Using LanguageⅡ特级教师教学实录

A letter of application写作课教学设计

设计人：广东北江中学

林菲

课题：申请信写作指导

教学课型：Writing 设计理念：“申请/求职信写作”一课倡导普通高中英语课程标准理念下的合作学习。根据《英语课程标准》的指导思想,英语课程改革的重点是要改变传统教学过分重视语法和词汇知识的讲解与传授（即忽视对学生实际语言运用能力的培养的倾向），强调课程从学生的学习兴趣和认知水平出发，倡导学生体验参与、合作与交流的学习方式和“任务型”的教学模式，由学生共同努力来实现教学目标。教师要引导学生利用所学语言来完成任务，促进学生运用所学外语获取信息，处理信息，使用信息与人交流，提高合作意识，培养合作精神，从而实现学生的主体地位，发展学生的综合语言运用能力。

一、教学对象分析

教学对象为高中三年级普通平行班学生。虽然英语基础一般，但是大部分学生的思维活动、学习热情、表现欲望和合作精神还是可以在平时的教学中不断提高和培养的。根据这些特点，笔者特别注重通过任务型课堂活动和学习，使学生的学习自主性得到加强，不再认为英语的课堂学习很枯燥，而是主动参与到活动中去，成为课堂的主体，同时也加强了与他人交流合作的能力。不过，本班学生的水平参差不齐，有些差距还相当大。因此在教学过程中，布置的任务要兼顾各个层次的学生，使他们都有所收获。

二、教学内容分析

英语高考全国卷的写作多考查应用文，其中2015年高考陕西卷就要求写一封志愿者的应征邮件，2012年全国卷的写作内容为申请参加夏令营。这种类型的写作是学生必须掌握的文体之一。为了帮助学生完成写作任务，教师先引导学生学习一篇范文，引导学生分析文体，运用思维导图启发学生关注语篇组织模式，揣摩其中的遣词造句，最后运用教师提供的评价标准师生、生生互评。这样的写作教学充分搭建脚手架，使学生能顺利仿写，比较符学生的实际。

六、教学反思

本节写作课打破传统的作文授课形式，建构新课程下英语作文训练中采用读写结合、以读促写的方式，从阅读材料中挖掘写作素材，借鉴其中的美词、佳句和篇章结构，为写作搭建支架，从而有效激发学生的写作积极性，形成新课程下英语有效作文教学的分析框架和策略体系，逐步实现“阅读—感受—唤醒—表达—提升”的教学效果。

设计的活动极大调动了学生参与的积极性，给了学生一个发挥想象力的空间和一个展示自我风采的舞台，把学生真正放在“教学主体”的位置上。同时也注意培养了学生的团队合作意识，如pair work和group work分工明确并考虑到学生思维活动的层次，都能有效地展开并且有较好产出。但有些教学细节还有更精挑细作，如：各个活动的时间要更准确，对学生的表现的客观的形成性评价要更到位等。我相信不断的积累和反思是我教学的一笔笔宝贵财富和不断进步的阶梯。
