Listening and speaking 课后反思

灵武英才学校

祁国佑

本节课是必修2 Unit 3 Computers 的Listening and speaking 部分。该单元以Computers 为话题，通过读、听、说、写等活动，使学生了解计算机和信息技术的产生发展过程及在生活中的运用，激发学生对信息技术的兴趣，并学习相关的语言项目和发展语言能力。

Listening and speaking属于Using language 部分的内容。教材设计的内容为听两个关于不同形式IT的对话，就对话的内容进行讨论并做出结论。语言材料本身对学生的障碍不是很大，所以，本节课的学习目标设定为：1. 能听懂对话的大意并获取所要求的细节；2. 用教材中所给的结构表达自己的理由并做出结论。从上课学生完成任务的效果和课后的调查看，这两个目标是科学的，但就该单元的话题，应该把激发学生对IT的兴趣也作为目标之一。人教版教材该单元内容已现老旧，学生对IT的了解也早超出了本单元教材所呈现的内容，所以该目标更准确地应该确定为：了解有关IT术语的英语表达；同时，在内容上做相应的补充

, 以引导学生考虑在人工智能后What’s next ? 这一问题。

Listening 部分的两个对话就内容本身而言内容过于陈旧，就目前关于IT的定义而言，有些说法是不准确的。所以在读前的第一个活动中，增加了目前很流行的有关IT的内容。听的活动则只是忠于录音，通过听前和听中两个活动训练学生听的能力。教材在Speaking 部分提供了一些表达推理和做出决定的结构，其中“Let’s make a decision ” 是很不常用或汉化的表达，所以删去。而关于做出决定的英语表达学生会自然地用“I agree with you” 或语气词完成相应的交际任务，不应该作为一个语言项目而在教学内容中出现，而是作为一个交际策略出现，是学生speaking 活动的训练内容之一。

若把学生上课speaking 任务的完成情况的表现作为一个考量的标准，说的内容过于单一化，应该增加更丰富的英语表达，使学生真正地用英语表达自我，进行交流。为了提高教学的有效性，人教版的教材必须尽快更新。这样，就能在教材中提供丰富的内容，减轻一线老师的压力，促进英语教学的发展。

整节课的过程显得过于流畅，实际上是和学生的有效交流较少，课堂上老师对学生的活动高度控制，学生针对本节课的reasoning 真正自由训练不足。有两处可以改进：句子结构替换练习部分加一个训练环节，提供给学生一定的场景信息，激发学生用下面结构尽量真实地交流：

The advantage of … is that …

The disadvantage of … is that…

Since

we all get most of our knowledge from books ,I think

books are the best way of getting information . 最后的讨论环节可以设计成更有趣的interview活动，并要求学生最后报告本组的讨论结。，

总之，听说教学中，要加大教材的整合力度，最大可能地使学生进入用英语思维的学习状态中，课堂任务的设计要更精心，以提高学生的认同和参与度。
