festival
⑼ get together
⑽ a lighted candle
勾劃句子:文中有些句子結(jié)構(gòu)對稱,意義深刻,可指導學生背誦并懂得這些表達法:
⑴ The week following Christmas Day ,man is African-American families get together to greet …
⑵ The festivals were a way to celebrate history and culture ,a way to build a society,…
⑶ We must do as much as we can to make our community better…
⑷ Festivals help us understand who we are,…

總之,在閱讀教學中,盡可能根據(jù)文章及學生的實際靈活使用教學方法,堅持整體教學,廣泛閱讀,掌握一定的閱讀技巧,努力提高閱讀的能力及速度。
