小學英語課程標準中的一個重要指標,就是將讀寫技能寫入一、二級的教學目標,從而明確了英語教學中小學生練筆能力培養的重要性。的確,學生在寫的過程中與文本進行著深層次的對話,精神生命不斷得到新生。這些言語實踐所帶來的欣喜,定會令英語課堂充滿生命的活力。
一、于仿寫中釋放心靈
《牛津小學英語》中的文本,結構獨特、故事性強。教師要引領學生細讀文字,感悟其中蘊含的情感,模仿重點句型的寫作方法,從而內化語言。筆者在教5B《A Telephone call 》時,見一名學生臉色蒼白,顯得有些痛苦,忙關切地問:What’s wrong with you?他告訴我感冒了,我順勢引導學生學習: I’m ill. I’ve got a cold.接下來我做出各種病態,讓學生在情境中學習I’ve got…并且適時引導學生深表同情地說:I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you get better soon.課臨近尾聲時,我讓學生將今天的事寫下來,寫出你對生病同學的關切。學生以Part A為依托,筆尖流淌出一串串精彩的句子:
Liu Tao/Wang Bing/Helen: What’s wrong with you?
Su Yang: I’ve got a cough.
Liu Tao: I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you get better soon.
Wang Bing: Don’t worry. Take some medicine.
Helen: Go and see a doctor. You’ll be OK.
二、于補白中馳騁想象
英語教學是門藝術,如果教師有一雙慧眼,在這些令人遐想的“空白”之處引導學生去探究,去補白,那么我們的英語課堂將會動靜相生,張馳有度,個性飛揚。
Task 1:讓學生續寫文本。假設Jim在公交車上拾到CD Walkman后,由于著急下車沒有交給司機,后來想起這事,他和媽媽趕到派出所,并把東西交給警察,嘗試讓學生寫出Jim與警察的對話。
Jim: This morning,I was at the back of the bus. I saw a CD Walkman in front of me .And then I picked it up,but I fogot to give it to the loser.
Policeman: Whose CD Walkman is it?
Jim: I don’t know.Would you like to help me?
Policeman:Yes, I’d like to.
Task2:讓學生改寫文本。假設公交車上人很多,Jim在車上拾到CD Walkman后,開始詢問失主,最后竟然找到了失主。
This morning,Mum and I went to the supermarket by bus.We sat at the back of the bus. Suddendly I saw a CD Walkman in front of me .And then I picked it up, I shouted:“ Whose CD Walkman is it?” Nobody answered.I asked the man :“Is this CD Walkman yours? ”
“No, it’s not mine. Perhaps it’s hers.”He pointed to the woman beside him.
“Is this your CD Walkman?” I asked the woman.
“Yes ,it is.Thank you.”
“Not at all. ”
三、于爭論中放飛思維
課堂上的“爭論”能引發學生獨立思考,思維向文章更深處漫溯。
《牛津小學英語》6B《Who is younger?》Part A中這樣寫道:Who’s Jimmy? That’s Jack’s dog. My Mum says Jimmy is also her child.課堂上我向學生提出這樣一個問題:Does Jimmy have any brothers or sisters?
S:Yes!/No!我抓住這個課堂上的生成點,叫學生拿起筆亮出自己的觀點。
S1: No, he doesn’t. Because Jimmy is a dog. Dog can’t be Jack’s brother.
S2: Yes, he does. Because his mum says Jimmy, the dog, is also her child.
S3: No, he doesn’t. He’s the only child in his family.
S4: Yes, he does. He’s one year older than Jimmy.
練筆行走于小學英語課堂,課堂上出現了一幕幕生動的畫面——思維的活躍、生命的律動、激揚的文字、噴涌的情感……學生在獨具個性的表達中放飛心靈,在徜徉文字中收獲成功的快樂,給英語課堂增添了別樣的風采。
