A social survey--- My neighborhood教学反思

英语组 刘晓彦

本节课虽然精心设计，但在不同班级却效果截然不同。仔细回顾各个环节，今后的教学应该在下面几个方面做以改进。

应该打破英语课堂中的沉默。英语课堂上的现状是老师依然是主角，课堂气氛沉闷，师生互动少。这种沉默现象是一种消极行为，它不利于教学活动的展开。因此，英语教学要打破课堂中的沉默，激发学生学习英语的兴趣，提高学生对这门语言的综合运用能力。英语课堂学生沉默原因分析: 1、教师原因

教师课堂内容不新颖，拿着教师用书照本宣科，按部就班地讲解，这种枯燥乏味的以“教师为中心”的授课方式使学生在课堂上沉默不语。这种教学模式也在很大程度上剥夺了学生参与课堂实践的机会，挫伤了学生学习英语的主动性和积极性。教师的提问技巧对学生的在课堂中的沉默也有一定的影响。有时教师提出的问题过于难，超出了学生的实际水平，使他们无法回答，只能保持沉默；有时教师的提问过于简单，不值得回答；有时给学生准备的时间不足，没有给学生足够的等待时间，看到学生沉默一两秒后不是请其他学生回答问题就是直接说出答案。

2、学生原因

长期以来，学生已经完全适应了填鸭式的教学模式，认为教师就是课堂的主角，而他们学生的任务就是听听课，记记笔记。因此，在课堂上沉默不语。性格因素也是影响外语学习的重要情感因素之一。我们通过观察发现：自信、外向、独立、认真、负责等因素有利于学好外语，而胆怯、内向、腼腆、被动、担心、紧张等因素则不利于外语学习。一般来说，性格外向活泼、充满自信的学生，其外语表达能力都优于性格内向、羞涩的学生；性格内向的学生通常不喜欢表现自己，也不善于表达自己的想法。在课堂上，他们往往选择沉默，不愿开口。也有一部分学生不愿意发言是因为信心不足，觉得自己的英语水平不高，口语差，害怕站起来说错引起同学们的嘲笑。因此，他们也会选择沉默。

打破课堂沉默的策略：保持课堂内容的新颖，激发学生学习英语的兴趣。

在英语教学的实践中，我们不难发现，渴望了解大洋彼岸的世界是学生好奇心理的一个突出表现。他们总是对异国文化与习俗充满了兴趣与好奇，一讲到异域文化，他们的眼神中就充满了求知的欲望，

所以教师在适当的时候要有意识地把西方国家的政治、文化、风土人情、风俗习惯等知识渗透到英语教学中来，这样既培养了学生的跨文化意识，又满足了学生的好奇心理与求知欲望，也使课堂内容的新颖，同时活跃了课堂气氛，激发了学生学习英语的兴趣。

在词汇、短语的讲解过程中，教师要突出重点、难点，举例要新颖。除了引用一些词典上的外，还可以和时事政治联系起来，学生对这个非常感兴趣。有了兴趣，学生们才愿意参与到课堂互动中来，才能打破沉默，课堂气氛才会活跃.与学生交流，了解学生的需求，拉近师生间的心理距离。耐心、真诚、平等地对待每一位学生。多给学生一些鼓励表扬，不当众点名批评学生，去除学生心目中对教师的敬畏感，营造一个轻松愉快的课堂学习氛围。

3、

注意提问技巧

把握问题的难易程度。教师应清楚的了解自己学生的实际水平，提出的问题要适合学生的思维发展水平。不能太难，也不能太容易。问题太难的话，学生会感到困难重重，没有信心。问题太容易的话就会失去回答的意义。让他们感受到只要“跳一跳就能摘到果子”，多给学生回答的机会，让学生参与到教学实践中来。分析并设计提问对象。事实上，基础较差的学生放弃英语学习主要是因为得不到教师的关注，不能得到教师和同学们的认可。因此选取提问对象非常关键。老师应让水平不同的学生都有机会得到锻炼。在选取提问对象时，要优先考虑主动积极参与的学生，不能忽视已经举手的学生，更不能忽视那些从没有主动举手回答而此次跃跃欲试的学生。灵活把握等待回答的时间。在英语课堂上，不少老师不愿或提问很少，有的老师自问自答，原因之一就是认为有的同学回答时支支吾吾，会浪费教学时间。实际上，教师此时若能以耐心的态度延长一点等待的时间，加之以适当的暗示，效果可能会更好。给每一个学生平等参与教学活动的机会，学生可能会从拾学习英语的积极性，主动性建立适当的反馈机制。教师要客观的、公正的，个性化的点评学生的回答。要少批评，多鼓励，忌讽刺挖苦；要谨慎对待纠错，避免挫伤学生的自尊心和学习积极性。

在今后的教学中我力争更好地把握每个环节，给予学生更多的展示空间。同时还应该不断反思，改进自己的教学。
