首页 英语索途:一位英语教师的求索之路

四、育人功能在文本读写中渗透

字体:16+-

教师如果在教学中利用文本挖掘素材,延伸话题让学生创编故事,提炼主题,融会知识,贴近生活,活用知识,在于情于理、情景交融的语言学习环境中去构思情节,活用词句生成语篇,就可以使学生活化知识、生成技能,从而激发学生的语言潜能,使其将生活背景融入其中,让思维驰骋,学以致用,让学生在获得语言的学习价值的同时,也能收获语言的育人价值。

人教版高中英语教师用书在教材使用说明中指出:“教师应从实际出发,灵活而又有创造性地使用教科书。”的确,教师不是“教教材”,而是“用教材”。教师要从学生的实际需要和语言知识结构出发,灵活而又有创造性地使用教材,使教材真正为我所用。另外,教师要从教材所提供的文化背景角度出发,培养学生的人文素养和思维品质。例如,选修八“Unit 4 Pygmalion”涉及一则希腊神话故事。在学习《皮格马利翁》剧情时,学生扮演剧中人物,朗读人物对话及剧情独白,营造绘声绘色的语境,结合故事背景、故事情节,复述剧情,呈现剧情中的人文素材。接着,学生围绕“皮格马利翁效应”的短文内容,根据写作要点,拓展思维空间,进行写作。

读写任务:阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Pygmalion,a sculptor and prince of Cyprus,created an ivory statue of his ideal woman.As a result,Galatea he called was so beautiful that he immediately fell in love with it.He begged the goddess Aphrodite to breathe life into the statue and make her his own.Aphrodite granted Pygmalion his wish,the statue came to life and the couple married and lived happily ever after.

The story was also the basis of George Bernard Shaw's play“Pygmalion”.In Shaw's play,Professor Henry Higgins claims he can take a Cockney flower girl,Eliza Doolittle,and turn her into a duchess.But,as Eliza herself points out to Higgins' friend Pickering,it isn't what she learns or does that determines whether she will become a duchess,but how she's treated.
