關鍵詞：拓展教材；開闊視野；素質教育

一、拓展教材內容，開闊學生視野的必要性

在中學英語教學中，英語教師主要著眼于英語學習的基本功：聽、說、讀、寫，將英語教學看成是單純的語言課程，而忽視了對學生人文素養的培植。《新課標》指出：英語課程的學習，應以人為本，關注學生的終身發展。學生通過英語學習和實踐活動逐步掌握英語知識和技能，提高語言實際運用能力;同時又是他們磨礪意志，陶冶情操，拓展視野，豐富生活經歷，開發思維能力，發展個性和提高人文素養的過程。此處的“人文素養”需要文化知識的積淀，需要在不斷的學習和實踐中得到充實和提高。因此，教師就應該充分發掘并利用課本資源，優化課堂教學結構，營造學習情境，拓展知識渠道，恰當運用各種傳統的、現代化的教育媒體，幫助學生積淀文化底蘊，豐富學生的情感，培養其審美觀，發展其個性特長，完善人格，提高其綜合人文素養，形成健康的人生觀和世界觀，為他們的終身學習和發展打下良好的基礎。
