農村中學英語研究性學習初探

1. 創設情境，確定課題

高中英語教材Module 5 Unit 5 “First aid”以急救為中心話題，旨在使學生了解相關的急救知識，并能運用所學知識，根據不同的情況采取相應的措施。正所謂意外無處不在，農村中學生日常生活經歷的意外事故包括被水燙傷、被狗咬傷、被刀割傷等，但是他們對于如何進行急救卻知之甚少。上課伊始我問學生：“Have you ever got burnt by hot water? Have you ever bitten by a dog or a snake? What would you do if you find a person whose leg is bleeding? What would you do if you witness a traffic accident? What would you do if you see a person whose skin gets burnt? ”學生給出了多樣的答案，我引導他們總結這單元的研究課題是“How to give first aids when accidents happen”.

2. 調查研討，合作學習

確定課題后，我指導學生分組進行問卷調查。我們一起設計了一份問卷調查表（見右）：

每個學生明確了各人的職責，然后分頭行動，進行調查研究，由各組組長統計總結調查結果。整理數據后我再讓他們通過上網或到圖書館查找相關資料，找出各種情形下應采取的急救措施，然后再由各組選派一位同學用英語寫一份結題報告。

3. 課堂匯報，總結提高

第一組學生代表匯報如下：“According to our survey， about ten percent of the respondents have ever got burnt by hot water or steam. Two persons even have burnt seriously because of not knowing anything about first aids. If this happens to you or someone else around you， put the burnt areas under the tap for a few minutes if the burnt areas are not serious. Or cover the burnt areas with cool clean cloth. If the burnt areas are too serious， send the victim to hospital at once. ”

第二組的學生作了關于割傷出血的急救報告：“If someone is bleeding， stop bleeding using a bandage or a tape quickly. If it bleeds too seriously， you can use pressing way or send the victim to hospital at once.”

第四組的學生對“Dog bites”的匯報出乎我的意料：“When you got bitten by a dog， press the infected blood out of the skin as quickly as possible. Clean the bitten area and go to the hospital if necessary. But we can avoid being bitten by dogs. When you meet with a dog and the dog is barking to you， don’t be afraid， just keep calm and stop running. I think the dog will not bite you if you keep still. But if you run， the dog will run after you and bite you.”這一匯報完全來自生活實踐，許多學生都有這方面的經驗。我看到學生已經有了自己的思維和想法，有了創新精神。
